Bella Hadid has been the epitome of the cool-girl aesthetic for many years now. Effortlessly chic is her middle name. Within the past year or so we've seen a radical transformation in her personal style. I've interpreted it as that she let go of the polished It-girl façade and leaned into her true self. Gone are her days of relying on a personal stylist to dress her for every single occasion—she now gets up for every day and wears what feels right for her. I'm so into that. Stars are just like us.
Well, 2022 is just getting started, but Bella is already on a roll. Look after look, she hasn't missed a beat delivering outfit inspiration that has me clicking "pin to Pinterest board" at every opportunity. It's my dream to nail that aesthetic so I did a little digging. If Bella were to have a capsule wardrobe, what would it include? My observations led me to deliver this well-researched report below so add a thing or two to your wardrobe if you're looking for that Bella Hadid look.
1. Bustier Tops
The corset top is a must if cool-girl style is your thing. The 2022 take on lingerie outside of the house is so chic.
Shop:
Dion Lee's corsets are no stranger to Bella's closet.
If you prefer a more feminine take, try this top.
Bella loves an edgy print.
Look! It's the most perfect bodysuit I've ever seen.
2. Ribbed Halter Tanks
I can't get enough of halter tanks, and neither can Bella or any other model off duty that I follow. They make for the most perfect layering essential and are a must when packing a suitcase.
Shop:
I can confirm that Bella owns this one.
H&M basics have a hold on me.
I love layering these under an off the shoulder sweater.
Buying this in every color.
3. Low-Rise Pants
This look is Y2K meets 2022 perfection. Bella always finds a way to bring colors together so effortlessly and the fact that the coffee in her hands matches the look is everything. Low-rise pants 100% have Bella's sign-off.
Shop:
If these pants don't enter my closet soon I'm throwing a fit.
Classy.
Another print I know Bella would go crazy for.
4. Leather Separates
Leather everything is having its moment right now. But mix and match as you please just like Bella would. Her affinity for oversize styles should guide your way.
Shop:
I have this jacket and love it.
Bella doesn't wear dresses often, but when she does, they look like this.
The only leather pants you need.
5. Micro Skirts
If you've looked at even one runway show from the current season, you most likely noticed a micro skirt or two. Bella is owning this trend as expected and making it look so good, pairing it with baby tees.
Shop:
I'd be surprised if this wasn't already in Bella's closet.
This is seconds away from selling out.
This is everything.
6. Cute Librarian
Sunglasses have usually been her thing, but lately, Bella has been morphing into the cute librarian or school-girl aesthetic by wearing optical lenses. It takes true confidence to pull off a style that is often known as nerdy.
Shop:
I've seen Bella wear tortoise lenses a few times.
They double as a WFH essential.
If you're going to pull off opticals you must fully commit.
7. Punchy Platforms
Platform party! No matter how tall of a supermodel she is, she'll still wear her highest heels. Just one thing I love about Bella Hadid and her crew. I'll also be embracing my height with a pair of platforms this year.
Shop:
Ariana Grande vibes.
The everyday version.
Bella loves these loafers.
8. Shoulder Bags
There's one bag silhouette that Bella Hadid is guaranteed to be seen wearing on a daily basis, and that is the shoulder bag. Hands-free, she parades throughout L.A., New York, and Europe with ease wearing this style.
Shop:
Such an effortless bag.
I've had a crush on this one for a while.
Bella is a confirmed fan of Staud.
9. Sporty Sneaks
To no one's surprise, Bella Hadid is a new balance girl. I love how her pink pair adds something special to her look. I'm going to need a few Bella-approved sneakers as well.
Shop:
There's no such thing as too many sneakers.
Bella approves of anything futuristic.
These sell out on the regular.
10. Vintage Esque Bomber Jackets
The return of bomber jackets happened slowly and then all at once. I'm certainly not mad about it. Bella Hadid always finds jackets that look like they came out of a thrift-store discount bin, and I am kinda into that.
Shop:
Size up to get the Bella look.
You can't go wrong with a varsity bomber.
All smiles.
So into this.
