This runway model is becoming a relatable role model. Her sleek bun, crop top, baggy pants and staple sneakers walk the roads of New York City, her mother’s Pennsylvania farm and her own Soho condo spot. This is Bella Hadid.
Hadid was born in Washington D.C., but grew up in Santa Barbara, California on her family’s ranch. She has several siblings, including her equally famous sister, Gigi Hadid. Following in Gigi’s modeling career footsteps, Bella emerged as the well-known model we know today. Outside of modeling campaigns, we’ve been seeing more of Hadid from her own devices.
Recently, Hadid seems to be taking on her own unique digital presence through her social media accounts. Unlike the majority of celebrities, Hadid has a more natural touch to her posts, making herself as relatable as possible. These interactions have become viral.
She can be found on TikTok as, “babybella777”, commenting on others’ everyday posts:
Hadid has been sharing some advice. One user commented on Hadid’s post asking,
“How do you stay motivated to constantly workout and take care of your health?” Hadid responded, “Last thing that’s helped me… making a routine keeps me motivated with myself, and having a health buddy helps too!!”
She is also taking advice. Another user was stunned by Hadid’s comment on their makeup routine saying,
“Teach. Me. Omfg. Beautiful before and after but wow that base.”
Although in shock, this user replied to Bella and went through her base routine of several products to achieve the desired look.
Hadid can hold her composure online, and respond positively. Some users were still not resonating with Hadid’s posts, commenting that only celebrities can do what is detailed in her daily health vlog. However, she replied back to one user explaining,
“I can make a video with vitamins & IVs that are affordable & easy!! Everything in this IV bag you can get from CVS and take orally!”
This has made it obvious that she wants to be inclusive with her followers, despite their doubts.
The beauty and ease of Hadid’s profile is made up of common trends, vlogs and lifestyle clips. She can be backstage with friends or doing her personal routines. What she chooses to share with her fan base is an inspiring and humble side of herself. As wealthy and treasured as Hadid is in the eyes of society, she has been choosing to come as close as possible to the same level as her followers. All of these engagements have come from her “for you page” and comment sections. Perhaps the chances of you being Hadid’s next interaction is increasing.
These efforts can remind us that in most cases celebrities are not always in full control of their publicity, but when they are, there is an admirable path to take.
In this case, Ms. Hadid, you are doing great.
