No.

That’s that then.

PolkaDotPorridge · 24/05/2026 05:54

Absolutely not 🤣

Cosleepingadvice · 24/05/2026 06:39

Why have you started two separate threads about Bella Hadid?

70isaLimitNotaTarget · 24/05/2026 06:43

I'm just waiting for the who's Bella Hadid? Never heard of her posts.

Oh if only there was some sort of Search Engine to look her up ...Hmm

curious79 · 24/05/2026 06:45

Technically she is given she does loads of couture shows…. But would she have risen to prominence without wealthy parents and lots of plastic surgery? Absolutely not

OnlyMabelInTheBuilding · 24/05/2026 10:12

I don’t even think of her as a model, just another nepo insta celeb.

Salamiii · 24/05/2026 11:14

She is probably but I think her family gave her a huge leg up and it renders the whole thing a joke same with Gigi and Kendall Jenner. I think we should get rid of modelling and use AI. It's so old fashioned and restrictive to have skinny tall humans parading clothes, but I'll stop myself now not to derail further!

Nothing beats the 90s super models.

Well, no, because if you have to ask or look her up, then that answers the question. It would be a no if you’ve never heard of her. I never have, so, no. Mind, I didn’t realise there were any any more, I remember Claudia sniffer et al but don’t know any after that era.

SilverPink · 24/05/2026 13:07

Are you the poster who kept starting threads about her style? PR team hard at work on a Sunday? 🤔

MegMortimer · 24/05/2026 13:08

I don't particularly have an opinion, but she is an attractive young woman who is earning her own income, and I say good luck to her and her family.

ladyrinths · 24/05/2026 13:09

Yes & No.

She is a big name & books shows, campaigns etc but she isn’t iconic in anyway and won’t be remembered

SilverPink · 24/05/2026 13:10

Also, there are no supermodels now. That was Kate, Cindy, Naomi, Claudia…absolutely everyone knew the 90s supermodels, even your gran. Models these days are just nowhere near as famous despite social media being a thing.

ladyrinths · 24/05/2026 13:11

Gisele was probably that last supermodel

IDontHateRainbows · 24/05/2026 13:13

Ive never found her particularly pretty, unlike her sister, but granted she has an amazing body.

VintageLane · 24/05/2026 13:13

Do we have supermodels now? I thought that was a 90s thing.

I only know Bella and Gigi from The Real Housewives. I thought Bella was quite plain compared to Gigi.

KojaksLollipop · 24/05/2026 13:13

Hello Bella. Do you think you are?

mumofoneAloneandwell · 24/05/2026 13:13

I do yes

Her
Emrata
Anok yai
Cara
Paloma elsesser

Are my faves - I might be forgetting some

YellingAway · 24/05/2026 13:16

She is a beautiful woman but could I pick her out from a line out like I could for Claudia, Linda, Naomi et al, then no, I couldn’t so not even close to a super.

Totaldramallama · 24/05/2026 13:23

No. I'm not a big fan of models who's looks have been given by a talented plastic surgeon.

Overtheatlantic · 24/05/2026 13:25

Give me Christy Turlington any day.

BillieWiper · 24/05/2026 13:30

There are no supermodels anymore and there hasn't been since someone like Agyness Deny or maybe Cara.

Obviously the golden age of Cindy, Claudia, Naomi and later on Kate is long gone.

Bella is just a Nepo who starved herself and had extensive plastic surgery all over her face and body. I don't even think she's especially tall? Her sister is even worse though.

I think to be a good model you have to not want to be a model. Like you get spotted and scouted and just happen to have the look. Anyone desperate to do it probably hadn't the right look naturally.

Mykneesareshot · 24/05/2026 13:40

The real supermodels didn't have a ton of plastic surgery to look amazing, they were a freak of genetics. So in answer to your question, no.

Daisymug · 24/05/2026 14:44

I think she still quite plain. I also wouldn’t want to be as tall as her and have a long torso and shorter legs. So other than being very slim I wouldn’t want her body.
