Hailey Baldwin on the Instamodel crew: Were not saying were supermodels
Hailey Baldwin is a model. I’m saying that because I know there will be some WHO-ing in the comments. We’ve gossiped about Hailey before, actually. She was one of several girls/women in LA who dated Justin Bieber over the summer. Hailey is also trying to be part of the Kendall Jenner-Gigi Hadid nepotism-model crew, because Hailey is second-generation too (her father is Stephen Baldwin).
I personally don’t “know” Hailey as a model whatsoever – I’m sure she’s worked some runway shows or something, but it feels like she’s more of an Instamodel, famous for having followers rather than her superior modeling skillz. That being said, I don’t hate Hailey’s new Harper’s Bazaar Australia cover. She’s giving better “face” than Kendall Jenner, actually. Alhough… I pretty much couldn’t pick this girl out of a line-up, even with this Bazaar cover. Hailey is only 19 years old, so I guess… good for her for scoring a Bazaar cover, all things considered. In the interview, she tries to say that the original supermodels shouldn’t be scared of the Instamodels.
On the Instamodels being called “supermodels”: “The older supermodels sometimes don’t agree with the fact there is a new generation of models. We’re not saying we’re supermodels. I’d rather people look at us as businesspeople, and, yes, modeling is our business right now, but we’re not trying to take anybody’s spot and we’re not trying to discredit the past.”
She’ll never be a Moss: Baldwin also revealed that she’s always been told that she’ll never be as big as Kate Moss, but said she’s a “completely different individual” and wants to carve her own career in the industry.
Her BFFs: “If you start to BS these friends, they call you out. They’re ride-or-die for you, no matter what — they have your back.”
Oh, honey. The OG Supermodels are not scared or worried or even concerned a little bit. And no, you’re never going to be a Moss. Kendall is never going to be Cindy. Bella is never going to be Linda. Gigi is never going to be Claudia. The OG Supermodels just want to remind everyone of those facts.
