She's a top model.

But Gigi Hadid proved she could do much more than captivate on the catwalk as she suited up in a Fendi bikini and climbed upon a matching jet-ski for the cover of V Magazine's Issue 114.

Sharing the cover on Instagram Thursday, the girlfriend of Zayn Malik added a quirky hashtag that said '#IDoMyOwnStunts' and a caption that read: 'There are no words to describe how much fun we had creating this entire story.'

In her Instagram caption the beauty also teased an interview with her 'amazing friend and powerhouse of a woman' Serena Williams.
