Gigi Hadid Calls Out Body Shamers With An Open Letter

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Fairfield chapter.

If you talk to almost anyone about Gigi Hadid they probably will say something along the lines of “she slayed it at NYFW”, or “she is the model to watch!” They would not be far off. Gigi has been absolutely killing it during this past month, and has walked for some of the most well known designers in the world. With all of Gigi’s success and fame, she has become susceptible to haters, and even though she seems like a superwoman, she is still human. Gigi posted an open letter to Instagram on Monday reminding everyone that, as much as she tries for it not to, the negativity can sometimes get to her.

In this letter Gigi calls out her haters, and explains what message she is trying to send. She acknowledges that her body might not be what the fashion world views as typical, “Yes, I have boobs, I have abs, I have a butt, I have thighs”, but she goes on to write that she loves her body, and she will not let the mean comments change her positive body image. Don’t worry Gigi, we love you just the way you are!
