DUBAI: US Dutch Palestinian supermodel Gigi Hadid walked the Miu Miu runway during Paris Fashion Week wearing a mix of classic tailoring and modern styling with a vintage edge. 

She donned a charcoal, double-breasted coat-dress with a structured, oversized silhouette. The look was completed with a 1920s-inspired hat that ties under the chin. 

The outfit was further styled with dangling gold earrings, knee-high scrunched socks in a muted olive tone and brown leather loafers. 

At Miu Miu, the little sister brand of Miuccia Prada, the feminine was not just celebrated — it was deconstructed, reconfigured and worn with a wink.

Silhouettes floated around the body rather than adhering to it, sculpted through folds, drapes, and engineered curves. Bras, no longer hidden, became garments in their own right. 

Tailoring slouched off the shoulders, and fur stoles, brooches and heavy bracelets turned the everyday into something significant, a reminder that femininity — soft or sharp — is always a force.

Besides Hadid, Prada, known for casting both models and Hollywood stars, sent a mix of familiar faces and first-time muses down the runway — Raffey Cassidy and Sarah Paulson — blurring the line between fashion and film with every step.

A$AP Rocky, perched in the front row in a nonchalant slouch, soaked in the scene, while Sydney Sweeney, swathed in Miu Miu’s latest ode to femininity, radiated old Hollywood meets modern mischief, AP reported.

Meanwhile, Hadid made headlines this week, opening up about her relationship with ex-partner Zayn Malik.

Now, years after their six-year, on-and-off relationship ended, their priority remains co-parenting their four-year-old daughter, Khai.

“Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance,” the supermodel said in an interview with Vogue. “That doesn’t mean that it doesn’t change here and there, but we help each other out and have each other’s backs.”

Hadid said that she and Malik have found a way to manage public perceptions of their past together.

“There is the hard part of the world knowing this much, and thinking they know everything,” the model said. “And at the end of the day, we’re not interested in giving everyone our whole story.

“What we are interested in is raising our daughter together,” she added. “With so much respect for each other, and not just as co-­parents, but what we’ve been through together.”
