Bella Hadid

Bella is the younger sister of Gigi Hadid, and both are famous models. She began her modeling career at 16, was signed to IMG Models in August 2014, and made her New York Fashion Week debut the following month. She has achieved significant recognition, including being named Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 2022 and appearing on the cover of international Vogue 29 times. She also broke Doutzen Kroes's record for the most Vogue September covers in one year with five in 2017.

Before modeling, Bella had a passion for equestrian sports and aspired to compete in the 2016 Olympics, though she competed in equitation, which is not an Olympic discipline. After graduating from Malibu High School in 2014, she moved to New York City to study photography at Parsons School of Design but paused her studies to focus on modeling. She has expressed interest in returning to school for fashion photography and also has acting aspirations.

Her family includes her Dutch and Palestinian descent; her father, Mohamed Hadid, is a Palestinian real estate developer, and her mother, Yolanda, is a Dutch former model. She has a younger brother, Anwar, and two older paternal half-sisters. On Instagram, she has amassed 60.6 million followers. She is also a Victoria's Secret model.

Bella's career has been highly successful, making her one of the highest-paid models in the world, earning $19 million as of May 2024. She continues to be a prominent figure in fashion and social media.
