She's Bella Hadid's big sister, Kendall Jenner's best friend and, seemingly, Zayn Malik's new girlfriend.

So Gigi fans were definitely listening when she got frank about family, friends and exes in a new interview with British Vogue for YouTube.

The 20-year-old was asked 'What Would Gigi Do?' as part of a string of questions that uncovered the model's dream dinner party scenario and naughty little sister Bella's bad wardrobe habits.

Fans of feisty females and winning sportsmen would no doubt love to take the seventh seat at Gigi's dinner party, after she revealed that it would include Beyonce, Serena Williams, Kendall, Lewis Hamilton and the late Johnny Strange.

On her private shindig, a costume party no less, Vogue's coverstar Gigi revealed: 'My friend Johnny Strange would be there.

'He was an extreme athlete. I always wanted him to meet my friend Lewis Hamilton, who is a race car driver, and they never got to meet, so I would have them at my dinner.' 

Three-time world record holding adventurer Johnny passed away in October at the age of 23, just after model Gigi forged a close bond with British Formula 1 star Lewis, who she's rumoured to have dated.

But guests wouldn't want to be late, because, on being asked how she'd react if a date was thirty minutes late for dinner, Gigi replied: 'You snooze you lose.'

'Loyalty sometimes bites you in the a**,' Gigi later told cameras candidly when she drew a heart, standing for her 'love and passion of things,' with an upside down 'L' inside when asked to describe herself without words. 

Gigi split from boyfriend Joe Jonas in November after five months and also suffered a break up in May with Cody Simpson, though she stepped out with former One Direction star Zayn last week as confirmation that the pair were dating.  

Loyalty, it seems, is also one of Gigi's strongest qualities when it comes to being a protective older sister to fellow model Bella, 19, the second daughter of Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Yolanda Foster. 

Gigi described a time when she was forced to confront a rogue photographer who was snapping the girls as they changed for a recent Paris show.

Victoria's Secret Angel Gigi did admit that she has to keep tabs on her sister when it comes to her own enviable wardrobe, joking that her whole life had revolved around retrieving her best possessions.

'We don't even live together and she still does it,' Gigi explained. 'She manages to be like, "I came here in gym clothes and now we're going to dinner..." I'm like, "Take whatever you want," but now I have a list on my phone.' 

As her modelling profile grows, Gigi has had to face her fair share of criticism.

When asked how she deals with people being rude about the way she looked, Gigi said she would ignore it. 

'Don't follow me if you don't like it,' Gigi warned. 'I'm not going anywhere, I'm not going to change what I look like because some troll is having a bad day.'

She continued: 'I'm pretty firm with bullies, I make them feel really sh***y about themselves but I also am nice, like what's going on in your life that makes you feel the need to do that?
