Gigi Hadid hits the carpet in a gorgeous blue velvet suit at the WWD Honors held at Cipriani South Street on Wednesday evening (October 25) in New York City.
The 27-year-old model was also seen posing for photos with her friend and designer Tommy Hilfiger on the carpet.
During the ceremony, Gigi presented the John B Fairchild Honor to Tommy. The award “recognizes a career of influence and distinction in the fashion industry” and is “named after WWD’s late chairman and editorial director and chosen by its current editors,” according to WWD.
Also in attendance at the event were Gossip Girl‘s Emily Alyn Lind and Dickinson‘s Ella Hunt.

“I am so honored,” Tommy said previously, after it was announced he would be getting the honor. “It was so unexpected and out of the blue. I’m actually at a loss for words. I do remember the first time I met Mr. Fairchild in 1985. I was just beginning my career and I was invited to go to lunch with him at Le Cirque. I was petrified. I had never been to such a chic restaurant like that in my life. He made me feel totally at ease, entertaining me with stories of legends such as Yves Saint Laurent and Karl Lagerfeld. He had an amazing sense of humor and incredible wit. I’ll never forget the times I spent with him. I’m absolutely thrilled and extremely humbled to receive this great honor. Thank you WWD.”
FYI: Gigi is wearing Tommy Hilfiger. Emily is wearing Versace. Ella is wearing Prada.
