Glam girl: On Friday, Gigi Hadid posted her cover photo from Vogue Brasil to Instagram

Her hair cascading sideways in thick, gold-hued waves, the close-up photo featured one large, gleaming earring.

Gigi’s skin, lipstick, and top – the only item of clothing visible in the picture – all stuck to the golden theme of the cover.

Other than to name the photographer as Henrique Gendre, Gigi did not bother with much of a caption.
