Bella Hadid’s Unexpected Fashion Playbook: From L.A. Grit to Championship Belt Swagger—What You Need to Know Now!
Ever wonder what it’s like when Bella Hadid just casually rolls into a party—and the whole room goes silent like the final buzzer’s about to drop? It’s almost like watching LeBron making a no-look pass—effortless, yet mesmerizing. But here’s the kicker: Bella’s not about putting on a show. Nope. She’s just vibing with her crew, laughing it up like it’s a laid-back night in LA, not some high-stakes event. Decked out in Revolve’s debut collection—think black lace tank, sharp leather jacket, and those signature Y2K heart-shaped vibes—she’s owning that Cali-meets-catwalk look without even breaking a sweat. After jet-setting through Milan and Paris, throwing fragrance bashes and flexing collabs, the city of angels feels like the epicenter of her style and soul. Curious about her fashion month insights, her fearless style shifts, and what partnering with Revolve truly means? Stick around—you’re about to get the full scoop. LEARN MORE
6 min readYou know when Bella Hadid enters a party. When the supermodel set foot in the Revolve Los Angeles launch party, for which she is the first brand ambassador, a hush settled over the room. But that sort of vibe is not her MO. Hadid jumped in with her posse of friends, publicists, and hair and makeup experts, giggling like it was an average night out with the girls. She joked with photographers as she posed on the step-and-repeat. Watching this routine fee kind of like seeing Lebron make a basket. From the Revolve’s debut in-house collection, she wore a black lace tank, capri pants, a sculpted leather jacket, and patent leather stilettos, a slick look she accessorized with her own silver necklace with a very Y2K heart-shaped pendant.
After the photos were taken (or at least the first stage of them), we were whisked into a private room off the party’s main dance floor to have a conversation. It’s quite bewitching to be in her presence, looking into eyes you’ve seen gazing up at you from a thousand magazine editorials and ad campaigns. But Hadid greeted me with a hug and plopped right down on the couch. It’s been a wild few weeks for the very in-demand supermodel. She walked for Prada in Milan, then Saint Laurent in Paris, somewhere in between hosting a party for her fragrance brand Orebella’s expansion into Europe in Paris and another for her own collaboration with Miss Sixty in Milan. But returning to California—of course, for another job—feels like coming home for the L.A. native. It’s the city that shaped her youth and her much-discussed fashion sense, after all.
Ahead, a conversation with Hadid about observations from fashion month, being unafraid to change up her style, and working with Revolve.
How was fashion month?
Fashion Month was amazing. It was a whirlwind. I don’t know how, for so many years, I did work and play because now it’s work, work, work—and sleep. And there’s no leeway anymore as you get older in the fashion industry. It’s all about being able to get the job done. I mean, even this party starting at eight is very much past my bedtime at this point. But I am so grateful for everything I was able to do, specifically this fashion month with Orebella and Miss Sixty and Prada and so on. And then now being able to have this Revolve launch, it’s really a blessing to me. Over the years, you always think that things are going to come and go and everyone’s disposable. I took a little bit of time off, so it’s so nice to know that everyone is so supportive of this journey for me. Being here now in LA and supporting a brand that is so much a part of my roots is really incredible.
Is there anything you saw in Milan or Paris that you can’t stop thinking about? It could be a trend, someone who looked incredible, a show, something you wore.
To be honest, it’s always when I’m on my way to work in the morning at 7:30 and I see a random Parisian woman walking down the street on her way to work with her red lipstick and her bag and her coat and she’s on a mission. In Milan, for some reason, you see so many children going to school in the morning with their parents. There are so many genuine, beautiful moments that I like to look back at. Just being able to see different parts of people’s lives while I’m going to work with my amazing agent and my best friend Yasmine. To be a fly on the wall of other people’s lives is interesting to me. It might be weird and voyeuristic.
It’s so interesting; there are so many different aesthetics and styles. People talk about a Parisian woman’s makeup or the way things differentiate throughout different countries or places. Not just the street style outside of the fashion show, because it’s so different. It’s what people actually wear to live their lives, having to run around. It’s not just like, “Oh, you’re going to be in an outfit for an hour and change and it’s uncomfortable.” I love seeing comfort and style in real life.
Does it feel like a breath of fresh hair to come back to LA after all of that?
Absolutely. My best friends are all here. My little brother and my dad and my sisters. I know this place like the back of my hand. I grew up here, so it’s just nice to be able to have my favorite spots I go to. I have my specific coffee I like in the morning. It feels very homey.
How has growing up here shaped your style? What were the most LA things you were wearing as a teenager or a tween?
My best friend Yasmine and I would go to the Rose Bowl on Sundays. We would start driving at 4:00 AM. She has a picture of me literally with a pillow, my hair’s in a little top bun, my pajamas still on, in her apartment complex that we grew up in in Malibu. It’s really fun to be able to look back at my style then and know that I stayed pretty true to it. I remember one of my favorite pieces was a Betsy Johnson little brown plaid mini skirt with a zipper that had lace poking through. And I remember I got it for super cheap and I was so excited about it. I didn’t even know at that point how obsessed I would be with style, but that’s where my love for Vivienne [Westwood] came from. And also where my love for finding things that were one of a kind, but also on the less expensive side.
Were you cultivating future shopping habits?
I could use a lot of my girl-math to find pieces that were the same amount of money as a purse that maybe another girl was buying. I think that I still do that same thing. The girl-math happens in my head when I online shop. I’ll be like, “I put all that together and I got 60 items for the same amount that my girlfriend went and bought a coat and a purse.” Obviously, it’s extremely great logic, and I stand by it.
Has living in Texas and the lifestyle there rubbed off on you at all? Have you learned about new ways of getting dressed?
I wear my jeans, my boots and my spurs, my belt buckle and a t-shirt every day. Would anyone know that it might have been, I don’t know, a Tom Ford for Gucci tank top underneath my plaid shirt? Probably not. I’ve always had the same style when it comes to jeans and a t-shirt and a good belt. I’ve got a pretty good group of belt buckles that I’ve won at this point that are really fun to wear. I went to lunch with Devon a couple months ago in Venice. I had my low rise jeans on with my “Rookie of the Year” belt buckle on and she laughed at me. It’s funny because in Texas, it’s all I wear. I really don’t leave the house without my buckle on and without my boots and spurs. Here, it’s the opposite. But I feel almost naked without them.
I adapt to whatever environment I’m in. We’re all so multifaceted as human beings and we can really change it up whenever we want. I think people can judge you for changing up your style in different years, but I have a different feeling every morning when I wake up.
Why did you decide to partner with Revolve? Why does it feel so special now, especially with the LA tie?
I think for a company like Revolve, who has made so many opportunities for so many brands and so many companies, to be able to have their own namesake brand is such an important thing. Anyone who wants to find something that feels good to them, true to them, comfortable for them, can. These pieces might be a little revealing, they might be very sexy, but I think that someone can find something, whether it’s this leather jacket or the capris I’m wearing. I’m proud of them. I’m happy and very proud to be a part of this project.
