Bella Hadid's Style Evolution: From Runway to Streetwear

André Leon Talley

Former creative director and editor-at-large at Vogue, a towering and influential figure in fashion journalism.

Bella Hadid has been making waves at Milan Fashion Week, captivating audiences with her appearances on the runway and her latest design venture. Following a memorable showing at Prada's Fall 2026 collection, where she unveiled multiple looks culminating in a striking knickerbocker ensemble, Hadid shifted her focus to a new project: a collaboration with the iconic '90s denim brand, Miss Sixty. This launch event on the streets of Milan also debuted her refreshed hairstyle, featuring chic new bangs.

Marking a significant moment for her brand, Hadid appeared at the Miss Sixty flagship, greeting a crowd of admirers. She showcased a piece from her 35-item collection: an ice-blue denim set comprising bootleg jeans with a tailored, cinched-waist jacket, perfectly complemented by a white roll-neck sweater and Anonymous Copenhagen heels. Her look seamlessly blended a touch of Western flair with quintessential Y2K aesthetics. Accompanying her new fashion line was a notable change in her hair color, a deeper, golden shade that reflects a recent shift from her previous cooler blonde tones. Having been a natural blonde, Hadid had experimented with honeyed hues before transitioning to a vibrant 'supermodel blonde' for the Victoria's Secret show, a transformation crafted by her long-time colorist, Jacob Schwartz. This latest choice signals a return to a warmer palette, ideally suited for the upcoming spring season.

Hadid's new fringe, light and feathery, gracefully framed her face, embodying a retro-chic vibe reminiscent of the '70s, though distinct from Farrah Fawcett's iconic curtain bangs. Paired with soft, flowing waves that cascaded to her collarbones, the style exuded a lively and effortless charm. This isn't Hadid's first foray into bangs; she has previously sported a deep side-swept fringe with an early-aughts influence for Victoria's Secret and a bolder, straight-across cut. These continuous changes highlight Hadid's adventurous spirit and her willingness to experiment with her image.

Beyond her fashion endeavors, Hadid is also personally overseeing the Milan introduction of her fragrance line, Orebella. With Paris Fashion Week and an exclusive Saint Laurent appearance on the horizon, audiences can anticipate more captivating beauty and fashion statements from Bella Hadid, both on and off the catwalk. Her ability to consistently evolve her style and venture into new creative territories makes her a compelling figure in the fashion world, inspiring many to embrace change and express their individuality with confidence and grace.
