Gigi Hadid left fans divided over her latest fashion choice after stepping out in a look that many said brought back questionable early-2000s trends they hoped would stay in the past.
The supermodel surprised fans and aspiring models during a Victoria’s Secret event at Dadeland Mall in Miami ahead of Swim Week. For the appearance, Gigi wore a butter-yellow satin babydoll mini dress featuring buttons down the center and nude lace detailing along the front.

Gigi Hadid Pairs A Babydoll Dress With Bedazzled Jeans
However, what truly caught people off guard was how she styled the dress—with a pair of light-wash jeans covered in scattered crystal embellishments layered underneath. She completed the outfit with gold strappy heels, layered necklaces, chunky gold bangles, earrings, and rings.
For glam, the mom of two leaned into a sun-kissed beauty look with rosy pink blush, brown-toned lips, and soft beachy waves in her hair.
While some fans appreciated the bold styling experiment, many online critics weren’t sold on the return of the dress-over-jeans trend.
“Not the dress with the jeans. I can’t go back. I won’t,” one person commented on Instagram. Another wrote, “Not the dress over jeans combo.”
Others questioned the overall styling and makeup choices. “Looks a mess to me … and maybe too much blush?” one user said, while another added, “No hate. She’s a beauty. But I can’t get behind whatever she’s wearing.” One commenter bluntly wrote, “Genuinely one of the worst outfits I’ve ever seen,” while another joked, “When you want to wear jeans but your mom makes you wear a dress.”
Some fans even compared the styling to another celebrity known for controversial fashion choices, with one user asking, “Has Blake Lively styled her???”
And perhaps the most common reaction of all: “Do not bring that style back.”

But the 31-year-old also embraced a much more widely loved trend just one day earlier. On May 21, she stepped out in a chic polka dot ensemble featuring a black-and-white midi skirt with a bubble drop waist silhouette, paired with a cream plunging buttoned vest.
The Guest in Residence founder completed the retro-inspired look with classic black pumps, leaning into a polished, vintage aesthetic that fans found far more wearable and universally flattering.
