WHO MADE HAILEY BALDWIN INSECURE?
The model used to compare herself to the Hadid sisters and Kendall Jenner
Model Hailey Baldwin has admitted that she used to harbour an inferiority complex, comparing herself to fellow models and friends, Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Gigi Hadid.
“I’m shorter than most of the girls... I’m not a runway girl and I totally used to feel inferior to some of my friends,” the 23-year-old wife of singer Justin Bieber told Vogue Australia. She was talking about why she felt insecure coming into the profession.
Hailey is the niece of Hollywood star Alec Baldwin and daughter of actor Stephen Baldwin. She said that her last name has also often been a reason for problems, adding that casting directors at ramp shows were often reluctant to sign her on.
“I had so many people, like casting directors, say ‘We don’t think she’s a real model’,” pagesix.com quoted her as saying.
Hailey explained she gradually learnt to carve her niche in a way that she does not have to face the runway competition. She “found her own lane” in the world of commercial modelling campaigns.
Right now, she is associated with several top-list brands. She also represents Justin Bieber’s Drew fashion line, and is the host of a musical reality competition on TV.
Hailey is known to be sporting about her flaws as a professional model. Not long ago she posted a snapshot on social media that has her ramp walking, and joked about her imperfect walk by drawing a circle and a question mark around her bent elbow.
