At the 2016 British Fashion Awards on Monday night, Gigi Hadid was crowned “International Model of the Year” by one of her long-time idols, Donatella Versace.
The award was presented to the 21-year-old model by the British Fashion Council, the driving force behind London Fashion Week and a notable champion of British fashion.
The “International Model of the Year” award has previously been bestowed upon Kate Moss, Georgia May Jagger and Cara Delevingne. This year, Gigi’s younger sister Bella and best friend Kendall Jenner were also nominated for the title.
