Skintight, see-through and OH-so hot: Gigi’s ridiest NYFW look yet

by

With catwalk struts for DVF and Tommy Hilfiger under her belt so far this week, Gigi Hadid is officially the darling of New York Fashion Week 2016.

And the blonde beauty showed off her style prowess to perfection last night when she stepped out at a Sports Illustrated event looking downright stunning.

A sheer, skintight cut-out jumpsuit is certainly not a look for the faint-hearted, but Gigi couldn't have looked more chilled out as she posed for the cameras, smiling and enjoying her moment in the spotlight.

As for that flowing blonde hair though, the fact that her tresses were noticeably shorter at another SI event just 24 hours beforehand means this is definitely a case of expertly applied extensions.

So perfect model genes can't get you everything – at least when it comes to your hair.

The 20-year-old model appears on the pages of SI's newest swimsuit issue, and was one of many models – including Lily Aldridge and Hannah David – at the issue's launch event last night. 

Gigi's look comes from UK designer Julien McDonald's SS16 collection, and is fresh off the catwalk, meaning it's sadly not available for mainstream purchase as yet.

That's okay though, as we'll need a far few more boxing and ballet classes á la Gigi before we're ready to rock her jumpsuit.

In an impassioned Instagram post last autumn, Gigi hit back at critics of her athletic shape, saying she saw no reason why models should be stick thin.

"Yes I have boobs, I have abs, I have a butt, I have thighs, but I'm not asking for special treatment. I'm fitting into the sample sizes," she wrote.

"I represent a body image that wasn't accepted in high fashion before."

Well, given her appearance at just about every fashion event this year so far, it's clear Gigi's the one getting the last laugh over her haters.
