Vogue Criticized For Its Issue With Gigi Hadid “She’s Not French” Dedicated to the Olympics in Paris

French Vogue was criticized online because they chose American Gigi Hadid for the cover of a special issue dedicated to the Olympics in Paris, and not some French model. Gigi herself also suffered: haters thought that the model was “not in sports shape” to be filmed for a cover story dedicated to sports. The situation was not saved even by the fact that not only Gigi, but also the French actress Isabelle Huppert appeared in the promotional video dedicated to the release.

Some accuse them of being nepo babies and achieving everything solely thanks to the fact that they are promoted everywhere. Gigi is also often criticized for her figure, with many believing that she is not slim enough to be a model.

Recently, the sisters’ careers have been under threat – the reason for this was the political position of Hadid, who spoke out in support of Palestine in the conflict with Israel. According to rumors, Gigi’s high-profile romance with Bradley Cooper, which, according to insiders, is becoming “more and more serious,” is in fact only for the sake of PR and is needed precisely in order to rehabilitate Gigi’s career.
