Gigi Hadid Slammed For Her ‘Elephant-Like Walk’ At The Moncler Fashion Show In Aspen: ‘She Looks Very Lost’

Gigi Hadid may rule the runway, but snowy catwalks seem to be a bit more challenging for her.

The Moncler Grenoble Fall/Winter 2026 show took place on January 31, 2026, in Aspen, Colorado, as a high-altitude, immersive event that blended 1950s American Western style with luxury alpine fashion. Set against the snowy Rocky Mountains, the runway featured cowboy hats, fur trims, and corduroy snowsuits, merging rustic Americana with high-performance cold-weather wear.

Plenty of big names were in attendance, including Alessandra Ambrosio, Jennie Kim, Maria Sharapova, Odell Beckham Jr., Orlando Bloom, Penn Badgley, Vincent Cassel, and more.

However, it was Gigi who drew the most attention—and backlash—after walking the runway. She modeled a brown-and-green collared jacket with fringe detailing along the front, pockets, and belt that cinched her waist. The look was paired with baggy green trousers, lace-up winter boots, gloves, and a helmet carried in her hand.

Unlike a traditional straight runway, the catwalk was curved and completely covered in snow, and fans were quick to point out that her walk seemed off.

Taking to Instagram, users commented, “What is this walk?” Another wrote, “That is the most elephant-like walk I’ve ever seen.” One critic went on to say, “Um, no, she’s a model; it’s not supposed to look like you or I walking off the mountain after skiing. She’s a top model; she’s supposed to project supreme confidence, poise, and a controlled, rhythmic stride. Naomi, Linda, Christy, and Cindy would never come clumping down like that. How far has the standard of modeling fallen? She’s getting paid millions for what? Pay me; I can do a better job.”

Others added, “She looks very lost … most unclassy walk ever,” while someone else bluntly commented, “Gigi walks like an elephant with club feet.”
