Gigi Hadid had her own unique moment reminiscent of an ‘Eras’ tour during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show held on Tuesday, embodying her close friend Taylor Swift‘s iconic onstage signature while strutting down the runway.
Take a look … the supermodel, donning a pink satin ensemble paired with expansive coordinating wings, pushed her hip out and lifted her hand high, mimicking the very way the singer begins her record-smashing tour, just before launching into her track, “Cruel Summer.”
Gigi had hinted at her intentions to pay tribute to Taylor during the fashion event, informing Entertainment Tonight that she was “taught by Taylor” on how to execute a special move, though she remained tight-lipped about the specifics of the gesture.
She continued … “During one of her rehearsals, she said, ‘I’m going to show you how this is done.’ And now, I’m putting it into action tonight.”
Of course, Taylor is quite familiar with the Victoria’s Secret runway, as well.
The chart-topping singer previously graced the stage in the 2013 fashion show, where she performed “I Knew You Were Trouble” from her “Red” album. She also made a memorable appearance alongside Fall Out Boy, belting out their hit, “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark.”
Taylor made a return to the runway the following year, where she showcased “Blank Space” and “Style” from her tremendously successful “1989” album.
However, Gigi’s homage to Taylor wasn’t the only unforgettable highlight from the first VS Fashion Show in six years. Numerous Victoria’s Secret angels took to the runway once again, including iconic figures like Tyra Banks, Adriana Lima, Kate Moss, among others.
