Bella Hadid, the renowned supermodel and Versace muse, is once again making headlines with her impeccable fashion sense and exciting collaborations. Just last Thursday, Hadid hosted an intimate cowgirl-themed dinner to celebrate her newest partnership with Frankies Bikinis, the trendy swimwear brand renowned for its stylish offerings.
The soirée was not only a launch party but also a snapshot of Hadid's enviable wardrobe. Donning one of the season's most talked-about trends, the 'no trousers' aesthetic, Bella sported a chic black knitted long-sleeve top with the word 'Lucky' stitched across the front. Her look was completed with matching micro mini shorts—again adorned with the cute cursive lettering on the back—sheer tights, and bold cowboy boots. The outfit flawlessly encapsulated the evening's theme and showcased her innate ability to blend comfort with high fashion.
Among her notable guests were friends Hailey Bieber and Devon Lee Carlson. Bieber opted for sophistication, wearing an elegant all-black combination—a plunging halter-neck crop top paired with a flowing skirt and leather coat. Meanwhile, Carlson turned heads with her stylish red and white gingham milkmaid top alongside low-rise skinny jeans, embodying the relaxed, yet chic vibe of the get-together.
The anticipation around the new collaboration is palpable. Set to launch online on March 14, the collection promises to deliver cowgirl-inspired swimwear and ready-to-wear pieces, expertly crafted with special fabrics and silhouettes. Francesca Aiello, founder of Frankies Bikinis, described the collaboration as both nostalgic and celebratory, stating, "From 15+ years of friendship to a collaborative collection, our founder Francesca Aiello describes this as a full circle, pinch-me moment. Filled with special fabrics and sweet silhouettes, you’re sure to find something to serve as a keepsake for years to come." This sweet sentiment perfectly captures the essence of the collaboration—the merging of friendship and fashion.
But Hadid wasn’t just turning heads at her dinner party; her recent outings have been eyewitness accounts of fashion statements worth discussing. Just last week, she embraced the bold and playful spirit of the 1980s by rocking polka-dot biker shorts. The following night, she took trip down memory lane, stepping out in an eye-catching oversized, off-the-shoulder tee emblazoned with the cover of the iconic En Vogue’s 1992 album, Funky Divas, all worn sans trousers... proving yet again, who said the pantless trend was dead?
Hadid paired her vintage tee with calf-high mahogany brown cowboy boots, cementing the cowgirl aura she’s so effortlessly able to capture. Completing her ensemble was the chic Balenciaga Le City bag—she was even the first to carry this brand-new item. A nod to glam-rock style, she accessorized with yellow-lensed pilot shades from Chanel’s fall 2024 collection, these finishing touches elevated her look, embodying the spirit of the 2000s.
With her eclectic style and creative collaborations, Bella Hadid continues to influence and inspire the fashion world. Her ability to weave together past trends with modern sensibilities makes her stand out not just as a model but as a fashion icon. Whether she’s tying together memories of 15 years of friendship through her new collection or embracing the romanticism of bygone eras, Hadid remains at the forefront of the industry, ensuring her fashion choices are both talked about and admired. The upcoming collaboration with Frankies Bikinis promises to be another bold chapter in her illustrious style legacy.
