Selena Gomez can't contain her admiration for her fellow beauty. Almost a decade after fueling feud rumors with Bella Hadid as the Rare Beauty founder, she proves her unwavering support for the supermodel from the sidelines. As Bella stunned in an all-red ensemble at the 2025 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show on October 15, Selena couldn't help but gush over her strut on social media. Indeed, she commented under Harper's Bazaar's Instagram clip, "She is [fire emoji]."
Bella returned to the VS runway for the fifth time, dazzling in a red hot bra and lacy panties, along with a matching garter and sheer tights. She completed her look with a billowing train and a very blonde bombshell blowout. The 29-year-old wasn't done for the evening as she walked again, this time in a shimmering silver bra and panty set with the signature angel wings.
While it's clear that the model slayed onstage, Selena's sweet message was a surprise given the pair's respective romances with ex The Weeknd seemingly created a less-than-ideal dynamic in 2017. Bella unfollowed Selena after the latter was seen kissing the Weeknd following his breakup with the model. (Bella and the Weeknd ultimately rekindled their romance in 2018 before breaking up for good a year later.) Selena, who dated the "Blinding Lights" singer for 10 months, then unfollowed his ex. When the "Good For You" singer split from The Weeknd, she refollowed Bella and commented "Stunning" under one of her photos. Eventually, Bella refollowed the Only Murders in the Building actress in 2020 before unfollowing her again.
Despite the eye-raising exchange, Selena—who recently married Benny Blanco—has made it clear that she only has love for her ex-boyfriend's ex-girlfriend. The 33-year-old posted a February 2023 TikTok Story using Bella's viral audio, in which she said, "So my name... my name is Bella Hadid." As Selena lip-synced the sound, she wrote on the screen, "I wish I was as pretty as Bella Hadid." "Instead, this is me," she playfully teased in another post. "My name is Selena Gomez. See, it doesn't even sound sexy." Meanwhile, in an additional post on her Instagram Story, she shared a snap of Bella and wrote, "#girlcrush."
