Gigi Hadid just turned 30, but she’s serving timeless glamour like never before.
The supermodel, mom, and fashion icon dazzled at the 2025 Met Gala in a golden Miu Miu creation, styled by the brilliant Gabriella Karefa-Johnson. Her look was not just a fashion statement — it was a tribute. Gigi revealed that the ensemble was an homage to Zelda Wynn Valdez, the legendary African-American fashion designer, and Josephine Baker, the trailblazing singer and dancer known for her elegance and revolutionary presence in fashion and performance.
With sculpted curls forming a bow-like crown above her forehead, paired with dangling earrings and understated jewelry, Gigi let the outfit — and the icons it honored — do all the talking. The structured yet fluid silhouette echoed Valdez’s artistry, while the radiant gold channeled Baker’s era-defining stage glamour.
Getty Images captured the magic, and fashion lovers everywhere were quick to crown her one of the best-dressed of the night.
Her Met Gala moment came hot on the heels of a major personal milestone: Gigi’s “hard launch” of her relationship with Bradley Cooper. After over a year of speculation, she confirmed their romance with an Instagram post of a kiss shared during her 30th birthday bash — a sweet surprise for fans. Though Cooper skipped the Met steps this year, Gigi’s solo walk was more than enough to command attention.
Of course, this isn’t her first show-stopping Met moment. Fans still remember her 2016 red carpet appearance with then-boyfriend Zayn Malik, which nearly broke the internet. Gigi shares daughter Khai with the former One Direction singer, further cementing her spot as a cultural and style icon of this generation.
Noticeably absent? Bella Hadid, Gigi’s supermodel sister, who skipped the Gala for the third year in a row, sparking curiosity about her continued absence from fashion’s biggest night.
But tonight, it was all Gigi. Golden, glowing, and giving us everything.
