Gigi Hadid is known for her warm blond hair, which is typically styled in a lob (a long bob). Her hairstyle has been an inspiration to fans eager to try it out, but now she’s sporting a completely different look, and they have a lot of thoughts.
Gigi Hadid’s Dramatic New Look
In photos shared on Instagram on Thursday, January 8, by hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos, Hadid has ditched her blonde hair for a short, black hairstyle. It looks great! The bob hairstyle and the dark color really complement Hadid’s features, making for a striking finish. In the caption, Giannetos wrote, “GIGI HADID ‘Matte black Mini Bob’ New color | cut for my beautiful @gigihadid for @maybelline.”
Fans flooded the comment section with their thoughts, and many feel this is a great look for the supermodel, who is the daughter of “Real Housewives” star Yolanda Hadid. “WOW,” a comment reads. “Woooow She’s perfect,” another fan shared. Other reactions include, ”Brunette looks good on Gigi!,” “What a stunner,” and “THIS COLOR IS EVERYTHING.”
Gigi Hadid Is a Style Icon
Hadid is a style icon, and her outfits are often praised for their incredible fashion-forwardness. In a December 2017 interview with Glamour, her stylist, Mimi Cuttrell, discussed the thought behind Hadid’s outfit choices.
“[Gigi’s] goal is to make meaningful, powerful looks, and to show that she can have fun wearing really bright colors or just wearing new things—playing up your true self rather than having this thing where everyone thinks you have to dress a certain way,” Cuttrell said.
Many people are hesitant to wear color, but Hadid shows how to do so in a chic way. “If you look in the mirror and feel excited, that’s what’s it is all about,” she said of how she chooses her looks in a panel discussion, Glamor reports. “I’m really into color. Whichever color is the one that makes you smile when you wake up in the morning is the one for you that day—yellow is the color that always makes me happy.”
Hadid is praised for her willingness to experiment with her looks, but she has been reluctant to try new hairstyles, which makes her new hair even more exciting. She has made slight changes, but nothing quite as dramatic as this. She showed off a silver bob at the Le Grand Dîner du Louvre event, People reports, but she later revealed it was a wig.
In an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” in 2025, Hadid revealed her hair transformation had been a wig.
