DUBAI: Virgil Abloh’s fall 2020 show for Off-White was a family affair, with Bella Hadid opening the show, Gigi Hadid closing it, and their mother, Yolanda Hadid, walking mid-runway during Paris Fashion Week on Thursday night.
While the former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star has spent the past several weeks traveling between London, Milan, and Paris with her daughters, she is always sat on the front row to support them while they strut down the catwalk. However, at Off-White, Yolanda decided to dust off her old modeling hat and join her daughters in what would be her first runway in almost 35-years. Wearing a white, graffiti-print blazer and black trousers, the 56-year-old was more than prepared to return to the catwalk at Off-White’s show.
Of course, Yolanda has plenty of experience in the modeling world. She was discovered at the age of 14 when Dutch designer Frans Molenaar asked her to replace a model in one of his collections. She would go on to become a fashion week fixture during the ‘80s and ‘90s, and appear in the pages of high profile fashion publications.
“I grew up in a really small town in Holland called Papendrecht, and I’d never seen a fashion magazine when I became a model,” Yolanda told W Magazine back in 2018. “I was not educated at all, and I was kind of thrown into it by accident — or maybe because it was my destiny, but at the time it felt like an accident.”
Though she no longer models, the mother of Gigi and Bella is a best-selling author, former “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” cast member and a TV host.
