Gigi Hadid is on the cover of Harper's Bazaar this month, which includes tons of gorgeous new photos of the 22-year-old model. Not only was Gigi photographed for the magazine, she was also interviewed by Blake Lively. Gigi and Blake run in the same Hollywood social circles, aka they're both besties with Taylor Swift, but there's actually a pretty significant age gap between the two women. During the course of the interview, Gigi even accidentally called Blake old and it's such a hilarious moment.
While the eight year age between Gigi and Blake - Gigi is 22-years-old, while Blake is 30-years-old - may not seem like a huge gap, it's actually pretty significant for one important reason. Gigi grew up in the age of social media, while Blake did not, which they discussed during the interview:
Blake Lively: Well, you’re for sure good at curating images. I love your Instagram; it’s so artistic. My social media, on the other hand, looks like a screen grab from Supermarket Sweep.
Gigi Hadid: I like your Instagram!
BL: It’s all over the place. Sometimes I use filters, sometimes I don’t. I don’t use a nice even aesthetic.
GH: For me, social media comes up very much as a timeline. I was a sophomore in high school when Instagram launched and started posting the year after.
Their Instagram discussion quickly turned to prom with Blake wondering if Gigi's carefully curated page contained any vintage prom pictures. It was then then Gigi accidentally called Blake old. Blake, of course, had the perfect response.
BL: Detour....Did you go to prom?
GH: All four years.
BL: Wait, you were asked to prom as a freshman? My God, you were cool. I’m so intimidated now. Do you have your prom pictures on there? Can we go down the Instagram rabbit hole and see all of this? Where did you get your dress?
GH: I never bought a prom dress; I just went in my mom’s closet. We wear the same size shoe and dress, so it was major.
BL: Did you have a “fancy gown” prom, or was it more Laguna Beach? I know, I’ve got high-class reality-TV references.
GH: In Malibu, we wore short dresses to prom because it’s a beach town. The gown situation wasn’t really our thing.
BL: Yeah, my prom situation was full-on Toddlers & Tiaras.
GH: When I see old movies, I love that about prom.
BL: I love being compared to old movies. Nothing makes me feel younger or more relevant.
Come on, admit it. This made you LOL. Blake handled the accidental dig at her age with perfect comedic stride, which is just one of the many reasons she's so great.
Can these two always do interviews together? It should be a thing: The Gigi Hadid and Blake Lively interview series. I'm already a fan.
