Gigi Hadid dazzled in gold on the Met Gala on Monday, simply days after ringing in her thirtieth birthday.
The supermodel, who was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson, wore a customized Miu Miu robe for the event. Hadid mentioned the beautiful gown paid homage to the groundbreaking Black dressmaker Zelda Wynn Valdes.
“It’s a celebration of Zelda Wynn Valdes, who was a fashion designer in the late ’40s,” Hadid mentioned on Vogue’s livestream on Monday. “She was trained by her uncle in his men’s tailoring shop and went on to open her own store in Washington Heights.”
Valdez made waves for dressing Black celebrities like Ella Fitzgerald, Eartha Kitt, Dorothy Dandridge and Josephine Baker.
