Gigi Hadid Defends Herself Against Fans Who Criticised Her Outfit Choices

'Over the snarky comments.'

By Jonah Waterhouse
If Gigi Hadid's smooth handling of the Chanel runway crasher proved anything, it's that the supermodel can definitely hold her own—an attribute that translates just as well on social media.
On November 5, 2019, Hadid took to Twitter to defend herself against fans who criticised one of her fashion choices, with the outfit in question being a casual activewear number she wore to run errands.
After paparazzi pictures of the outfit surfaced, two Twitter accounts criticised the look, with one of them openly critiquing Hadid's stylist, Mimi Cuttrell.
Hadid responded to the now-deleted tweets, saying: "U guys need to calm tf down sometimes. It's called stepping out to do one errand - not dressing for your approval. Your unrealistic expectations & petty complaining all the time about my style or not being sexy enough isn't going to make me dress differently."

Hadid further explained that she wasn't just criticising the Twitter users in question, saying: "Not just talking about this specific comment. U all talk about empowering women. I support and empower women that show skin and that don't. It's about choice.
Hadid's tweets prompted a response from one of the original accounts, who tweeted that they "didn't mean to upset [Hadid] in any way".
As one of the world's most popular models, Hadid has defended herself against social media trolling for years, from everything from her fashion choices to body-shaming.
After being body-shamed on social media, the 24-year-old explained her diagnosis with Hashimoto's disease (a condition affecting the thyroids) in a Twitter thread in 2018, saying that it caused her weight to fluctuate.
