Bella Hadid might not have participated in Paris Fashion Week, but that doesn’t mean she can’t steal a bit of the spotlight.
On September 29, Hadid shared her first Instagram post in over a month, posing beachside in a very little black dress. The 26-year-old model showed off her vacation-tanned skin as the strapless minidress featured not only an open back but also a large teardrop-shaped abs cutout, juxtaposing the sweet white flower embellishment on the bust. In keeping with the Y2K end-of-summer-camp dance vibes, Hadid went barefoot and kept her makeup natural and glowing with her hair down in beachy textured waves. She sported minimal jewelry: just a red and orange bracelet and what appeared to be a leather anklet. “August 2023,” she wrote in the caption.
Telling her fans not to “worry,” she continued, “I wouldn’t change anything for the world. If I had to go through all of this again, to get here, to this exact moment I’m in right now, with all of you, finally healthy, I would do it all again. It made me who I am today.”
After thanking her team, doctors, and fans for their support, she added, “I’ll be back when I’m ready.”
