It’s reaching highs of 82 degrees in New York City today—a temperature that obviously calls for the start of sundress season.
Bella Hadid initiated the sartorial shift with her own dress, a romantic lacy look from Rokh’s Fall/Winter 2024 runway that might be more at home in sunny Portofino, Italy, than on the concrete-lined streets of Manhattan.
This vacation-inspiring ensemble features a strapless lace corset with a twisted bandeau bustline, seamlessly paired with a flowing asymmetrical skirt with diagonal tiers of variously sized ruffles.
The supermodel amplified the romantic appeal of the look with the rest of her outfit, which includes a large flower-shaped pendant chain necklace in gold, diamond-encrusted chunky rings from Maison H Jewels, and a pair of heeled white sandals with multiple buckled straps.
After a months-long absence from the scene, Hadid returned to New York City street style with gusto on Wednesday, when she delivered two major looks in under 24 hours.
The first outfit involved another romantic dress, this time a vintage ɴuᴅᴇ-toned slipdress from John Galliano’s Dior Spring 2004 collection. The piece included fluttery embellishments adorned to the bodice, as well as a feminine draped waist, a mesh overlay, and a fringe-lined hem. Later in the day, Hadid swapped the dress for an all-black Ferragamo look composed of a nylon jacket, skinny capris, and leather mules.
The model is in the midst of launching her first-ever collection with her new fragrance brand, Orebella. The line is a pᴀssion project five years in the making.
“If I were to put a product out and have people, you know, spend their money on something that I’m promoting, I want to make sure that it’s good for them, and that it makes them feel good and has a lot of different uses,” Hadid told Bazaar in a new interview about Orebella. “I want to make something that you could go into your bathroom and look at every day, knowing that you spent your money on something that makes you feel excited and good.”
