A night of fashion! Gigi Hadid and more stars attended the 2022 WWD Honors Awards in style.
The supermodel, 27, played it cool at the Tuesday, October 25, event in New York, wearing a blue velvet suit by Tommy Hilfiger. The vibrant number featured an elongated double-breasted blazer, which Hadid wore atop a white button-up. She completed the look with straight-leg trousers and a pair of white pointed-toe pumps. For her glam, the California native rocked soft pink eyeshadow and wore her hair in crinkled waves.
On the red carpet, Hadid posed with Hilfiger, 71, who matched her in a navy suit. It was a big night for the fashion designer as he received the John B. Fairchild Honor.

She continued: “So, my first Tommy show I was so excited, and it was a dream come true. I won’t forget it. It was the football field show and I wore a red poncho — I still have it … At that time, I was from California, I had done a lot of commercial work and Tommy was [one of the first] high fashion places that I felt like I belonged, at a time where at the beginning of my career not a lot of designers were grasping onto me.

Other award recipients included Ulta Beauty as the Best-Performing Beauty Company and Jacquemus as the Best-Performing Fashion Company. Hermés also took home the Best-Performing Fashion Company award.
