From sound engineers and screenwriters to celebrity makeup artists and stylists, Variety’s series “Ask an Insider” asks top professionals within the entertainment industry to share their must-have essentials, for work…and for play.

In this installment model Gigi Hadid, who recently made her television debut as a co-host of “Next in Fashion” alongside Tan France, shares her dinner party essentials ahead of summer.

Amidst Gigi Hadid’s fittings and runway shows and photo shoots — a crammed schedule that recently became even more unremitting after she made her television debut as the new co-host of Prime Video’s “Next in Fashion” alongside Tan France — the A-list supermodel still finds the time catch up with friends and family over dinner. “Especially during Fashion Month, everyone has a completely different schedule during the day so even if you’re best friends with them, it can be hard to find a time to see each other,” Hadid tells Variety over a Zoom call in Los Angeles. “Even my sister [the younger Hadid model, Bella] and I might have one show together a day but from morning to night, we’re on completely different maps around the city.” In order to maintain her friendships, without overwhelming herself with dozens of individual plans, Hadid says she tries to book a huge reservation at a central restaurant in the city and let everyone in her far-reaching (and often star-studded) social circle know that they can stop by at any point.
