Gigi Hadid recently confirmed she is expecting her first child with long-term boyfriend Zayn Malik. And now, the model has revealed that she was “a few months” pregnant when walking the runway at New York Fashion Week back in February.
In an Instagram Live with celebrity makeup artist Erin Parsons for Maybelline yesterday, Parsons and Hadid touched on the accusations that the model has had cheek fillers, to which Hadid replied, “People think I do fillers on my face and that’s why my face is round. I have had cheeks since I was born.” She added that speculation increased in February as she appeared on the runways. “Especially fashion month – when I was a few months preggo, you know? Parsons then queried how Hadid’s face will change over her last trimester (she’s currently six months pregnant), to which Hadid replied, “I have the cheeks already so there’s not a lot to fill in.”
Hadid isn’t the first model to walk a runway pregnant. In fact, she joins plenty of her fellow Victoria’s Secret models as having done so. Here’s 12 times models walked a runway whilst pregnant (including Slick Woods, who was actually in labour at the time):
