Giselle Loren "Gigi" Lazzarato, known professionally as Gigi Gorgeous, is a multifaceted Canadian talent born on April twentieth, nineteen ninety-two. She has made a name for herself as a YouTuber, socialite, actress, model, and make-up artist, while also being a prominent LGBTQ rights activist and television producer.
Gigi's journey began in two thousand eight when she started uploading video blogs to YouTube, quickly garnering a dedicated following. Her engaging content led to the creation of the reality series The Avenue, which aired from two thousand eleven to two thousand thirteen. In two thousand thirteen, Gigi made headlines when she came out as a transgender woman, subsequently adopting the name Gigi Gorgeous.
In two thousand fourteen, she took her audience on a personal journey through her gender transition, sharing her experiences with cosmetic procedures via social media. This openness resonated widely, leading to viral content and significant media attention, particularly after a deportation incident in two thousand sixteen due to her transgender status.
Gigi's life and transition were further explored in the documentary This is Everything: Gigi Gorgeous, directed by Barbara Kopple, which premiered at the Sundance Film Festival in two thousand seventeen. Beyond her online presence, Gigi has also ventured into acting and modeling, appearing in Shane Dawson's short film I Hate Myselfie and various television series.
Her modeling work includes features in notable publications such as Paper and Fashion, and she has collaborated with brands like August Getty Atelier. In two thousand nineteen, Gigi authored the book He Said, She Said: Lessons, Stories, and Mistakes From My Transgender Journey, solidifying her role as an influential voice in the LGBTQ community.
