Despite walking down the red carpet of one of the biggest nights out of fashion, all Gigi Hadid could think of was her boyfriend, Bradley Cooper, and her daughter Khai.
On Monday, May 4, the Victoria’s Secret Model attended the Met Ball 2026, though she walked solo, her partner also joined her later during the night.
During Vogue‘s Livestream from the red carpet, she was spotted talking to Ashley Graham and Cara Delevingne and opened up about her “happy place,” which for her is the Maestro star and her daughter Khai, whom she welcomed with her ex boyfriend Zayn Malik.
Chatting on how she remains focused in the spotlight, Gigi shared, “I try to bring my mind to a happy place. What we do in our job is go to a happy place, think of happy thoughts and the smile comes through the eyes and it makes you come to life.”
And how she achieved that focus and safe space, the 31-year-old model shared by thinking of her daughter first and then her “man.”
She continued, “When I think about Khai, maybe I’m giving joy. And then I’ll serve something else to Bradley for the camera.”
Delevingne cut in and said to Bradley, “You’re a lucky man.”
It is pertinent to mention that Gigi’s 2026 Met Gala appearance marked her eleventh consecutive attendance since her debut in 2015.
