Gigi Hadid has decidedly embraced the summer season, showcasing her penchant for warm-weather styles this week. Despite the less-than-sunny conditions in New York City, the supermodel made a striking appearance, embodying an elegantly eclectic aesthetic. She was en route to Altro Paradiso in Soho on May 28, 2025, to celebrate her significant collaboration with the renowned footwear brand Havaianas, an event that highlighted her new role and collection.

For this celebratory occasion, Hadid made a bold and summery shoe choice, opting for a pair of vibrant yellow flip-flops directly from Havaianas. These, while not part of her specific collaborative collection, are a staple offering from the brand. Complementing her choice of footwear was a pale green pedicure. The butter-yellow shoes were artfully paired with a sophisticated white tweed minidress by Marc Jacobs, which featured an eye-catching design of vibrantly scattered crystals.

Continuing her vision of beachy glamour infused with high fashion, Hadid accessorized her ensemble thoughtfully. She wore asymmetrical drop earrings, adorned her wrists with chunky bangles and beaded bracelets, and even sported beaded anklets, further emphasizing the summery theme. A beaded Staud bag served as the perfect finishing touch to her accessories. Her manicure was impeccably matched to her standout yellow shoes, and a chic, flipped-up bob hairstyle added an overall polished and elevated feel to her eclectic look.

The launch party celebrated Gigi Hadid's global ambassadorship with Havaianas, a partnership that was initially announced in March of the same year. This collaboration unveiled a collection of retro-inspired flip-flops designed by Hadid for the brand. While the yellow pair she wore to the event were a standard Havaianas item, she has previously endorsed their iconic status, stating, “[they’re] iconic for a reason”. She has also expressed her personal connection to the brand, telling Elle earlier in the year, “Whether it’s my shorts to go to volleyball practice, or jeans to go get a smoothie, or a dress, it feels like me to put on Havaianas.”

Ahead of her collaboration, Hadid had described various ways she envisioned styling Havaianas, one of which closely mirrored her look at the Altro Paradiso event. She provided a chic visual demonstration of her styling philosophy. “You could wear a little dress with a flip-flop and an anklet—that can be fine jewellery, or you can funk it up with something beaded or costume jewellery,” she had suggested at the time. “It feels girly but still effortless. I love a girl who rocks Havaianas.” Her appearance at the launch party served as a perfect embodiment of this effortless yet stylish approach to incorporating casual footwear into a fashionable outfit.
