American fashion model Bella Hadid has always enjoyed her time in the limelight. Earning her fame by taking the fashion industry by storm, it can also be said that Bella was born into fame by being the younger sister of fashion model Gigi Hadid and the daughter of former model Yolanda Foster.

Partly due to her lineage and partly due to her obvious talent as a fashion model, Bella Hadid has fast become one of the most popular faces in the fashion circuit. And completely separate to her connections in the fashion world, Bella clearly has what it takes to display the finest creations of top-notch fashion designers.

According to the Daily Telegraph, Bella contributed her charisma and star power to the Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in Australia as she walked the runway for the Misha Collection’s Resort show.

Bella Hadid, accompanied by designer Michelle Aznavorian, stole the spotlight by dazzling in a blush-colored short, a strapless corset-styled mini dress, and a long fluid coat. Elle reported that apart from the ramp walk, Bella also participated in the Elle Mystery Box Challenge and went on to beat out reigning champion Heidi Klum.

Bella was impressed by the variety of the dresses available and confessed that she wanted to try every dress in the collection. In fact, she even went on to try various combinations like a cool evening dress complemented by a pair of tennis shoes. The fashion model seems motivated to work for upcoming fashion labels and designers who want to try out new ideas and outfits, rather than just playing it safe by modeling more obvious fashion choices.

Bella was also joined by her sister Gigi Hadid who wore a black lace skirt over a black strapless corset. The model was reportedly paid $200,000 for each of the 30-second walks at the show, with the fashion house also being responsible for funding Bella Hadid’s flights to and from Australia for the event as well as organizing and funding her outings, including to the iconic Bondi Icebergs and Watsons Bay Hotel.

Apart from having good genes, Bella Hadid also undoubtedly has a great sense of style, which has led her to be a firm modeling favorite of high-end fashion labels like Chanel, Givenchy, and Balmain. The model recently won Model of the Year at the Daily Front Row’s Fashion Awards in Los Angeles.

Her recent appearance at the 69th annual Cannes film festival left a stunning impression as Bella arrived in a gorgeous embroidered nude dress from Roberto Cavalli couture. The beautiful gown featured cut-outs and intricate gold lace and sequin details that became an instant hit on social media. The nude gown, complemented by a silver choker and a glitzy bracelet, made Bella Hadid look even more elegant and sensational than usual. Her long dark hair was styled into a simple ponytail while her famous features were highlighted with perfectly contoured cheeks and a glowing highlighter. She made a statement with a bright red lipstick while keeping her make-up look delicate yet glamorous.

According to Cosmopolitan, Bella was wearing one of the hottest nude gowns that people had ever seen, with some saying that she even looked hotter than Kim Kardashian in her latex outfit.

Bella Hadid carried herself in a gracious way, seemingly aware that sometimes less is more. Her gorgeous looks and the beautiful mix of modern glamor that she was wearing suited her slender figure beautifully.

Bella Hadid’s success can be attributed to her willingness to try risqué styles that could easily become a fashion faux pas. After all, not everyone can appear at ease while trying out various fashionable outfits like puffy sleeves and see-through dresses, but Bella Hadid either doesn’t have any specific fashion preferences or she doesn’t have any inhibitions when it comes to her career as a fashion model. It is most likely the latter, as Bella would certainly have her own fashion preferences when it comes to her everyday dress style, yet as a true professional, she is able to separate her work commitments from her personal life, knowing that she needs to follow the directions of the fashion labels she is working with.
