Back in 2017, Bella Hadid proved once again why she’s considered a fashion chameleon.
Known for everything from nearly-naked gowns on the Cannes red carpet to sharply tailored pantsuits worn off-duty in Paris, Bella consistently kept the fashion world guessing.

During a summer visit to Paris in July 2017, the then-20-year-old model adopted a southern-inspired aesthetic with a high-fashion twist.
She wore a denim mini skirt and a plaid button-down shirt from the Australian fashion label I.Am.Gia. Known for its bold, rebellious aesthetic inspired by supermodel Gia Carangi and the film Gia, the Gen Z-favorite brand channels edgy streetwear and festival-ready flair. Bella’s shirt was knotted at the waist to create a casual, cropped silhouette—perfectly capturing I.Am.Gia’s signature blend of attitude and trend-forward style.

The look captured Bella’s flair for balancing sexy and street-savvy — and hinted at a plaid fixation that week, as she was spotted in two other checkered outfits while in France.

Bella completed her country-western-inspired look with a pair of white Stuart Weitzman “Clingy” booties—an It-shoe at the time. Designed with sleek, stretchy leather and a short kitten heel, the booties offered a polished silhouette without sacrificing comfort, making them perfect for strolling the streets of Paris in style.

Between fashion week and the model’s spread for V Magazine, it looks like Bella has been keeping busy. As part of the spread, Bella wore nothing but denim and Bulgari diamonds. She shared some shots on Instagram, one of her in Daisy Dukes with an open jacket, and another where she posed in just her micro-mini shorts.
We love a gal who isn’t afraid of risks, don’t you?
