Gigi Hadid's spring style essentials

After a period away from the spotlight, the first in a modeling career she started when she was still a child, Gigi Hadid is back to be the it-girl we all love. In recent months, her cool and comfortable outfits, shown while strolling through New York City baby Khai, the daughter born last September from the love-story with Zayn Malik, have filled our Instagram feed, showing us how to be new mothers does not mean losing your sense of style. Gigi, who has turned from a blonde to a breathtaking redhead for Versace, loves to mix athleisure items such as joggers, leggings and cropped sweatshirts with more sophisticated ones such as tailored suits, cut-out dresses, trench coats or oversized shirts.

If her looks on the catwalk bring out her bombshell side and those as a mom combine functionality with a street twist, with the arrival of the warm season, the girlfriend's wardrobe reflects her sunny personality as a California girl. Among the signature styles that Gigi loves to wear in spring there are full-color looks, declined in a real rainbow of shades ranging from orange to light blue; high-waisted pants, often matched with crop tops and vintage t-shirts; tie-dye prints, which invade everything from jumpsuits to mini dresses; denim pieces in every shape and form. The must-have accessory? Sunglasses, a pair for every mood: with colored lenses, round, square, vintage, hyper-modern, designer, tiny Matrix-style or oversized like a true '60s diva.

To celebrate her birthday, here are Gigi Hadid's spring essentials to add to our midseason wardrobe.
