Whether it’s on the runway, red carpet or running errands, Bella Hadid knows how to dress, and here are our favourite low-key looks from this model ahead of her birthday

Whenever you’re stuck on how to style an outfit, sometimes it’s helpful to think: What would Bella Hadid wear? 

This model is a major source of fashion inspiration, not only because of her standout red carpet looks (think the 2024 Cannes Film Festival), bold runway looks (walking for Saint Laurent at Paris Fashion Week this month) and chic campaign styling for her perfume label Orabella (which launched in February)—but also thanks to certain fashion formulas that always work. 

Hadid’s style right now takes inspiration from cowboy core with a sprinkling of 2000s elements; this is thanks to blending vintage items with modern pieces, incorporating casual styles with high fashion and mixing silhouettes for maximum visual interest. This results in a cool look that everyone can adapt and tweak with styling details that suit them best.

To celebrate her birthday, we look back at some of Hadid’s top looks when she’s out and about.
