Gigi Hadid was destined for modelling success from a very early age, if some recently re-surfaced images of the star as a young child are anything to go by.
Reminiscing about her first (baby) steps into the industry on Twitter, the model asked for help from her legions of fans to track down images from her high fashion debut as a five year old, appearing in the pages of French Vogue.
‘SOS! Looking for that photo of me when I’m really young (5 maybe?) when I got caught in a French vogue photoshoot… any1?’ she posted. Her followers were able to track down the shoot in question in remarkably quick time: as in, it took them just one minute to locate it online (the perks of having a multi-million strong social media following, we imagine).
Multiple fans replied to her tweet with black and white images showing a young Gigi smiling and wearing a bandana, her hair in pigtails and wearing a denim jacket.
Mini Gigi being a major over-achiever, however, there were plenty of options for her fans to send back, including one image where the model in the making stands to the side of the frame in front of a model in an ornate pink ensemble, clutching an Eiffel Tour souvenir.
These days, of course, Gigi has a string of international Vogue covers to her name, but we imagine these nostalgic throwback shoots still hold a certain charm for the model.
She later tweeted a message of gratitude to her fans for digging up the vintage snap, writing: ‘Love you guys for this… [you] the best.’ Lessons learned: Gigi has been a dead cert for modelling supremacy since she was barely out of pre-school, and her fans are a research force to be reckoned with.
