Bella Hadid has long been one of fashion’s most influential models, blending runway polish with an instinctive eye for street style. Ever since making her catwalk debut as a teenager, she has consistently turned everyday outfits into head-turning fashion moments—balancing vintage references, modern silhouettes, and a fearless approach to accessories.
One of her standout off-duty looks came when she stepped out in New York City wearing a collegiate-inspired outfit that perfectly captured her talent for mixing nostalgia with contemporary edge.
