As the saying goes, every brunette needs a blonde BFF, so that might be the reason behind the enviable Gigi Hadid and Kendall Jenner friendship. Both ladies come from famous families but in the past few years, they’ve made a name for themselves in the fashion industry... and on social media too, of course. It should be no surprise that whenever these celeb BFFs are together they are complete #friendshipgoals. These two gives us serious friend inspiration since they always seem so supportive of each other and they seem to truly love one another... not to mention that they always look like they’re having a blast together. You can do almost anything when you're fierce, but you can do even more when you have a fierce best friend at your side supporting you along the way. Here are 15 of our favorite memories of Kendall and Gigi that seriously make us want to grab our best friends and pose for some epic photos.
15 Casually Fashionable
With careers as booming as theirs, you would think Kendall and Gigi fill their free time with A-list parties, movie screenings, and lavish pampering sessions. But sometimes, the girls enjoy casual fun that any close friends would enjoy. This paparazzi picture, snapped in December 2015, shows the ladies enjoying a casual afternoon out. Perhaps they were going to the gym or maybe to a see a movie, but it definitely was somewhere relaxed. Both ladies wore matching athleisure-inspired outfits. Gigi and Kendall are known for often matching their outfits in the most adorable ways (so much better than matching with your significant other), so this is an example of how similar their styles are, even on casual days. Both models opted for black leggings and lace-up runners and then completed their look with oversized bomber jackets, albeit both in different colors to match each girl’s personality. Total proof that lounging around in Lululemon's can totally look fashionable.
14 (Not) Third Wheeling
If we were to guess, we would say Joe Jonas was the third wheel instead of Kendall. This picture was taken back when Gigi and Joe Jonas were an item. The three friends went to see Serena Williams compete in the 2015 US Open in New York City, accompanied by Kendall’s sister, Kim Kardashian. Though there was no sign of a date for Kendall, the three appeared to be having a great time watching and chatting with each other. Again, the two ladies looked ultra fashionable in their outfit choices, but this is one occasion they weren’t matching. Kendall sported a white crop top and matching skirt, while Gigi wore denim on denim with a trendy neck scarf. If one thing is clear, it’s that best friends who can hang out with only one of their boyfriend’s without someone being a third wheel is the sign of a strong friendship.
13 Victoria’s Angels
Gigi and Kendall both shared a major career milestone when they walked the Victoria’s Secret Runway together in 2015. And it was even more magical to see the two of these awesome ladies get asked to walk the show at the same time! This was something the girls had said they had been working towards for years since it’s a sign you’ve really made it in the modeling industry. Before and after the popular event, the girls (and their large families) shared photos and messages over social media congratulating and supporting each other, making everyone’s hearts melt everywhere. Gigi told Vogue.com, “It’s really awesome and I’m so happy it happened this way. It’s really nice that we’re getting to do it together and spend this time together.” Kendall had equally positive things to say about her close friend. The two look absolutely glamorous on the catwalk together, proving they are two of the strongest celebrity BFFs in Hollywood.
12 Artsy Selfies
You know you’re close to someone when you can take artsy selfies with ten different filters and still want to post them to Instagram. Gigi posted this photo of her and Kendall to her Instagram account, proving that these girls love to sit around and take pointless photos together... just like you and your BFF. See, you knew you had tons in common with them. Obviously, the two models look stunning in the photo, even though only the lower half of their face is shown. Being in the modeling industry, we’re sure these girls know the right (and wrong) way to pose for selfies. Given all the professional paparazzi photos that are taken of the two every day, it’s refreshing when they post more personal photos, showing that, in some ways, they are just like average BFFs. Kendall and Gigi routinely share snaps of each other, including hipster-inspired polaroids and with silly Snapchat filters, and we couldn’t be happier about it.
11 Dating Each Other
If you are single and do not have a date, there is no reason not to bring your best friend along. That is exactly what Gigi and Kendall did when they made an appearance at Libertine nightclub for an exclusive after party after Drake’s performance in June 2015. The girls’ outfits were semi-matching, with each wearing a pair of black leggings, a knit top, pointed booties, and a statement jacket. Though the girls were seen chatting and partying with various people throughout the night, including Gigi’s then-boyfriend Joe Jonas and Kendall’s rumored love interest, Lewis Hamilton, they eventually left together, walking hand-in-hand. The girls totally proved they were best friend goals when they left the venue together, rather than with their significant others. You do not need a killer outfit (although it definitely helps) to look fierce at an event- all you need is your best friend! So what that they had both!
10 Stylish Sleepover
Even though they’re big-time celebrities, Gigi and Kendall still do a lot of the things normal friends do. With a twist, of course. In March of 2016, the duo threw a very stylish sleepover at The Plaza Hotel in New York. They created a video for Vogue.com that showed the two acting happy, carefree, and relaxed. Viewers were able to get a taste of what having a sleepover with these beauties would be like. Between dancing around in Chanel couture, joking and making funny faces for the camera, eating the yummiest food ever, and then collapsing on a massive bed, it sounds like it’d be pretty fun. This was a nice reminder that Gigi and Kendall just like any other BFFs and probably act goofy around each other all the time. While they may be serious models and huge celebrities, they’re also two young girls who love joking around and having a great time with each other. Their lives are totally like ours. Well, sort of...
9 Family Friends
Gigi and Kendall also love hanging out with the other important people in their lives, as shown in this picture where the models are posing alongside their sisters. Bella Hadid, Gigi’s younger sister, is on the far left, and Kylie Jenner, Kendall’s younger sister, is second farthest to the left. The photo looks like it was snapped at a casual event, given the girls’ choice of jeans and t-shirts. When you have a best friend, it’s important that you two can hang out alone and with other people. Once you’re close with someone, it’s like they become part of your family, so, of course, you want them to get along with all the other close people in your life. Gigi and Kendall have been hanging out with each other’s families for years (after all, both of their parents have known each other for a long time), which definitely helps keep their friendship so strong.
8 Birthday Wishes
It’s no surprise that Gigi and Kendall were right there to celebrate each other’s birthdays this year. The day before Kendall’s 21st birthday this past November, Gigi shared a sweet and simple message on Instagram, wishing her a happy early birthday. Later on, the model joined her best friend at Catch restaurant in Hollywood to begin the birthday weekend celebrations, with guests including all members of the Kardashian clan, Hailey Baldwin, and rapper Tyga. Back in April, Kendall was there clubbing with Gigi in Hollywood for Gigi's birthday. They say friends who celebrate together stay together, so this is just further proof of the love and support Gigi and Kendall have for each other. Whether in person or on social media, these two are always sharing how proud and happy they are for each other, making us even more envious of their incredible friendship. It's so sweet we can't even deal.
7 Cheer Squad
These two not only love and support each other, but they support their other friends too, and we think that is super awesome. This selfie was snapped at the Monaco Grand Prix in 2015 when they went to cheer on Lewis Hamilton, who was rumored to be romantically linked to Kendall at the time. Wearing matching baseball hats (obviously), the girls voiced their support for Lewis both on social media and from the stands (not only do they show love for each other, but they spread the love all around). Whether or not Lewis was Kendall’s beau or merely a friend at the time, it’s awesome that Gigi was right alongside her friend ready to yell in encouragement. Being supportive is the key to any great friendship, so it’s awesome that Gigi and Kendall not only are supportive of each other but also other important people in their lives. If that's not #friendshipgoals, then we don’t know what is.
6 Coachella Queens
Obviously, these two are icons at Coachella thanks to their enviable squad moments and gorgeous festival fashion. Here the two ladies were pictured enjoying the music, food, and ambiance of the huge music festival in 2015 alongside a group of their other friends. Looking like they are having the time of their life, we can’t imagine wanting to go to something like Coachella with anyone other than your best friend. While the ladies’ outfits were not completely matching, they shared the same flower child-inspired vibe, combining heavy costume jewelry with bohemian style clothing. Gigi and Kendall both wore their hair in loose flowing waves and each had huge smiles plastered on their faces for the entire event, as evidenced from all the awesome photos they posted to their Instagram feeds during the weekend. And you bet that the two of them looked so amazing! Not only ar you envious of their friendship but the way they rock any outfit as well!
5 Work Hard, Play Hard
Here’s another photo of the two girls from the first time they walked in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2015. The truth is that Gigi and Kendall often work together. They didn’t get to supermodel status by goofing around, so these ladies know they have to remain professional while at work, even if they are best friends. The closest friends know how to work productively together as well as have a good time, so Gigi and Kendall must have this friendship thing down to a T. It also must get very competitive working in the same industry, especially since these two have probably auditioned for the same job before. It’s important to never let competition or jealousy impact a friendship, even though it’s hard when you’re working in the same field. Let Gigi and Kendall be the inspiration for how you can work successful with your best friend, having a great time both on and off the job.
4 PDA
Gigi and Kendall have never been afraid to be affectionate with each other on the red carpet. This photo, along with many other equally adorable ones, was snapped at the Balmain x H&M launch several years ago. It shows the girls playfully puckering their lips and throwing their arms around each other, once again demonstrating their best friend status. Your best friend is that one person you’re never afraid to get goofy and silly with, even in public. You’re always down to snap selfies with silly faces or pose for photos while clinging onto each other playfully. Your best friend is the person you can always have fun with and be yourself with. We think Kendall and Gigi have found the perfect BFFs in one another and judging from this photo along with the rest of the pictures and examples on this list, we can tell that they think so too.
3 Shopping Buddies
Gigi and Kendall were the definition of #friendshipgoals when they stepped out in LA with matching shopping bags, matching ice cream cups, and matching outfits. Ugh, we just can't get enough of them #twinning all the time. Of course. We wouldn't expect anything less from these two fabulous friends. The two make a causal day of window-shopping look like a red carpet event in their perfectly coordinated, model-off-duty looks. This is the best inspiration to not wear sweatpants ever again. Both girls opted for cropped button-down, collared tops, though Gigi wore hers in black while Kendall went for white. They paired them with classic blue skinny jeans and matching black sunglasses. Of course, the girls finished their look by styling their hair exactly the same in mini topknots and by making a purchase at the same store. We need to grab our own BFF immediately for some retail therapy at the mall.
2 Hot Hosts
Not only do Gigi and Kendall often do modeling gigs together, but they also have done other jobs together in the past. Here the girls hosted a segment for the MTV Movie Video Awards together. Speaking in public can be terrifying, especially if you are doing it on national television, so we are sure the girls were glad to have each other during this special career moment. Though the girls’ outfits were not perfectly matching, they were both equally sexy and glamorous. Kendall wore a pair of statement heels from Dsquared2, while Gigi’s outfit was from Versace. But, the most important thing here is the level of support the girls had for each other. Throughout all the photos snapped from the event, Kendall and Gigi were at each other’s side having a good time, proving there is no one better than your BFF to go to a party with. Aww how sweet!
1 Together Wherever, Whenever
The most noticeable thing about Gigi and Kendall’s friendship is the fact that, no matter where one is, the other one isn’t far away. Whether they are tearing up a catwalk, making a VIP appearance, or merely hanging out, it’s clear that these girls love to do everything together. This photo was taken during a Paris Saint-Germain game when the girls showed their team pride in matching soccer jerseys. They also unsurprisingly coordinated the rest of their outfits by both opting for simple black leggings and high ponytails to hold back their hair. As per usual, they look like they are having the time of their lives enjoying the game with each other. It’s great when you have a BFF who you can and want to do everything with- that’ s a sign that the friendship was meant to last. These girls prove time and time again that they are supportive, caring, and thoughtful of each other, which of course are qualities that all strong friendships should have. Yup, these two are totally the ultimate #friendshipgoals.
