Gigi Hadid has traded her familiar brows for a much bolder beauty look on the cover of the September 2026 issue of Vogue France. The supermodel appears almost browless in the striking cover image, pairing the change with a black lace gown, a bright red lip and eye-catching emerald jewellery.
The dramatic makeover has quickly caught attention because Hadid is known for her soft blonde hair and defined brows. This time, the model has let the beauty look take centre stage, showing how one small change can completely alter the way a face looks on camera.
Gigi Hadid Unveils Her Bleached Brow Transformation
Hadid's new look is hard to miss, with her eyebrows lightened until they almost disappear against her skin. The effect gives her face a fresh shape and puts more focus on her eyes, lips and sharp cheekbones.
For the cover, Hadid wears a long black lace Saint Laurent gown with matching slingback shoes. She finishes the look with Graff jewellery, including large emerald and diamond earrings that add a bright touch against the dark dress.
The styling keeps the rest of the beauty look simple enough for the brows to stand out. Her strong red lip brings colour to the face, while her sleek hair and dark gown create a polished Paris fashion look.
The Supermodel Has Tried Bleached Brows Before
This is not the first time Hadid has stepped out with almost invisible eyebrows. In February 2022, she and her sister Bella Hadid wore bleached brows while walking in the Versace autumn/winter 2022 show in Milan.
That runway look was much more intense, with both sisters wearing bold red outfits, smoky black eye makeup and very light brows. The sharp contrast made their eyes look even stronger and gave the sisters a very different appearance from their usual beauty styles.
Hadid also experimented with the look during Paris Fashion Week later that year. At a Givenchy show in October 2022, she appeared with brows that were close to the colour of her blonde hair, showing that the model has never been afraid to change her look for fashion.
A Black Lace Gown Makes the Beauty Look Even Bolder
The choice of clothing adds another layer to Hadid's makeover. The black lace Saint Laurent gown gives the cover a dark, elegant feel, while the bright red lip keeps the image from looking too plain.
The dress has also appeared in another major fashion moment this year. Zoë Kravitz wore the gown at the 2026 Met Gala, making Hadid's use of the same piece another point of interest for fashion fans.
Hadid's styling differs from Kravitz's earlier appearance, showing how much a single fashion piece can change when worn with a new beauty look. On Hadid, the disappearing brows, red lip, black lace and emerald jewellery work together to create a strong cover image.
The Vogue Cover Celebrates Fashion and Reinvention
The September 2026 issue is built around the idea of creativity, change and fashion's link with culture. Hadid's makeover fits that message because she is using her own face as part of the fashion story rather than simply relying on a new outfit.
Willy Vanderperre photographed the shoot in Paris, and Paul Sinclaire styled it. The beauty team included hairstylist Louis Ghewy, makeup artist Karin Westerlund and manicurist Laura Forget, bringing several creative roles together for the finished look.
The full September issue is set to reach newsstands and become available online on Wednesday, 26 August. For fans who have followed Hadid's style changes over the years, the cover offers another reminder that the supermodel can still surprise audiences with a simple but powerful beauty switch.
