Gigi Hadid dons knit ensemble for NYC stroll with daughter Khai… and debuts new nameplate earring

New mother Gigi Hadid took a stroll with her six-month-old daughter Khai through Le Village de Lafayette in Manhattan’s NoHo neighborhood on Monday.

The IMG Model – turning 26 next month – looked cozy in a grey-knit button-up collared top, matching pants, and black booties for her outing.

Gigi scraped her newly-red locks into a messy ponytail and she shielded her green eyes with dark aviator sunglasses.

Hadid – who boasts 80.2M social media followers – was debuting a new nameplate earring on her left ear in honor of little Khai.

The half-Jordanian, half-Dutch American has also been rocking a $68 The Sis Kiss gold chain-link necklace spelling out her precious princess’ name.

Meaning ‘crown’ in Arabic, Khai’s moniker is a tribute to Gigi’s late grandmother Khairiah.

Hadid and her blonde gal pal both made sure to protect themselves and others from the coronavirus by wearing face masks.

The Malibu-born socialite welcomed Khai following a 14-hour natural water birth at the Pennsylvania farmhouse her babydaddy Zayn Malik purchased back in 2017.

Gigi (born Jelena) and the 28-year-old To Begin Again singer have chosen not to hire a nanny to help care for their first child.

‘Honestly, she’s an amazing baby,’ Zayn (born Zain) gushed on the March 17 episode of iHeartRadio’s Valentine in the Morning.

‘It’s been really easy for me and Gig to kind of just ease into it. She kind of made it easy for us, she sleeps really well, she loves her milk. It’s just feeding and changing diapers at the moment. It’s wicked. I’m enjoying it, for sure.’

Malik added: ‘A lot of people that I was speaking to, obviously, before she was born and stuff were like, “It’s a big adjustment, and it’s going to be a massive change and stuff.”‘

Hadid famously met the half-Pakistani Englishman in late 2015 and split in November 2018 before rekindling their on/off romance in December 2019.

Zayn – a former 1D boybander – was last seen appearing in a Super Bowl commercial for Coors Seltzer.

Meanwhile, the New School drop-out made her triumphant return to the runway for Versace’s FW/21 presentation during Milan Fashion Week on March 5.

‘Opening and closing @versace is always an honor and was the best “comeback,”‘ Gigi wrote at the time.

‘Mostly just lucky to be healthy, working, and in a safe/tested environment to hug so many I’ve missed like family this past year. Thank you to everyone who made this possible, especially my Italian Taurus queen @donatella_versace always and forever!’
