Bella Hadid walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show tonight. She wore two looks: a red lingerie set with a cape and a silver set with wings decorated with white flowers. The model made her Victoria’s Secret runway debut in 2016.
Bella Hadid made a surprise appearance at last year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and tonight the model returned to the runway. Bella walked in a stunning red look, which she paired with a lingerie set and a winged red cape. Her abs were also on prominent display.
Her second look was a silver lingerie set with wings decorated with giant white flowers.
She implicitly admitted to modeling when she was photographed arriving at the Steiner Studios show venue in New York City earlier today.
Bella’s older sister, Gigi, also walked in a pink cape and recently told Victoria’s Secret about how great it was to share this experience with her sister. Bella debuted in 2016, just one year after Gigi.
Gigi recalled, “When I looked at my sister, she looked like she was wearing angel wings, shiny and hot.” She added, “It’s part of making the dream come true with all the girls I get to work with, and only one of them is my sister. That’s the really weird part of the fever dream that is this show.”
This week has been a big one for Bella, and not just because of Victoria’s Secret. On Sunday, she shared a candid Instagram about her mental health journey for World Mental Health Day while defending UNICEF.
“What I have been living with for many years is a weight of anxiety and depression,” she wrote. “Sometimes I spend it all, numb and invisible to the outside world, crying before I start my day and wondering why my heart feels so heavy when life seems so bright around me.
“Mental health issues are often accompanied by a deep sense of shame. I sometimes think about how blessed life has been for me and how my body and mind are regularly filled with the weight of sadness, depression, and debilitating anxiety.
“Over the years, I’ve learned that this is not a weakness, but a part of me: my sensitivity, my awareness, my empathy. In many ways, it can be a superpower. It’s what makes us human, and these parts of me have helped me understand myself and others more deeply.”
“So are those of you who deal with this every day. Remember that you are not alone. And I love you so much.”
