Gigi Hadid's Transformation Is Seriously Turning Heads

Gigi Hadid is one of the most iconic faces in the fashion industry, and, from the looks of it, she's just getting started. From GUESS to Victoria's Secret, and supermodel to super-mom, this talented stunner clearly knows what it takes to succeed. So what's her secret sauce? Here's why Gigi Hadid is seriously turning heads. She might have one of the most recognizable faces in the modeling world today, but the name we've all come to love is actually relatively new. Gigi was born in April 1995 to her parents Mohamed and Yolanda Hadid under a much different name, and very far removed from the catchy, four-letter "Gigi." In fact, her given name is, drumroll, please… "Jelena." So, how did "Gigi" become a thing? Well, she got it from her mama. Recalling how a teacher once asked her mom what nickname she could call her daughter, Gigi told Vogue, "My mom was called [Gigi] as a kid by her mother when she was younger, but only around the house…My mom was like, 'I call her Gigi sometimes.' And the name stuck."
