Gigi Hadid is Bringing Back Body Glitter

Gigi Hadid wears many fabulous hats: model, actress, Insta-celeb and bonafide beauty phenom. So when she arrived at a Guess event in Sydney, Australia rocking tangerine lips, smudgy cat eyes and a Bardot-ish ponytail, the supermodel was sparkling in the most literal sense: Gigi Hadid, beauty trendsetter, was covered in body glitter.

Remember when your beauty routine consisted of pampering yourself with Cucumber Melon spray from Bath & Body Works, and smothering your skin in body glitter? Well Gigi Hadid is getting in on that 90’s action.

There are some throwback makeup trends that fill us with nostalgic happiness—matte brown lips, side-flipped hair, full brows— but body glitter is not one of them. Is there a woman alive who did not drown herself in roll-on sparkles during the latter part of the nineties?

Even at the David Jones Spring launch, she body glittered it up yet again, forcing us to recognize this as a legitimate trend in the making.

Gigi looks beautiful—as she always does—but this may be a bridge too far. We love shimmery summer makeup, but this begs the question: was body glitter really THAT great a trend that we need to resurrect it? And more importantly, will you be showing your commitment to Sparkle Motion by embracing full-body bedazzling anytime soon?
