Appearance & Style
Gia puts much effort into using her clothing to stand out from other students. Her creativity is nearly always reflected through her offbeat fashion choices. She likes colorful clothing, offset by punky and goth-inspired accessories. Gia enjoys shopping and making jewelry. She adores accessories, particularly colorful and patterned stockings, earrings, studded wristbands, and heavy, leather boots. Gia has also been known to wear "costume" accessories to school such as headbands with furry cat ears. She has a fondness for neon, plaid, and animal prints. Her long hair is rarely worn down, and is usually put up into buns or pigtails.

Gia was introduced in the series with a distinctive sense of style. At this time, her fashion choices were largely affected by her infatuation with gothic style. Gia gravitated towards mostly black and red clothing, studded jewelry, military jackets, heavy black boots, and dark eyeliner. Among her many mismatched accessories were her large Buddy Holly-style glasses, though these were soon replaced with more discrete, cat eye-style glasses. Her most unique feature was her hair, which was nearly always worn up in pigtails secured with hair chopsticks.

Gia's style began softening during the second half of season 11. Her newfound friendship and budding crush on Carly inspired her to dress in a more conventionally feminine way. While her love of quirky clothing and accessories remained intact, she started opting for clothing in brighter hues such as neon pink and purple. Gia's dark eyeliner was also replaced with more neutral shades of eyeshadow. In addition, she developed a fondness for cocktail-style dresses and high heels. She also abandoned her signature pigtails, wearing her hair up in single or double buns instead.

Gia has continued to move away from her dark, punk-inspired style in season 12 in favor of more glamorous clothing. Ironically, Fiona, now officially her girlfriend, has begun aping Gia's former style with studded denim and leather jackets.

Since ending her attraction to Carly, Gia seems to be regressing somewhat to her former cartoony and wild look. She appears to have become fond of patterned button-up shirts, as well as colorful shorts. Her clothing is not as carefully coordinated as it was when she was with Fiona. Indeed, her ensembles have become more distinct and daring, but still remain very feminine. Gia's small, cat-eye glasses have been replaced with large glasses with thick black frames, giving her a rather unusual appearance. She has also gone back to sporting a wider variety of hairstyles, often topped with quirky headbands. In addition to rediscovering her love of heavy black eyeliner, Gia has also developed a liking for lipstick.
