American model Gigi Hadid has starred in a revealing new fashion shoot for EE72 magazine, wearing a fitted black gown with an extremely deep plunge neckline.
The image was published on the magazine's official Instagram page. The 31-year-old model posed for fashion photographer Craig McDean in the body-hugging gown, which features dramatic cutouts along her ribs held together with decorative gold safety pins and a slit reaching up to her thigh.
Hadid completed the daring look with bold makeup that emphasized her eyes and wore her hair gathered back in a styled updo.
Supermodel career and global recognition
Hadid, an American model of Palestinian-Dutch origin, has been one of the most recognizable figures in global fashion for over a decade. Born Jelena Noura Hadid in Los Angeles to real estate developer Mohamed Hadid and former model Yolanda Hadid, she began modeling as a child for Guess before gaining international fame in the mid-2010s.
Over her career, Hadid has appeared on dozens of international Vogue covers and walked the runway for major luxury fashion brands in New York, Milan, and Paris. She has been a regular fixture at premier industry events such as Paris Fashion Week, as well as the famous Victoria's Secret fashion show, which recently made its runway return with a renewed focus on deliberate, high-impact glamour.
Reflections on early body shaming
The new magazine shoot follows recent comments by the supermodel regarding the intense scrutiny she experienced when first entering high fashion. In August, Hadid spoke openly about facing weight-related hate and online criticism during the initial stage of her career.
She revealed that she was bullied over her body shape when she first began modeling professionally, admitting that critics and industry insiders frequently urged her to lose weight.
Despite that early pressure regarding her figure, Hadid went on to build one of the fashion world's most lucrative and high-profile careers. Her latest shoot for EE72 magazine highlights her ongoing presence at the forefront of luxury editorial fashion.
