When it comes to transitional dressing, Bella Hadid doesn’t just follow the formula, she redefines it. Fresh off her appearances in Milan, the model delivered two distinctly different looks that perfectly captured the shift from winter polish to spring flirtation. Each outfit felt intentional, directional, and entirely on-brand for her.

For the Miss Sixty for Bella Hadid cocktail party at the Wilde Club, she leaned into playful sophistication. Her black-and-white polka dot halter top, cut low with a plunging neckline, brought a light, almost nostalgic energy that nodded to spring’s inevitable arrival.

But instead of going full warm-weather mode, she grounded the look with sleek black leather flared pants, adding structure and edge, and paired them with sharply pointed black heels that lengthened the silhouette.

A tailored black coat layered over her shoulders kept the outfit seasonally appropriate, proving that transitional style is all about balance. Narrow rectangular glasses, gold hoops, and a glossy red manicure added that signature Hadid touch, showcasing equal parts ‘90s supermodel and downtown cool.

Later, at the Prada Party during Milan Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2026/2027, she pivoted entirely. Gone were the playful prints, and in their place was a fluid black satin dress with a plunging neckline and softly draped lines that skimmed the body.

The look felt moodier, sleeker, and undeniably winter-coded. Styled with classic black pointed pumps and slim sunglasses, it was minimalism at its most powerful. Her straight, glassy hair and barely-there accessories allowed the fabric’s movement and shine to do all the talking.

Bella Hadid's love life:

As Bella Hadid continues to dominate the fashion world, her love life has also found itself back in the headlines. The model, who has been in an on-and-off relationship with Adan Banuelos, was recently photographed walking through Milan alongside a mysterious mustachioed cowboy, sparking fresh speculation amid breakup rumors.

The sighting comes just weeks after reports suggested she and Banuelos had called it quits following nearly two years together. According to Us Weekly, the strain reportedly stemmed from their increasingly busy schedules and time spent long distance.

Another source added, “There was a lot that was putting strain on the relationship. Adan really wanted her to be in Texas with him, but Bella was ready to spread her wings again and take on more work in Los Angeles and New York.” While neither Hadid nor Banuelos has publicly confirmed a split, her latest appearance with a new cowboy has only fueled questions about what’s next.
