Bella Hadid Returns to Runway after 2-Year Break

Palestinian-American model Bella Hadid supermodel Bella Hadid is back to the fashion world.

The supermodel—who has been candid about her decision to press pause on modeling—returned to the runway for the first time in two years during Paris Fashion Week.

Hadid stepped back into the haute couture spotlight for the September 24 Saint Laurent Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show, where she strutted down the stage wearing an over-sized black suit, white button-down and tie. 

She donned a black-rimmed sunglasses and wore her hair in a sleek bun.

Prior to her Fashion Week appearance, Hadid last worked a fashion show in October 2022, when she walked the runway for a charity event hosted by Naomi Campbell and Qatar Creates in Doha, Qatar. 

While Hadid—who has been partner of cowboy Adan Banuelos since October 2023—always puts her best foot forward when she's showcasing designer ensembles, she previously shared that she felt like the profession wasn't giving her the same fulfillment. 

In fact, Hadid said that imbalance was a major reason why she moved to Texas and turned her attention elsewhere over the last two years.

"After 10 years of modeling," she told Allure in an interview published April 30, "I realized I was putting so much energy and love and effort into something that, in the long run, wasn't necessarily giving it back to me."

During her break from high fashion, she recently launched her own fragrance line called Orebella, a venture she insisted she's been "extremely passionate" about for a long time.

"Growing up in an Arab family, perfume and scents were almost a personality trait. I can still remember the way my grandparents smelled when they walked into a room. My uncle Mahmoud was making his own essential oils in the '70s—woody, tobacco-smelling scents," Hadid explained. "I didn't want to keep it to myself anymore."
