Bella Hadid Goes Blonde for Her Triumphant Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show Comeback
Sometimes a comeback isn’t just about returning—it’s about reinvention. And darlings, Bella Hadid understood the assignment. When the twenty-nine-year-old supermodel graced the Victoria’s Secret runway in Brooklyn on Wednesday night, she didn’t simply walk—she owned every single inch of that catwalk with a transformation that left us absolutely breathless.
The most striking element? That luminous blonde hair cascading in signature supermodel waves, a dramatic departure from her typically brunette aesthetic. Blown out to perfection with quintessential ’90s glam, the golden locks framed her face like liquid sunshine. According to devoted fans who’ve followed her career religiously, this return to her natural blonde roots (she shares the genetic gift with sister Gigi) is nothing short of revelatory. The girl was born for this shade.
But the hair was merely the opening act. Her first look? An all-red vision that could stop traffic in Times Square. Picture this: a scarlet bra paired with exquisitely lacy underwear featuring a center cutout, connected to a matching garter that clasped onto sultry sheer red tights. The ensemble radiated pure sensuality, elevated by a romantic satin robe draped languidly around her elbows and completed with red strapped stilettos that added dangerous elegance to every stride. It was fire personified, and we were all willing participants in the inferno.
For her second appearance, Hadid pivoted to classic angel territory—a silver fringed bra with coordinating bottoms, crowned by those plush, oversized white wings that have become synonymous with Victoria’s Secret royalty. The contrast between her two looks demonstrated remarkable range, proving once again why she remains one of fashion’s most bankable faces.
This triumphant return carries particular poignancy given Hadid’s recent health battles. Earlier this fall, the Orebella perfume creator was hospitalized for Lyme disease treatment, raising concerns among her devoted fanbase. Yet she emerged resilient, first spotted strolling through Paris in September looking radiant, then conquering the Saint Laurent Spring/Summer show later that month. Wednesday’s Victoria’s Secret appearance confirmed what we suspected: Bella Hadid is unstoppable.
Her history with the brand reads like a fashion fairytale. Since her 2016 debut at the Paris show—wearing a blue and silver lingerie set with matching feathered wings alongside sister Gigi—Bella has become synonymous with the Victoria’s Secret aesthetic. Last year, she received the ultimate honor: closing the 2024 show, a testament to her enduring impact.
The Hadid sisters have been fixtures in fashion for over a decade, yet their annual Victoria’s Secret reunions never lose their magic. Tonight, the leggy blonde siblings will celebrate with their ever-expanding family of angels, continuing a tradition that feels both nostalgic and refreshingly contemporary.
As Bella strutted that runway—blonde, bold, and brilliant—she reminded us why supermodels remain fashion’s ultimate fantasy. After everything she’s overcome, watching her take flight once more felt less like a comeback and more like destiny fulfilled.
