Gigi Hadid embraced Girl Power in a major way this week when she spoke out about competing with her BFF Kendall Jenner.

The besties have a lot in common – both come from reality TV families and are successful models – but Gigi has confirmed that the pair would never dream of letting work get in the way of their friendship.

In an interview with Harper’s Bazaar, the 20-year-old stunner explained that when it comes to modelling gigs, she and Kendall rarely come head-to-head because of their contrasting looks.

She revealed: “If they want Kendall, they’re not going to want someone who looks like me.

“It’s completely different. I think friendships are a lot more valuable than one job. If you’re going to let it ruin that, then that’s stupid.”

Both Kendall and Gigi were linked to Monaco star Lewis Hamilton recently, however Gigi has since been spotted getting up close and personal with Joe Jonas.

Speaking about how she stays grounded, Gigi revealed that her friends are very important to her.

She admitted: “My friends because they just make fun of me all day. That’s the best.

“When they come over while I’m getting ready for a red carpet event in my apartment, they’ll just be teasing me, like, ‘Oh you’re going to do a red carpet, are you?’ I love them.”
