Gigi Hadid Runs and Leaps in Heels for ‘Vogue’

Gigi Hadid finally snagged her first Vogue US cover, and posed alongside Olympic decathlon and gold medalist Ashton Eaton.

An ultimate dream come true, I am beyond humbled. Shooting my first American @voguemagazine cover, in my hometown, was so surreal. And to be able to share it with Olympic Gold Medalist and my new friend #AshtonEaton is such an honor. I couldn’t think of a cover I’d rather be on than the one celebrating athletics. Being an athlete has brought so much pride and joy to my life and has instilled the work ethic that still drives me every day. To Anna, @mariotestino, @tonnegood & everyone at Vogue- thank you from the bottom of my heart for believing in me, teaching me, showing me the world, and being such a pleasure to work with. ❤️ To @luizmattos1906 and my @imgmodels family, I don’t thank you guys enough- I appreciate you so much. We did it!!!!!!! This one’s dedicated to my biggest inspirations to work hard, my family, to all my coaches throughout my life 🏐🐎 and of course to the fans that have stuck by me from the start!!! Feeling extremely blessed. x

The August issue of the magazine pays homage to today’s “12 must-see Olympians,” and also has Olympic decathlete Ashton Eaton on the cover. Of course, Gigi also showed off her best decathlon moves during the shoot while wearing designer dresses and Fenty x Puma sneaker heels. There’s even video proof of her effortlessly running and jumping on set.

Gigi has appeared on the covers of Vogue Paris, Italia, and China. Now that she’s got the coveted US cover, she describes it as “an ultimate dream come true.”
