Gigi Hadid goes incognito in baggy jumper as she steps out in NYC...after wishing BFF Kendall Jenner a happy birthday on the wrong date

Perhaps she was feeling a bit embarrassed after wishing her pal Kendall Jenner a happy birthday on the wrong day.

Gigi Hadid made the out of character choice of wrapping up her model figure in a baggy sweater just hours after the faux pas on Wednesday.

The 21-year-old was spotted in New York wearing a vintage blue MTV jumper that hung down to her thighs.

Wrong day, sorry Kendall! Gigi Hadid made the out of character choice of wrapping up her model figure in a baggy sweater just hours after the faux pas on Wednesday in New York

Rock some retro with Gigi's MTV x Marc Jacobs sweatshirt

Marc Jacobs has always had a taste for the kitsch so it was no surprise that he felt inspired by MTV's heyday and most iconic years for his 2017 Resort Collection.

This retro-inspired sweatshirt was only a piece to a collection that was entirely built around a decade that loved crimped hair, mixing prints and vibrant colors.

But we love how Gigi brought this look into the 21st century by pairing it with slender fitting jeans and sleek ankle boots as she arrived at the airport in comfortable yet fashionable style.

But of course, to look this effortless always costs the big bucks and her MTV sweatshirt doesn't come cheap with its hefty $1400 price tag.

But if you have a wad of cash burning a hole in your pocket then by all means, click right to snag one for yourself. Or feel inspired to get Gigi's throwback look for less with one of the alternatives we've rounded up below!

The picture she included was an adorable black and white image of the pair laughing gleefully together.

There was, however, a small problem with the post: Kendall will not, in fact, be turning 21 until Thursday.

'Happiest Birthday my Ken': On Wednesday morning, Gigi wished Kendall a happy birthday on Instagram despite the fact Kendall was turning 21 on Thursday

When Gigi initially uploaded the Instagram post, her caption suggested she thought Wednesday was Kendall's actual birthday, and wasn't simply wishing her early.

An emoji of a martini, symbolising her new ability to drink legally, was followed up by:  'Happiest birthday my Ken,' and then an emoji of a heart.

A flurry of Instagram users began commenting in multiple languages to tell the elder sister of Bella Hadid she'd got the wrong date.

As Wednesday wore on, she changed her caption to read: 'Happiest Birthday weekend my Ken,' flanked by the same emojis.

The picture Gigi used was taken this April, when she'd celebrated her own 21st birthday at a celebrity-strewn bash featuring such guests as Taylor Swift, Lily Aldridge, Ashlee Simpson, Lenny Kravitz and Jaden Smith.

Kendall wasn't the only member of the her family in attendance at that fête. Her younger sister Kylie Jenner, older half-sister Kourtney Kardashian and mother Kris Jenner had all strung along as well.
