When you think of Gigi Hadid, what is the first thing you think of? For us, it’s gorgeous, smart, best friends with Kendall Jenner and so many other amazing things. But unfortunately to a Tommy Hilfiger casting director, “fat” is one of them.
According to Cosmopolitan, Tommy Hilfiger revealed in an interview with Yahoo Style that when Hadid was being cast for her first Hilfiger Collection runway show in 2015, she was forced to cover up because apparently, she wasn’t “thin” enough.
Hilfiger said in the interview that the casting director commented, “She doesn’t really fit because you know she’s not quite as tall as the other girls, she’s not quite as thin.” And so instead she wore a red, white, and blue poncho that covered “a lot of her body, unfortunately, but it received millions of hits.” Well, of course, it received a million hits, it's Gigi Hadid! 
Thankfully, the casting director has since *realized* how gorgeous Hadid is and she has walked in Hilfiger’s shows ever since.
