Gigi Hadid’s Black Bob Hair Transformation Is Her Darkest Look Yet
Gigi Hadid’s daughter has never looked more like her mini me.
The 30-year-old model gave fans a glimpse inside her family’s 2025 holiday celebrations, including some sweet moments with her and ex Zayn Malik’s 5-year-old daughter, Khai.
Leading her Instagram photo dump posted on Jan. 20, Gigi shared a pic of herself sitting next to Khai on a Santa train ride. Though her daughter’s back was to the camera, Gigi and Khai showed off their matching red attire, with the model wearing a red and black plaid jacket and jeans. Meanwhile, Khai sparkled in a festive red dress with white tights. The duo also rocked matching hairstyles with their long blonde locks on full display.
In the sweet shot, Gigi leaned her head towards her daughter’s shoulder and smiled for the camera while Khai looked out the window.
However, the matching didn’t last long, as both Gigi and Khai got major haircuts just days later. Gigi—who debuted a dark bob style on Jan. 8—wrote in the Instagram caption, “My lil bestie ended the year with the big chop she wanted.”
In other snaps from over the holidays, the Next in Fashion cohost captured a sweet moment between her and Khai as they played dolls together and a video of her sitting on the floor of Khai’s redecorated playroom after Gigi gave it a “Christmas-surprise update!”
“Got some additions and organized some old favorites to give Khai’s playroom,” Gigi said, adding of her daughter’s reaction, “She loved it.”
Gigi’s sister, Bella Hadid, also made a cameo in the post, making Christmas cookies with Khai.
Closing out her post, Gigi said she “spent the first week of 2026 in the sunshine,” and noted that she felt “very grateful for this life.”
Though Gigi tends to keep Khai’s life private and never shows her face in photos, she does occasionally share glimpses at their adventures together. Most recently, in November, Gigi shared a look into their Thanksgiving prep, in which she praised her daughter for being “Mama’s little helper.” They also enjoyed some fall activities in some pics on Nov. 3, showing them riding a horse together.
Read on to see Gigi’s cutest photos of Khai.
