Considering Gigi Hadid is one of the most popular supermodels in the world, it’s no surprise she’s a pro at transforming her look — on and off the runway! The Los Angeles native has changed so much since her early days on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills.

Life & Style confirmed in April 2020 that Gigi and then-boyfriend boyfriend Zayn Malik were expecting their first child together.

Two months later, the Vogue cover model and the former boy-bander welcomed their daughter, baby Khai. “To try put into words how I am feeling right now would be an impossible task,” Zayn wrote alongside a photo of the newborn gripping his finger in September 2020. “The love I feel for this tiny human is beyond my understanding. Grateful to know her, proud to call her mine and thankful for the life we will have together.”

Look back at Gigi’s transformation over the years.
