It seems Gigi Hadid has changed her tune since she spoke out in July about why she wasn’t posting pregnancy photos.
“Obviously, I think a lot of people are confused why I’m not sharing more, but I’m pregnant through a pandemic,” she explained on Instagram Live. “Obviously, my pregnancy is not the most important thing going on in the world. That’s a reason that I felt that it’s not really something that I need to share apart from with my family and friends. Obviously, a lot of people have lost lives due to coronavirus that was in the beginning of quarantine and still happening. And then we moved obviously into the reemergence of the [Black Lives Matter] movement, and I thought that our presence on social media should be used for that.”
Now that we’re a few weeks further into that particular fight (but still fighting), Hadid seems to be relaxing her rules a bit when it comes to sharing pregnant pics on her social media. She’s shared quite a few gorgeous ones, wearing variations of different-colored silk dresses, all taken by photography duo Luigi and Iango, presumably for Garage Magazine (Hadid tagged Garage editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson in the shots on her Instagram).
But our favorite has to be the one she posted Monday, August 31, in nothing but unbuttoned baggy jeans, a white sports bra, and a bare belly. In fact, the black-and-white portrait — between the clothing, hair, and makeup choices — is a dead ringer for another classic supermodel black-and-white: Kate Moss’s 1990s campaign with Calvin Klein, of course.
33 weeks ♡

Hadid kept her caption short, simply stating that she’s “33 weeks” pregnant (wow, time flies in 2020) in the photo, along with a heart emoji. Of course, Moss wasn’t pregnant in her iconic Calvin Klein campaign, but there’s plenty of other similarities — from the button-fly denim to the choker trend resurgence to the, um, lack of shirt that makes Hadid’s recent portrait a clear homage to much of Mario Sorrenti’s work with model Moss in 1992.

It’s worth noting that Hadid and Moss are no strangers; the pair of supermodels even posed together in a Stuart Weitzman campaign in 2018.
That “spirit and presences” is certainly something Hadid is channeling herself in these latest pics. Shall we expect a little baby named Kate, at this rate? Or, who are we kidding — given how weird this summer’s celebrity baby names have been, a baby named Moss is probably more likely.
I had the great honor and pleasure of shooting the new @stuartweitzman campaign with the one and only Kate. @katemossagency , I had the greatest time with you, and am forever touched by your spirit and presence. I am beyond proud to be part of the SW family with you and our beloved @mariotestino @sarajanehoare @giovannimorelli8 @sduff20 ♡ ss18 campaign out soon ! #inourshoes
