While out and about on the weekend of May 14, a certain beloved model proved that she's boyfriend Zayn Malik's biggest fan. How so? Well, Gigi Hadid wore a Zayn Malik-inspired T-shirt while out with friends, letting everyone around her know that she's got the number-one-fan spot locked and loaded.
According to Teen Vogue, "[On May 14], Hailey Baldwin shared a snap of Gigi in her 'lol ur not Zayn Malik' tee." Decked out in lace-up pants, a signature black choker, and a simple white tee with the words scrawled across the chest like a grammar-free text message, Hadid achieved two things at once: She reminded those in the vicinity where her loyalties lie (I wonder if she has his posters taped up on her bedroom wall?), and looked hella chic doing it.
But as Teen Vogue pointed out, the tee isn't necessarily original. The slogan shirt actually started out with another One Direction member who wasn't Malik. "We've all seen those 'lol ur not [hot guy's name]' shirts. It appears they started with Harry Styles, so it only makes sense for there to be a Zayn Malik iteration, and for Gigi Hadid to wear it." Regardless of the top's origins, it's definitely a great example of fun fandom wear.
If we think back, this isn't the first time Hadid and Malik made waves over their relationship through T-shirts. Back in Jan. 2015, the model shared a Facetime snapshot of herself on Twitter, but it wasn't her face that got all the attention. Instead, it was the shirt she was wearing — or, more specifically, the logo emblazoned on it. According to MTV, it featured "the logo for the Bradford City Bantams, aka Zayn’s fave team." Back then, their relationship was only rumored, so the stolen tee gave us some hope.
