Bella
Hadid

She is the face the front row leans forward for. Younger of two model sisters, she turned up at Chanel Couture in early 2016 and built a category out of cheekbones and a downward gaze. The British Fashion Council named her Model of the Year in 2022.

She signed with IMG in 2014, debuted at New York Fashion Week the same year, and walked Chanel Couture in January 2016. That was the moment the industry started counting. Dior Beauty came in May, and the campaign work compounded. Calvin Klein in fall 2017 alongside Frank Ocean and Kate Moss. Versace, Saint Laurent, Givenchy, Marc Jacobs, the Vogue covers across the international editions. She co-founded the non-alcoholic Kin Euphorics line in 2018 and launched the fragrance house Orebella in 2024. Time named her one of its hundred most influential people in 2023. The runway count keeps moving.
