Having hopped from New York to London, followed hot on the heels by a trip to Milan, Gigi has been one of the stand-out stars of the 2016 Spring/Summer fashion events.
Only hours earlier, the striking model hit back at social media haters in an online rant as she defends her body type following some negative posts.
Taking to Instagram to air her views, she said: 'So many people are so quick to comment negative opinions this month.
'Yes, judgement on social media comes from people who, 99% of the time, have no idea what they're talking about, but I'm human, and I'm not going to lie, I did let the negativity get to me a little.

Look bold in mirrored shades like Gigi
We can't keep up! Gigi is doing the Fashion Week circuit and here she is in Paris looking as Parisian chic as she always does.
She's dressed appropriately for the eternally stylish city-- in all black with a pair of over sized Victoria Beckham mirrored sunnies. The real pièce de résistance, if you will.
These aviator frames were the celebrity eye wear of the summer. Just about every Kardashian wore them, not to mention, Gwyneth and Becks, herself.
Unfortunately, this ultra luxe, stylish accessory in silver is now sold out-- but click right to Barneys.com where you can buy a pair in gold.
We have to admit of course that it might be a little on the steep side for an accessory, which is why if you're struggling to justify them, check out these other slick mirrored pairs below.
Defending herself: Model Gigi hit back at social media haters in an online rant about her body type following some negative posts - pictured walking the runway for Hilfiger on September 14
'I came to a realisation that when one gets to this point, it's important to rethink why you're doing what you do. What your message is. What you have to say.'
She continues: 'No, I don't think I have the same body type as the other models in shows. No, I don't think I am the best at any given show. Yes, I want a unique walk but I also know I have to improve.
'No, I'm not the first or last model of my type in this industry. You can make up all the reasons you think I am where I am, but really, I'm a hard worker that's confident in myself, one that came at a time where the fashion industry was ready for a change.
Speaking out: The model has hit back in a carefully worded post on her social networking sites
While some fashion fans credited Gigi's appearance after her Hilfiger show, others were less than kind.
One wrote: 'Not the bum of a top model,' while another said: 'All other models on stage had better bodies than Gigi and her sister.'
A third wrote: 'How can you be that young, have so much fat and cellulite on your lower body when you're employed as a model?'
The girlfriend of Joe Jonas adds: 'I'm just doing my job. I represent a body image that wasn't accepted in high fashion before, and I'm very lucky to be supported by the designers, stylists, and editors that I am: ones that know this is fashion, this is art; it can never stay the same.
'It's 2015. But if you're not one of those people, don't take your anger out on me. Yes I have boobs, I have abs, I have a butt, I have thighs, but I'm not asking for special treatment.
Wow thing: The 20-year-old girlfriend of Joe Jonas is often pictured looking incredible in her beach wear
Out and about: The stunning blonde was later seen enjoying a late night outing in the French capital
Turning heads: She dressed her lean and slender frame in tight black trousers and a trendy leather jacket
'I'm fitting into the sample sizes. Your mean comments don't make me want to change my body, they don't make me want to say no to the designers that ask me to be in their shows, and they definitely don't change the designers opinions of me.
'If they want me in their shows, I'm in it; if they don't, I'm not. That's just how it is and how it will be. If you don't like it, don't follow me, don't watch me, cause I'm not going anywhere.'
Closing her statement, she said: 'If I didn't have the body I do, I wouldn't have the career I do. I love that I can be sexy. I'm proud of it.
'I've said it before... I hope everyone gets to a place in their life where they'd rather talk about the things that inspire them over the things that bring others down. At least be open if not part of the change, because it's undeniably happening. Happy PFW xx G.'
Kris Jenner, 59, spoke out in support of her daughter Kendall's friend, reposting the words to her own social networking pages.
She wrote: 'This is from one of the sweetest, smartest, and most beautiful girl inside and out, in the world.
'Why do people with no life, no purpose, who are angry and bitter and ignorant, or just plain nasty and mean, choose to bring everyone else down instead of finding the best in others?
'I will never understand the BULLYS that lurk on Instagram just to try and ruin someone else's spirit.

Model Tyra Banks also waded in, saying: 'I haven't met you yet @gigihadid but I FEEL you so much. Your words are powerful'
'If all of their horrible negative energy was focused on being positive and seeing good, imagine what a better more peaceful place this world would be.
'Spread love and joy everyone, not hate. It only reflects what kind of person you are. Something good might come of it...lift others up. Do unto others as you would like done to you....Love One Another. #Repost.'
Tyra Banks also waded in, saying: 'I haven't met you yet @gigihadid but I FEEL you so much. Your words are powerful. Your words are necessary. Your words are vulnerable. Your words are real. Sending you love and hugs. From one model that had curves and a unique walk to another, Tyra.'
