Bella Hadid is not here to play. The supermodel-turned-actress is taking method acting to new heights (and new injuries) while filming "The Beauty," and the latest photos from set in Paris prove she's diving headfirst into the gritty drama.
Clad in a fiery red, futuristic leather outfit that screams "fashion meets femme fatale," Bella Hadid was spotted filming an intense action scene and wasn't afraid to get a little bloody for the role.
She's all business in red leather
Bella stepped out in a bold, structured red crop top and matching high-waisted pants with exaggerated shoulders and gloves that feel part superhero, part sci-fi queen. The outfit is giving "The Matrix" meets "Mad Max," with a dash of Bella's high-fashion edge. Her hair was wet, slicked back, and serving just the right amount of drama.
Her boots look like they were borrowed from a space mission. And she had that signature Hadid stare that could cut through glass.
The stunt moment we had to rewind
Now, here's where things take a turn. In a follow-up scene, Bella's character is seen post-accident, as in, leg torn open, blood oozing, pants ripped, and serious damage done. Don't worry, it's all movie magic, but the injury makeup is terrifyingly realistic. Props to the FX team for the gruesome detail. You can see bone structure through the fake wound. Gross and impressive!
Her character is either surviving some post-apocalyptic chaos or in the middle of a wild sci-fi mission gone wrong. Either way, Bella's commitment is real. She's not just walking runways anymore. She's limping into battle, one bloodied step at a time.
So, what's 'The Beauty' even about?
Details are still hush-hush, but "The Beauty" is set in a dystopian future where traditional gender roles and appearances are flipped. Bella leads in a world where beauty is not what you think. The series is based on the hit novel by Aliya Whiteley, and if the book is anything to go by, we're in for a weird, wild, and deeply philosophical ride.
The cast has been filming around Europe, with Paris currently doubling as a grungy sci-fi battleground. Between the eerie vibes and Bella's all-in acting, we're counting the days until this series drops.
Bella 2.0 is giving action star energy
We didn't see Bella Hadid as an action star when she first hit the scene. But fast forward to today, and she's out here taking on stunt work, covered in faux blood, wearing futuristic armor, and looking cooler than ever doing it. She's stepping into a new era, and we're here for every second.
