As per reports, thanks to Gigi Hadid, Nanga Awasum is now in talks with many modelling projects 'including a job with Maybelline and a brand ambassador partnership with Nasty Gal,'
Gigi Hadid recently proved she is a pure soul. The fashionista, who walks for multi-million brands, recently gushed over a (stranger) New York model's outfit and changed her life.
Hadid, who was just driving out on the city streets spotted model Nanga Awasum, who was just walking down NYC streets. Taking a quick snap of her, Hadid introduced her sense of style to her 95 million followers on Instagram.
Praising the stylish outfit, Hadid wrote, “Shoutout to my NYC inspiration of the day : this queen." The photo captures a woman from behind. Further, she explained how she was drooling over a stranger's outfit, ''Was too (following drool emoji) to get a pic of the front, but she was major.''
After the world was struggling to know who the queen is, Nanga was busy in her life and was shopping at Zara when two girls walked up to her. Knowing that she was on Gigi's Instagram, Nanga then took to Twitter to respond with a pic of the front and told that her life would have changed if she faced the right side. “It’s the way @GiGiHadid would have changed my entire life if I was only facing the right way,” she wrote.

"I've been told I was ugly, I've been turned down by so many agencies, I've been turned down by so many jobs and just to have someone like her see me and tell me that I was pretty and tell me I was major, it changed the trajectory of my month," she told E! News.
Nanga continued, "After this, anything can happen. I have full faith that my life could actually work out and my career could actually go somewhere. That's really, really made me so happy."
As per reports, after Gigi's kind words, many agencies contacted her and she is in talks with many modelling projects 'including a job with Maybelline and a brand ambassador partnership with Nasty Gal'.
The outfit that caught Gigi's attention was a beige colour long-sleeved top tied at the waist, with pocket-less high waist denim jeans and a blue saddle bag.
