Former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Hadid (formerly Yolanda Foster, ex-wife of David Foster) is the star of a new reality show, Making a Model with Yolanda Hadid. She’s not only the mother of three superstar models (Gigi, Bella and Anwar Hadid) but she herself was a professional model. The Dutch-American was discovered by Eileen Ford, who signed her at Ford Models.
[Yolanda and her model children write about Lyme Disease in Believe Me]
Yolanda still radiates beauty at the age of 53 and even after a long struggle with Lyme Disease. You don’t have to imagine what she looked like when she was Gigi or Bella’s age. Below are six photos of Yolanda at the peak of her modeling career. Note: She modeled for 15 years before she settled down and started a family with her first husband, father of her three children, Mohamed Hadid. Making a Model with Yolanda Hadid airs Thursdays at 9pm on Lifetime.
