INSPO: THE HAIR-VOLUTION OF BELLA HADID

She’s one of the fashion world’s hottest commodities, having graced countless covers, campaigns and catwalks alike. A style chameleon in her own right, this pale-eyed beauty is no stranger to a colour change (or multiple), gliding effortlessly between statement hues and hair lengths like a seasoned profesh (cue the glam squad!). Whether she’s gracing the red carpet with a sleek and stylish top-knot, or sauntering down the Victoria’s Secret runway with long, tousled waves, fans the world over are sure to soon follow… us included. Here, we trace the epic hair-volution of Ms Bella Hadid.

Fresh faced and (relatively) bushy browed, the striking beauty burst onto the scene with mid-length raven hair; a clear departure from her sister’s California-blonde look.

As her profile rises, so too do the style stakes. In what would become her signature ‘do, Bella’s features shone in this sleek, super-snatched top-knot.

Proving she can also rock bangs (no surprises there), Bella channelled her inner harajuku-girl for the 2016 Dior ‘Art of Colour’ launch in New York City.

Making her Victoria’s Secret debut in 2017, Bella unarguably ruled the runway… this time sporting tousled, Bardot-esque lengths. As you do.

Putting her own stamp on off-duty chic, here Bella embraces a natural, curly texture, pinning front sections away from her face for maximum impact.

Clearly she Cannes do no wrong (too much?). At last year’s Cannes Film Festival, Bella revealed a string of captivating hair looks, from elegant up-do’s through to this pin-straight look.

Long and oh so luscious. For a 2019 Dior Campaign shoot, Bella called upon celebrity hairstylist Jen Atkin for this Rapunzel-esque ‘do. Extensions really are a girl’s best friend. No?

Going back to her natural roots, Bella showcased this sun-kissed, bronde – or ‘dirty blonde’ as she described it’ – look this March via Instagram, crediting photographer Mert Alas as her motivating force.

Proving her versatility once again, Bella wore this cropped wig to the 2019 Met Gala, channeling iconic supermodel Linda Evangelista. The woman behind the temp-transformation? You guessed it, Jen Atkin.

After teasing fans with hints of her new colour, Bella debuted her lightest locks yet, sharing this snap to instagram one August evening. The look? A beautiful, buttery blonde.

Looking more sisterly than ever, Bella and Gigi turned heads at this year’s MTV Video Music Awards’ red carpet… both blonde, beautiful and ready for photo ops. Case in point.

Hinting her new hue might be here to stay (at least for the time being) Bella hit the international runway circuit, most recently sporting this cropped look for Etro’s SS20 showcase.

For anyone needing additional proof of Bella’s (natural) blonde status… the younger Hadid sis shared this adorable throwback snap to her 26 million instagram followers. Talk about a glow up.
