Gigi won’t dress for approval

Gigi Hadid shut down fan complaints about her style choices, saying she isn’t here to meet their skyhigh expectations when it comes to style.

The 24-year-old model loves to go glam for the red carpet and runway shows but stepped out on Tuesday in a more casual and comfortable outfit. She wore a colour-blocked sweatshirt, black leggings and zip-up sneakers along with a puffer jacket.

Apparently, her laid-back look didn’t sit so well with a few fans. One of them tweeted, “She’s such a natural beauty... idon’tknow what happened to her iconic street style tho.”

Hadid swiftly clapped back at the critic and tweeted, “U guys need to calm tf down sometimes. It’s called stepping out to do one errand — not dressing for your approval. Your unrealistic expectations & petty complaining all the time about my style or not being sexy enough isn’t going to make me dress differently.”

The supermodel added, “U all talk about empowering women. I support and empower women that show skin and that don’t. It’s about choice. I show skin when I want to and still feel sexy covered head to toe & will continue to do so. Over the snarky comments.”

In response to another comment regarding her outfit, the model clarified how she picks her looks. “I like what I wear and wear it for that reason. It’s not about a stylist, it’s how I’m choosing to express myself. Your opinion isn’t going to change that. Those of you who feel this way should focus on praising those whose style u love. Peace,” she concluded.
