In a collision of celebrity tabloid stars and criminal justice that could only happen in the Big Apple, supermodel Gigi Hadid strolled into a Manhattan courtroom Monday to be considered as a juror in the sex-assault case of fallen film mogul Harvey Weinstein.

The famous cat-walker, wearing an oversize men’s blazer over a white shirt, sauntered into the jury pool with 119 other prospective citizens of Manhattan on the fifth day of jury selection.

Justice James Burke asked her and the other potential jurors, “Anyone believe you know me, the defendant or anyone of the lawyers?”

Hadid raised her hand.

After the judge called on her, she stood up in the jury box and identified herself as Jelena Hadid, her real first name.

“I have met the defendant,” she said.

With Weinstein looking on from the defense table, Burke asked the supermodel, “Do you think you can be a fair and impartial juror in this case?”

“Yes,” replied Hadid, who was recently spotted out in New York with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, formerly of One Direction fame.

The judge then read a list of more than 80 names of potential witnesses and people who may be referenced during testimony, including actresses Salma Hayek, Charlize Theron and Rosie Perez and Ryan Beatty.

He asked the prospective panelists whether anyone knows them.

Hadid again raised her hand.

“I have met Salma Hayek and possibly Ryan Beatty,” she said.

The judge questioned whether there was anything about having met them that would interfere with her ability to be fair in the case.

“I think I’m still able to keep an open mind on the facts,” Hadid replied soberly.

After dozens of jurors were dismissed, Hadid remained behind to fill out a questionnaire.

She was ordered to return next week to join other pre-screened panelists, from which 12 jurors and six alternates will be selected.

But before letting the potential pool go, the judge addressed the fact that two prospective jurors were previously caught discussing the case on social media.

One of them was someone who tweeted that he was eager to secure a seat on the panel to promote his novel.

The offenders “may be held in contempt of court and are subject and face serious consequences up to and including 30 days in jail and a significant fine, so don’t do that,’’ Burke warned the prospective pool Monday.

At least some of the potential jurors chuckled.

Weinstein is charged with two counts of predatory sex assault, two counts of rape and one count of criminal sex act stemming from the allegations of three women.

Openings in the trial are slated to begin Jan. 22.

If convicted, the former Hollywood producer — who now limps back and forth to court with a walker — faces up to life in prison.
