Bella Hadid gracefully sashays her way back into the heart of the fashion universe, marking her triumphant return to the catwalk after a two-year hiatus. The supermodel, who candidly shared her decision to take a step back from modeling, made a stunning comeback during Paris Fashion Week, gracing the runway for the first time since her sabbatical.
On September 24th, Bella stole the spotlight at the Saint Laurent Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 showcase, where she effortlessly strode down the runway, clad in an oversized black suit paired with a crisp white button-down and a dapper tie. Her ensemble was punctuated by sleek black-rimmed sunglasses and a chic bun, exuding an air of undeniable sophistication.
Prior to this Fashion Week appearance, Bella's last runway walk was in October 2022, where she graced a charity event hosted by Naomi Campbell and Qatar Creates in Doha, Qatar. On that occasion, the co-founder of Kin Euphorics turned heads with her dark, smoldering eye makeup, a form-hugging black dress, a sleek shrug, and elegant white heels.
Despite always putting her all into showcasing designer creations, Bella had previously confessed that modeling wasn't fulfilling her in the same way anymore. This imbalance, she revealed, was a pivotal factor in her decision to relocate to Texas and pursue other passions over the past two years. "After a decade of modeling," Bella shared with Allure in an interview published on April 30th, "I realized I was pouring so much energy, love, and effort into something that, ultimately, wasn't reciprocating in kind."
So, what did Bella indulge in during her hiatus from the glitz and glamour of high fashion? She embarked on a venture she's been deeply passionate about for years – launching her own fragrance line, Orebella. "Growing up in an Arab family, perfume and scents were almost like a defining characteristic," Bella reminisced. "I can vividly recall the distinct aroma of my grandparents as they entered a room. Even my uncle Mahmoud was crafting his own essential oils in the '70s, with their rich, woody, tobacco-infused scents." She concluded, "I couldn't keep this love for fragrances to myself any longer."
