Before Yolanda Hadid was a mother and a reality star on "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills," she spent 15 years as a professional model working around the world. So when her daughters Gigi and Bella Hadid expressed an interest in modeling, she saw an opportunity to pass on her experience. "When my girls started, I sat them down and I said, 'Listen, there are a million girls out there who are as beautiful as you and deserve success as much as you do. You have to be the hardest working girl and show people you care about everybody,'" Yolanda told People, insisting that their personalities were the most important factor.

Yolanda wasn't afraid to compare her daughters and their modeling careers on the reality show, adding that sisters so close in age would always be competitive. "If they're looking for an all-American girl, they're not going to hire Bella," she bluntly told the cameras. "It's just a big competitive business. If it's meant for them, they're going to survive in it and they're going to be successful." 

Gigi also shared her mother's tough advice in an interview with W magazine. "I think my favorite thing that she says is, 'When you start working, you better be the most hardworking, nicest person in the room because if you're not, then there's always going to be someone prettier, nicer, and more hardworking,'" the model reminisced, commenting that those words always stuck with her.
