Hailey Baldwin Admits She's Felt 'Inferior' to Model Friends Like Kendall Jenner

It may be hard to believe, but even successful stars like Hailey Baldwin can feel insecure at times. The 22-year-old model recently admitted in an interview with Vogue Australia that she's felt the pressure hanging out with fellow models/BFFs Kendall Jenner, Gigi Hadid, and Bella Hadid.

As reported by People, Hailey opened up about the early days of her modeling career when she struggled with comparing herself to those around her. "My burn in the modelling industry has been slow and I’ve had to learn to be okay with that," she stated. "I’m shorter than most of the girls. Even though I’m five-foot-eight, I’m not a runway girl and I totally used to feel inferior to some of my friends. Look at Kendall [Jenner] and Bells [Bella Hadid] and Gigi [Hadid] … they’re all tall and doing every runway."

The wife of Justin Bieber also revealed that in the past, several industry professionals told her that she would not make it as a model. "For a while, there was a part of me that didn’t know if I could have the career I wanted if I couldn’t do runway. I had so many people, like casting directors, say: 'We don’t think she’s a real model,'" she recalled.

Hailey has certainly found a lot of success discovering her niche in a very commercial brand of modeling, and we're happy she's also found confidence in doing so!
