On Wednesday, Hadid uploaded new shots from a maternity shoot and showed off her growing stomach, redefining the term glowing.Captioning the first set of images, “Growin’ an angel,” Hadid poses in a long white gauzy gown that clings to her rounded belly.
Wearing the same gauzy dress for the third set of photos, Hadid takes the camera straight on as she lovingly cradles her stomach. “Cherishing this time. Appreciate all the love and well wishes. Will never forget creating these special images with my friends,” wrote Hadid, who pulled off the stunning photos with the help of photography duo Luigi and Lango, fashion director Gabriella Karefa-Johnson and makeup artist Erin Parsons.
Parsons posted a behind-the-scenes snap from Hadid’s photoshoot, which shows the makeup artist and her team in masks and face shields while working with the expectant mom. “First time working with the baby,” wrote Parsons, who has collaborated with Hadid several times in the past, including the final couture runway show for Jean Paul Gaultier. “Cherishing this moment and so beyond happy for you G!
