Gigi Hadid goes model off-duty in plaid coat and jeans for lunch in NYC

Gigi Hadid has strutted down the runway in show-stopping looks from top designers like Versace and Moschino.

But the model, 29, was much more low-key on Friday as she grabbed lunch in New York City.

Gigi — who recently celebrated her sister Bella’s 28th birthday — was seen exiting a popular restaurant rocking a pastel plaid coat and light washed jeans paired with a basic white T-shirt.

Her golden locks were tied back in a low bun, teaming her look with designer sunglasses and dark loafers. 

The style maven looked to be wearing little to no makeup, allowing her to show off her natural beauty.

The fashion mogul appeared to be scrolling on her smartphone and in good spirits while walking along the streets of the Big Apple. 

Missing from her day off was her four-year-old daughter, Khai. 

When she’s not serving stylish new looks, the blonde siren has her hands full balancing a modeling career and motherhood. 

The Los Angeles native and her ex-boyfriend, One Direction star Zayn Malik, welcomed Khai on September 19, 2020. 

Gigi and Zayn were first linked in 2015 and dated on/off for six years before calling it quits for good in late 2021. 

They have never posted their daughter’s face due to privacy concerns. 

Last year, Gigi opened up about motherhood to The Sunday Times, telling the outlet that it is her purpose.

‘[Khai] has already given me so much. I always wanted to be a mom, but I was never obsessive about it or [thought that] I was put on this Earth to be a mom,’ she told the outlet.

She gushed: ‘I’ve always been quite organized, so having Khai at the time that I did was a blessing. I’m so glad to be a young mom.’

Explaining how she and the Pillowtalk singer, 31, navigate co-parenting, she said they put Khai’s ‘happiness at the forefront.’

‘You have a long life alongside this person,’ she added of Zayn. She shared that she tries to work when ‘Khai is with her dad. That she can be with both parents makes me very happy.’

The model also admitted that her daughter is picking up bits of an English accent from spending time with her British-Pakistani father.

‘She’s clearly a child who was grown in my stomach eating a lot of British food — breakfast, beans, curries. And she still eats like that. She even says some words with a little [English] accent, which I love,’ she finished.

Gigi has since moved on from the former teen boyband alum and is currently romancing Hollywood hunk Bradley Cooper, 49, who is 20 years her senior.
