Bella Hadid, although absent from fashion month due to her ongoing battle with Lyme disease, managed to captivate us with a remarkable style moment outside the runway.
In a recent slideshow shared on Friday, the model treated us to glimpses of her vacation, captioning it “August 2023.” Against the backdrop of a balcony overlooking the shimmering water at night, Bella posed gracefully, donning the most petite little black dress imaginable. The strapless micro-minidress boasted an ultra-short hemline and a unique oblong cutout that extended from the top of her ribcage down to her belly button. From the back, two straps were intricately tied together resembling a bandeau bikini top, while a large cutout revealed a significant portion of her back.
To complement her ensemble, she adorned her wrist with two vibrant orange beaded bracelets and opted for ankle-strap sandals.
Keeping her beauty look natural, she embraced wet, beachy waves that cascaded effortlessly to the side. Her skin glowed with radiance, and she opted for minimal makeup, allowing her natural features to shine.
In a rare update about her health last month, she shared with her 59.7 million followers the reason behind her prolonged absence from the spotlight. She revealed her ongoing treatment for Lyme disease and expressed gratitude for the perspective it has given her on life. Bella's 100+ days of treatment and 15 years of invisible suffering have been worthwhile, as she aspires to spread love from a place of fulfillment and authenticity. She assured her fans that she will return when she feels ready to do so.
