Supermodel Bella Hadid made a sensational comeback to the runway during Paris Fashion Week, marking her return after a significant hiatus. The 28-year-old graced the Saint Laurent Womenswear Fall/Winter 2025-2026 show on Tuesday, March 11th, captivating audiences with her striking presence.
Hadid showcased a sheer, cobalt blue, floral lace dress featuring angular shoulders—a signature of designer Anthony Vaccarello’s collection. The ensemble was complemented by super sheer pantyhose, pointed black heels, and a sleek, low bun, embodying the show’s emphasis on clean lines and strong silhouettes.
This appearance follows Hadid’s previous runway participation at Saint Laurent’s spring show during Paris Fashion Week in September 2024, after a two-year modeling break. During her hiatus, she focused on personal well-being and sobriety, relocating to Texas with her partner, Adan Banuelos. Reflecting on her career,
Hadid shared, “After 10 years of modeling, 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.”
The Saint Laurent show, held near the Eiffel Tower, was a highlight of Paris Fashion Week, featuring powerful shoulders and sharp tailoring. Designer Anthony Vaccarello’s collection emphasized strength through structured blazers, pencil skirts, and bomber jackets, attracting a formidable audience including celebrities like Austin Butler, Zoë Kravitz, and Charli XCX.
Hadid’s return not only signifies her personal growth but also reaffirms her status as a leading figure in the fashion industry.
