Gigi Hadid's younger sister, Bella Hadid, kicked off the birthday wishes with a heartfelt message accompanied by a carousel of photos featuring the sisters, including childhood snapshots.
“Happy birthday princess of Genovia, I love you so much,” Bella captioned her Instagram post. “Life without you would be nothing, I would be nothing! You inspire me and make me feel strong.
“Watching you give birth and then raise the most perfect angel is the most magical gift a sister could ask for,” Bella wrote to the mother-of-one. “I feel so lucky. You are the best and coolest mama, best sister, best daughter, and best friend. Anyone who has the privilege to be in your orbit is lucky. I love you sissy, you make me feel proud to be your sister.”
Leading designers also joined in on the celebration on the photo-sharing social media platform, including Donatella Versace, who wrote: “Happy Birthday to you, my girl @gigihadid. You are beautiful inside and out, Gigi. I hope you have the best day celebrating with Khai and all your loved ones. You deserve the best, always.”
Khai is Hadid’s three-year-old daughter with British singer Zayn Malik.
Fellow model Lily Aldridge, British designer and TV personality Tan France, stylists Elizabeth Sulcer and Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, celebrity makeup artist Patrick Ta, and many more all shared touching messages on Instagram Stories.
Also honoring the catwalk star on her special day was her father, Palestinian real estate mogul Mohamed Hadid, who posted a thoughtful birthday message on his feed.
“Happiest birthday to my beautiful smart elegant loving caring talented mother sister daughter one can ever be. Happy birthday my love,” he wrote.
While celebrating her birthday, Hadid has been busy with her fashion label, Guest In Residence. Just last week, she unveiled the Spring/Summer collection both online and in stores, introducing the brand’s inaugural cotton and silk blends, along with lightweight cashmere options.
