Gigi Hadid Shares First-Ever Maternity Shoot Photos: 'Growin an Angel'

From ELLE

Gigi Hadid is ready to share intimate photos from her pregnancy with the world. The model posted a series of maternity shoot portraits taken by fashion photographers Luigi and Iango on her Instagram this morning. She was styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson and her makeup was done by Erin Parsons. "Growin an angel :)," she captioned her first post.

She revealed the photos were taken on July 26 in her second shot.

And in her third, she thanked her collaborators: "Cherishing this time. appreciate all the love & well wishes ♡" Hadid wrote. "Will never forget creating these special images with my friends @luigiandiango @gabriellak_j @erinparsonsmakeup thank you. I love you!"

Hadid spoke on an Instagram Live in July about why she initially held off sharing any photos from her pregnancy on her social media. (Hadid's first child with boyfriend Zayn Malik is due in September.)

"Obviously I think a lot of people are confused why I'm not sharing more but like, I'm pregnant through a pandemic, like obviously my pregnancy is not the most important thing going on in the world," Hadid said. "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 BLM [Black Lives Matter] movement, and I thought that our presence on social media should be used for that."

"I have been taking a lot of pictures of my bump and sending it to friends and family and it's been very cute and exciting and I'm trying to document it well because I've heard a lot of people say obviously make sure you don't miss it," she continued. "And I will be sharing stuff like that in the future. I just am not rushed to do it, and I feel like right now I just want to experience it, and I write in my journal a lot, and I just don't want to worry about waking up everyday during my pregnancy and like worry about having to like look cute or post something."
