Young Yolanda Hadid's Best Modeling Moments

For the Hadids, modeling is a family affair.

Before her daughters Gigi and Bella reached their current supermodel status, Yolanda Hadid had her own foray in the fashion industry. Known now for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills—where we saw glimpses of Gigi and Bella's teen years among the cast's drama—and her reality competition show Making a Model with Yolanda Hadid, Hadid was once a top model in her own right, working internationally after she was discovered by Eileen Ford of Ford Models as a teen. To celebrate her birthday, L'OFFICIEL looks back at 15 of young Hadid's best moments in front of the lens.
