Gigi Hadid As 'Queen of Couture' by Szilveszter Mako for WSJ Magazine November 2026

Gigi Hadid is experiencing her own renaissance, even though Hadid has lived at the top of the high-fashion industry for a decade. In her new fashion editorial ‘Queen of Couture’, envisioned by fashion director Willow Lindley for WSJ Magazine [IG], the IMG star steps into the world of Old Masters, recreated by the photographer of the moment — Szilveszter Mako [IG].

Gabriella Karefa-Johnson styles the fashion story, choosing Jean Paul Gaultier for the digital cover. Other couture houses featured are Balenciaga, Chanel, Dior, Georges Hobeika, Gucci, Schiaparelli and more. Edith di Monda creates the set — or “my boxes”, as Mako calls them./ Hair by Pablo Kuemin; makeup by Cecile Paravina
