Gigi Hadid: NYC Street Style Reignites • CelebMafia

Gigi Hadid’s latest New York outing signals a subtle yet significant shift in celebrity street style, veering away from the ubiquitous flip-flop trend.

It seems we’re witnessing the rise of another flip-flops with jeans advocate. So far, Kendall Jenner, Hailey Bieber, and Kylie Jenner have been holding down the fort, inspired by The Row’s Spring 2025 collection. On June 12, however, Gigi Hadid was one piece away from joining the club.

Just a few days after pulling off butter yellow with neon pink, the supermodel returned to New York’s street style scene wearing more neutral tones. While strolling through her NoHo neighborhood, paparazzi captured Hadid in her model off-duty best, starting with mid-wash jeans. She chose her signature straight-leg silhouette, plus a subtle flare at the hems, paired with a skintight long-sleeve tee.

From there, she could’ve popped on The Row’s flip-flops and went on her merry way. Instead, the Guest In Residence founder chose an equally-enviable pair from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s label: the ballet flats. The $820 slip-ons, made of calfskin nappa leather, mimicked Mary Kate’s with elastic straps across the insteps.

The look was anchored by The Row Elastic Ballet Slippers, a sophisticated choice that speaks to an understated luxury, pairing seamlessly with her relaxed, wide-leg denim. This conscious pivot from casual flip-flops to refined flats, notably from the same design house, subtly elevates the ensemble. Hadid completed her effortless yet polished aesthetic with a Polo Ralph Lauren ID Calfskin Large Shoulder Bag, adding a touch of timeless utility. Her pulled-back hair and minimal accessories reinforce the chic, off-duty model narrative.
