Not wanting to stand out, the beauty picked out a black hoodie with gold lettering and a 'G' embossed on the front.

Her hair, parted sharply into a centre divide, was sleek about glossy about her shoulders as she relied on her natural beauty for a minimal image.

Gigi was noticeably happy and relaxed, allowing her stepped-up security to keep her safe in a large and unpredictable crowd.

It's been just over a month since Gigi was forcibly lifted by a serial prankster who attacked her outside a fashion show during Milan Fashion Week.

In the days that followed it was quickly revealed that Gigi would not fire her security team.

A source explained to TMZ that they thought the man was a pal at the time. 

Her bodyguards pulled her back from the man instead of chasing after him, causing many to feel they did more harm than good.

Afterwards, Gigi even joked that her boyfriend Zayn Malik's absence was her assailant's good fortune.

Speaking on Twitter, the blonde bombshell joked: 'That guy should prob take some time away from icing his jaw tonight to count his lucky stars that Z wasn't there.....' 

Showcasing her barbed sense of humour, the model followed the text with an emoji of a skull and then one of a coffin. 

Shocking footage surfaced of the attack outside the Max Mara show, which shows serial prankster Vitalii Sediuk grabbing her from behind and sweeping her off her feet.

But Gigi was kick on the defense and managed to catch the attacker with her elbow as she fought him off.

Her model sister Bella was also in the crowd and can be heard shouting at him to put her down. 

Gigi and Bella have been enjoying their stints in fashion shows around the globe as the latest styles from the SS17 lines are unveiled.

The shell-shocked beauty put on a feisty display as she turned around to elbow the trickster before trying to chase after him while she was restrained by her security.

Since the fracas she stated that had every right to defend herself after she furiously lashed out at Sediuk, while leaving the fashion show.

And after the incident, Gigi took to Twitter to defend her actions saying the prankster had no right to man handle her.

She wrote: 'I am a HUMAN BEING and had EVERY RIGHT to defend myself. How dare that idiot think he has a right to man handle a complete stranger. He ran quick tho...' (sic).
