Want to know how a model like Gigi Hadid hides her baby bump? Well, the answer is simple!
The 25-year-old hosted a livestream conversation with chef, welfare advocate and activist Sophia Roe on her Instagram page about the Black Lives Matter movement and ways to be a good ally.

As per usual, Gigi was glowing during the livestream, looking fresh-faced and chic in a beige jumpsuit. Still, many conversations focused on her looks, specifically regarding her pregnancy.
One follower commented:
“How do you not have a tummy?? I’m 4 months into my pregnancy and my tummy is huge you look great tho!”
Gigi’s response? She replied playfully:
“This angle and the really baggy jumpsuit make for an optical illusion. From the side it’s a different story! haha — wishing u the best!”
This isn’t even the first time Gigi’s adoring public has surveilled her pregnancy body a little too closely. Back in May, Bella’s sister commented on those who thought she was artificially enhancing her cheeks:
“People think I do fillers on my face, and that’s why my face is round—I’ve had this since I was born. Especially fashion month, when I was already, like, a few months preggo, you know.”
And let’s not ignore that focusing on Hadid’s body is a distraction from the genuinely important and informative conversation she had with Roe, which covered topics like privilege, redlining, gentrification, and more.

Zayn Malik’s baby momma hasn’t been taking the time off during quarantine to simply enjoy her pregnancy. She’s been busy with activism and creativity, and finding ways to combine the two. On July 1, she launched Gigi’s Journal Part II in partnership with V Magazine, with the theme “quaranti[me].”
The journal was “initially conceived to document creativity in quarantine,” but expanded to embrace the BLM movement as protests broke out throughout the world.
Gigi wrote in her editor’s note:
“I felt strongly that it was important to me, and a responsibility of mine and V Magazine, to make sure we are amplifying Black-American voices using this platform and privilege. Therefore, in the first two spreads, you will find written pieces by amazing Black-American writers and activists who have been extremely informative and inspiring for me and many others… Additionally, a percentage of proceeds from the sales of this Journal, as well as my pledge to personally match, in donation, what is raised from sold copies, will be split between four organizations that I feel are all pushing in the right direction—supporting equality and racial justice.”
Focusing too much attention on a woman’s body tends to be icky in any situation — but especially when we’re not giving enough attention to that woman’s actions! It seems like Gigi is doing really incredible things right now. Good for you, girl!
