Gigi Hadid Birthday Celebrations Recap – The Hollywood Reporter
In the fashion realm, Gigi Hadid’s birthday is the equivalent of a national holiday.
As such, the supermodel and her legion of super friends — superstar Taylor Swift and supermodel Kendall Jenner included — reserved the entire week beginning April 22 (the day before Hadid’s actual day of birth) for festivities in Hadid’s honor. Private jets? Check. Crazy cakes? Check. Photo booths? Obviously, check.
Let’s begin with the Hadid family’s birthday brunch, which brought together siblings Anwar and Bella, as well as equally attractive half siblings Alana and Marielle Hadid.
Behold the hotness:

And finally, the big shebang: Thursday evening’s birthday bash at The Nice Guy in West Hollywood, where Kardashians, Victoria’s Secret Angels and even John Mayer turned up — the perfect recipe for a fairy-tale L.A. soiree.
Swift quoted boyfriend Calvin Harris to caption her photo-booth Instagram picture with Lily Aldridge and the Haim sisters:
Gigi also commemorated the coming together of friends new and old:
We can only assume that the 21-year-old — finally of legal drinking age — also celebrated with a cocktail (or two). Early on in the evening, Gigi tweeted a martini-glass emoji.
Cheers:
