We were convinced that Bella Hadid couldn’t top her Coperni spray-on-dress-runway-moment but she's been trying her very best.
Just last week, at Paris Fashion Week, she walked Thom Browne’s spring-summer 2023 fashion show in what has to be the lowest-rise miniskirt the world has ever seen paired with an extremely visible thong — all over a red-shirred bodysuit. And now she's back at it in an incredible black sheer lace midi dress to celebrate her 26th birthday.
The model arrived at her surprise birthday party in New York in this epic sheer dress with her underwear flashing through. She offset the head-turning look with a vintage black leather biker jacket, vertiginous black stilettos, shades and an Amina Muaddi bag emblazoned with “Ciao Bella.“
When done right (see below), 'nearly-naked' looks strike that hard-to-reach sweet spot between being sartorially sensual and super chic without even a hint of awkwardness or discomfort for either the wearer or the observer. Job done, Bella.
After her recent outings, it's become apparent that the supermodel can pretty much rock anything. Whether it be a blunt buzz cut, TikTok's "dark academia" trend or avant-garde runway looks, she is the undisputed style chameleon. Yes, sure, as one of the most recognisable women in the world, she has the best access to little-known brands and high-end designer ensembles, but she very rarely places a fashion foot wrong and she's spearheaded the Y2K fashion trend that everyone on TikTok has been jumping on.
Outside of what stylists and designers dress her in, Bella Hadid channels a very laid-back approach when she's dressing herself. Her wardrobe staples are v 90s-influenced with touches of Y2K throughout - i.e. actually quite attainable to everyone else. Hallelujah!
In fact, what she wears is so popular that she actually has a fan-based Instagram account dedicated solely to her style (which we may or may not follow avidly).
Of course, Bella's true show-stopping moment occurred on September 30. The model closed the Coperni spring-summer 2023 in nothing but a pair of high-cut panties. In front of a room full of fashion editors, buyers, and influencers, Hadid was sprayed down with Fabrican, a groundbreaking non-woven synthetic fibre material that can be applied via an aerosol can or spray gun device.
Right before their very eyes, Hadid went from nearly naked to walking the rest of the runway in a body-hugging white dress, instantly customised with off-the-shoulder straps and a thigh-high slit.
It was fashion magic.
