“It was like watching myself from outside my body while strangers debated whether I deserved to exist. I felt prodded at. I wasn’t sure which people to trust with how I felt or who was just fishing for more gossip. The world weighed in on everything I was, everything I wasn’t, everything I looked like, everything I had ever been.” — Aydan Nix (toospoiled)

In May 2025, right after Aydan Nix's graduation from Parsons, the news broke worldwide that she was a Hadid. Now, the fashion student and stylist is sharing her story. At the link in bio, Nix writes about discovering the life-altering news two years ago — and what happened when the rest of the world found out. 

This story is part of #ItsBeenAYear, The Cut's end-of-year series where we asked women behind the headlines to share what 2025 taught them.
