Remarks on Gigi Hadid’s 27th birthday

Gigi Hadid celebrated her 27th birthday yesterday in New York City with an intimate dinner downtown at Zero Bond. The weather in Manhattan was especially warm, so Hadid’s VIP guests all busted out their finest spring attire for the party. In attendance was the Hadid family — siblings Bella and Anwar, and mom Yolanda — as well as friends Emily Ratajkowski, Blake Lively, and Ziwe, among others. Watching them all stroll into the restaurant in their best party outfits was like a mini fashion show — each one turned out a statement look bolder than the next.

Let’s start with the birthday girl’s ‘fit, of course. Gigi wore a white lace look from Dion Lee that included a corset top, duster coat, and matching trousers. She also piled on the Jacquie Aiche pearls, and finished off the monochromatic (and angelic) look with white pumps. Bella, meanwhile, went the darker and sultrier route. She sported a pinstripe vest and mini skirt, accessorized with black pointed boots and a tiny shoulder bag.

As for the other stylish guests? Lively and Ratajkowski both opted for high-impact color. Lively wore Sergio Hudson’s fuchsia bodycon minidress from the fall 2022 collection, pairing it with a bright red clutch and sky-high pumps. (Is 2010s color-blocking officially back?). Ratajkowski, meanwhile, wore a cut-out maxi dress in shades of bright red and blue. All of these statement looks in one room makes us wonder if there was a dress code on the birthday invite—the memo was clearly to dress to impress.
