It turns out Gigi Hadid and Princess Charlotte have something major - and a little unusual - in common - they both have a thing for unicorns.

We noticed just that when Gigi shared a sweet snap for Zayn Malik’s birthday that showed her wearing unicorn slippers as they struck a pose together arm in arm. 

“Team no sleep!,” the model mom captioned the photo. “Happiest birthday to our Zaddy baba. So special. Love you long time, thank you for makin me a mamma to the best girl ever. Wish you the best every single day.”

In the photo, Gigi rocks a pink Prada bucket hat with shearling trim, paired with a wool black duster coat tied at the waist, Burberry logo scarf and the unicorn slippers on her feet. Zayn also kept his look casual, opting for a cream beanie, paired with orange overalls over a sweatshirt. He skipped slippers and completed his look with Nike socks, and Nike Air Max 90 sneaker boots. 

We loved Gigi’s unicorn slippers so much that we tracked down a nearly identical pair on Amazon.

Prince William revealed Princess Charlotte’s love for unicorns during a visit to Harcombe House, Devon, last September to mark Emergency Services Day. As the Duke of Cambridge enjoyed an art therapy session at the center, he spotted a unicorn horn made from colorful balls in an artistic piece created by firefighter Dan Bills' three children.

"My daughter loves unicorns," he said, while admiring it. "Loves them. Very cool."

The little princess proved her love of the mythical creature last year when she was spotted jazzing up her Thomas's Battersea navy backpack with a sparkly, sequined unicorn keyring.

Kate Middleton was pictured carrying Charlotte's bag to school the week before Prince William’s unicorn admission, and as Kate swung the backpack around, eagle-eyed fans were able to grab a closer look at the shiny keyring.

Last summer, during the family's outing at the King Power Royal Charity Polo Day, Charlotte was spotted carrying a unicorn purse as well.  As far as we can tell, there were no unicorn decorations present as Gigi celebrated Zayn’s birthday with an arcade-themed celebration.

She did, however, give us another cozy inspo style moment - in black galaxy printed pants, a black tied-up top, and a black puffer coat, proving that whether she’s on the red carpet in a couture gown or kicking back in unicorn slippers, the model mom always makes a style statement.
