Gigi Hadid is one of the biggest names in American modeling, though that’s no real surprise. Her mother is former model Yolanda Hadid (yes, of the Real Housewives variety), which may have helped Gigi get her early start in her career.
Martha Hunt

After she was discovered by a photographer in Charlotte, North Carolina, she packed up her things and moved to New York City to meet with modeling agencies, jumpstarting her career as an American model.
