America loves the mixture of great fame and beauty with the intrigue of familial bonds and dynamics. Like Kendall and Kylie Jenner, Gigi and Bella’s combined force as a unit helps both of them individually. (And Anwar, younger brother, is even more offbeat, at least based on his quirky, artistic-leaning Instagram account.) Gigi is walking the trail in a straight line, breaking the course record Bella is ambling a bit more, taking her time and trying things out. She doesn’t handle things much differently on Twitter, either (she tweeted the word “bye” on October 31 on October 14, “everyday shit. us!)īella is not very easy to pin down, and her less-organized use of Instagram only serves to heighten the sense of mystery around her. (On Twitter, Gigi will occasionally tweet about pop culture items like Making a Murderer yes, she is, at times, just. And yeah, it is unlikely many of us look like Gigi Hadid when we use Snapchat filters, but we at least know what it’s like to mess around with a Snapchat filter for 10 minutes when you’re supposed to be finishing something for work, and then deciding you actually really like how you look in it and saving it to your camera roll, and then waiting a few days before (maybe after a glass of wine) deciding to post it to Instagram.

Meanwhile, Gigi was those same girls’ super nice, outgoing, and popular friend. Bella is the woman your friends were all terrified of from afar-and whose approval they desperately sought at the same time. While Bella’s “brand” is more enigmatic and moody, Gigi’s is sunnier, bubblier and more straight-forward. To be a pop-culture fanatic in 2016 is to be fluent in Hadid.īut Bella and Gigi-though just one year apart in age-have crafted quite different personas for themselves, and that difference is especially evident in their social-media presence. They are on the runway at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in Paris they’re on magazine covers left and right they’re on your Instagram feeds they’re on your tabloid covers. Gigi, 21 years old and one of the most famous supermodels in all the land, and her younger sister, Bella, 20, also one of the most famous supermodels in all the land, seem to be everywhere at the moment. If you’re anything like us, it is rare to have a drinks date with a friend these days that doesn’t at some point touch on the Hadid sisters. This recurring series, Social Studies, takes a closer look at the social-media accounts of our most popular and prominent stars.
