Inside Bella Hadid’s face and body transformation – see the model over the years
THANKS to her famous parents, Bella Hadid has been in the spotlight for over a decade now.
Going from daughter-of-stars to A-list model, the now 26-year-old’s changing appearance throughout her Hollywood tenure has been the source of much chatter.
2010
In 2010, Bella joined her reality TV star mother, Yolanda Hadid, and then-stepfather, music exec David Foster, on the red carpet.
Then only an early teen, Bella was sporting a very different nose than the one we know today.
She later admitted she had altered it with surgery, and wished she had never done so.
Speaking to Vogue in 2022, she said: “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors. I think I would have grown into it.”
2012
Bella’s mother, former model Yolanda Hadid, joined the cast of The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills in 2012, bringing her now-famous daughters into the spotlight for the first time.
With a new nose thanks to plastic surgery, she was starting to look slightly more like the model we know today – but still not quite.
2014
In 2014, the brunette beauty appeared at the Kids’ Choice Awards rocking a snake print jumpsuit that is very different from anything the fashionista would wear today.
Still not an established model, fans have since speculated that Bella has had a whole concoction of cosmetic work done.
But in the same Vogue chat, Bella denied it all.
She insisted: “People think I fully f**ked with my face because of one picture of me as a teenager looking puffy.
“I’m pretty sure you don’t look the same now as you did at 13, right?”
2016
After nearly a year of romance rumors, Bella and singer The Weeknd confirmed their relationship with their first red carpet debut – at The Grammy’s no less.
Already an A-lister, Bella’s style had evolved significantly since the young teen we first met, and her face, too, was brand new as she looked unrecognizable.
Although she unequivocally denies having any filler placed in her cheekbones, fans insisted they look more pronounced in photos – as well as her lips.
Bella told Vogue: “I have never used filler. Let’s just put an end to that. I have no issue with it, but it’s not for me.”
2017
At the 2017 Met, Bella stole the show in a form-fitting glittering cat suit by Alexander Wang.
The ensemble emphasized her now tall and slender physique, further solidifying her as a high fashion player and signaling a shift in her looks.
Ditching her usual slicked back long hair, she now rocked an edgy bob that framed her fierce face.
2018
In 2018, Bella was already a mainstay on the Victoria’s Secret runway, walking for the third time in a row.
She flaunted her toned abs and lean legs in her winged lingerie.
2019
At the 2019 MTV Music Video Awards, Bella looked more like her fellow supermodel sister Gigi thanks to her golden ‘do.
Her eyes and brows, too, looked significantly more pulled and lifted than they did in the past.
And though many speculate her now cat-eye face is the result of surgery, she attributes this change to a good ol’ beauty hack.
“Whoever thinks I’ve gotten my eyes lifted or whatever it’s called—it’s face tape! The oldest trick in the book,” she told Vogue in 2022.
2021
In 2021, the supermodel looked ultra-glam at the Cannes Film Festival in an elegant gown.
Now known for her winged features, the supermodel emphasized this with a slicked back bun and heavy makeup.
2023
Unlike in the past, when Bella was all over the news for being the new hot thing, this year she has kept it more low key.
She made an appearance in Las Vegas looking gaunter than in the past.
Her cheeks were sunken in and her facial structure more pronounced, with many speculating that she got the Hollywood favorite buccal fat removal surgery – though she never confirmed those rumors either.
