Gigi Hadid lands first Vogue UK cover

While there's no reference to social media on Gigi Hadid's latest magazine cover for Vogue UK (thank goodness), the model does talk about her meteoric rise in fashion and the role of social media in her career in the accompanying interview (sigh). Hadid credits model-turned-actress Cara Delevingne for helping her remain true to herself on social media. "Cara Delevingne was never scared of being weird," she explains. {Vogue UK}
