For the entirety of what feels like the longest fashion month, we’ve been staunchly on Bella-watch, keeping our eyes peeled for the first sighting of the younger Hadid sister of the season. This evening, just as we were on the brink of giving up hope, our patience was amply rewarded, with the once-in-a-generation supermodel majestically striding the marble-walled show space at the very last of the autumn/winter 2025 shows: Saint Laurent.
Of course, that hardly came as a surprise. Since starring in the house’s autumn 2024 campaign – marking her emergence from a brief modelling hiatus – Bella has proven herself something of a ride-or-die Saint Laurent girl. That status was cemented when just six months ago – at the house’s spring/summer 2025 show – she made her official return to the Paris Fashion Week catwalk, cutting a sharp figure à la Monsieur Saint Laurent in a slicked-back hair-do, square-frame glasses and an amply-cut tuxedo suit.

For her most recent appearance for the house, Bella stepped out in a more delicate, though no less striking, look – a subtly cinched, square-shouldered midi-dress with full-sleeves in Yves Klein blue lace, accessorised with a gold collar necklace and a similarly polished coiffure.
Quite how much Anthony Vaccarello is stumping up to make it worth her while to walk his – and only his – shows is no doubt a safely guarded secret, but whatever the amount, it’s proving well worth it for the spotlight she casts on his already brightly shining creative vision.
