Once known as the less popular sister of Gigi Hadid, Bella Hadid has taken the modeling world by storm. After her iconic spray-on dress moment at the Coperni Fashion Show and doing 11 runways in 9 days, Bella Hadid has been donned the well deserved supermodel status.
Bella Hadid’s role in the spotlight began in her early teen years, starring alongside her mother and sister in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Modeling was no foreign concept to Bella and her family, as her mother, Yolanda, was discovered by Ford Models at age 16. Bella also began her modeling journey at age 16, walking in New York Fashion Week for designer Desigual in 2014. After this debut in the Autumn/Fall season, Bella’s modeling career began to gain traction as she booked shows walking for designers Diane Von Furstenberg, Marc Jacobs, Jeremy Scott, and Tommy Hilfiger. Bella began crossing the bridge into supermodel status when she walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in November 2016, a show infamous for creating modeling superstars Candice Swanepoel, Gisele Bundchen, and Heidi Klum. Fast forward to today, Bella’s won Model of the Year Twice, serves as a Dior brand ambassador, boasts multiple Vogue covers, and has walked over 50 runway shows in her career.
Through an overview of her career accomplishments, it’s no surprise Bella claims such a dominant stake in the fashion world. But what sets Bella apart from every other well-decorated model and nepotism it-girl?
For starters, her iconic fashion sense that everyone from celebrities to college girls are looking to copy. Whether it’s a motorcycle jacket with men’s boxers or a hoodie with platform uggs, Bella’s curated a style entirely her own that everyone wants to emulate. Her acute sense of style and influence in fashion culture has every top fashion designer dying to have them work with her brand. Designers recognize the exposure and popularity their brands can gain from Bella walking in one of their shows or starring in a campaign for them.
Another contributor to Bella’s newfound supermodel status is her recent iconic fashion moment, one every supermodel has some form of. This year in the Coperni Fashion Show, Bella closed the show with a moment the fashion world will never forget. For 9 minutes, Bella stood nearly nude while a white off-the-shoulder dress was sprayed on her. The substance used was a new fabric called Fabrican that appeared like spider webs at first, then dried into an elastic, flowy substance. The moment was the talk of every fashion publication and went viral on Tik Tok, clearly demonstrating the effect Bella and this iconic fashion moment has done in fashion history.
Before the rise of Bella, many wondered if the iconic supermodels from the 90s were a thing of the past. Bella Hadid’s rise to fame in the fashion world is living proof they do, in fact, still make them like that. What’s next for fashion’s it girl? Co-owning a non-alcoholic drink brand. Bella recently became co-founder and owner of the non-alcoholic spirit Kin Euphorics. Bella’s previously spoken to the media about her decision to go sober after speaking on the harmful effects she noticed alcohol and other substances taking on her body. Upon meeting her business partner Jen Batchelor and reading up on the positive, adaptogenic effects the drink provides for the mind and body, Hadid was all in. The supermodel is frequently seen with her drinks on nights out when her model counterparts enjoy their respective alcoholic beverages. As a supermodel, fashion icon, and now business mogul, there’s no telling Bella Hadid’s next move, But one thing for sure is her and her impacts are here to stay.
