Bella Hadid has never been one to blend quietly into a crowd—and her appearance at the CORE x Let Love Rule Benefit during Art Basel in Miami proved exactly why she remains one of fashion’s most compelling red-carpet figures.
The charity event—hosted by Sean Penn and Lenny Kravitz in support of their organizations, Community Organized Relief Effort and Let Love Rule—brought together artists, models, and philanthropists for a night dedicated to hurricane relief in the Bahamas. Amid the glamor and art-world buzz, Bella delivered a sleek, sultry moment that still feels striking years later.

The 23-year-old model opted for a vampy look, trading her bikinis for a silky black dress from Ukrainian fashion designer Bevza’s Spring/Summer 2020 collection. The sultry backless number features a halter-draped cowl-neck and thigh-high splits on both sides.

Makeup artist Mary Phillips amped up Bella’s fierce look with dark mascara, eyeliner, shimmering eyeshadow, and glossy peachy lip shade. Hairstylist Glen Coco then styled her brunette bob with a slicked center parting and waist-length extensions.

For her accessories, stylist Mimi Cuttrell selected a pair of dangling earrings and a matching necklace. She also wore a gold watch, several rings, and toted a feathery bag.
Bella literally wore her heart on her heels, stepping into a pair of romantic, heart-detailed slingback sandals by Spanish designer Juan Vidal.
Known for an eponymous label rooted in feminine strength, emotional sophistication, and sculptural craftsmanship, Vidal brings his fine-arts training and family tailoring heritage into every silhouette—including these instantly memorable heels.

Crafted with strips of glossy black patent leather that form heart-shaped outlines over clear PVC, the design feels equal parts playful and precise.
The pointed toes are dusted with Swarovski crystals for a touch of sparkle. At the same time, the slender four-inch heels complete a look that is both delicate and empowering—true to Vidal’s “eternal feminine” design philosophy.
