Bella Hadid And Vogue: Contemporary Icons Of Gen Z Fashion
Vogue Bella Hadid is no longer a chance combination between a supermodel and a magazine, but a historic collaboration between two contemporary icons: one is a magazine that defines global aesthetics, the other is a cool muse of a new generation of fashion. From a potential model, Bella has risen to become a familiar face on more than 30 global Vogue covers - each appearance is a time to redefine the standard of beauty.
From “Gigi's Little Sister” to Vogue's Muse
When Bella first debuted, she was often compared to Gigi Hadid – her older sister with a bright, friendly and popular appearance. But Bella chose a different path: she did not try to be “the second Gigi”. Instead, she built the image of a different woman – angular, cold, individual and full of editorial. And Vogue is where that “fashion statement” was most clearly expressed.
Each time Bella appears on the cover, the audience is amazed by her limitless transformation. Sometimes she looks vintage French, sometimes futuristic with bleached hair, sometimes minimalist to the point of being "unfashionable" - but it is in that "lack of security" that Vogue and Bella create new icons.

Memorable Vogue Cover Appearances
1. Vogue Italia 2017 – Classically sharp and sexy
Bella appeared with messy black hair, sharp eyeliner and a classic black silk dress. With dim lighting and a rustic setting, she became an old-fashioned muse in the modern world. The photo series received praise from experts for its handling of light and styling with a strong European cinematographic style.
2. Vogue US 2022 – Unedited Beauty
In the special issue celebrating Bella’s journey, she appears on the cover in her most authentic image: soft lighting, minimal makeup, her face untouched. This is the message that both Bella and Vogue send to Gen Z: modern beauty does not need to be perfect, but honest.
3. Vogue Paris (now Vogue France) – Minimalist but extremely fashionable
With a white shirt, slicked-back hair, and large earrings, Bella embodies the Parisienne spirit: neat, confident, and unpretentious. The cover has been all over Pinterest, Tumblr, and Instagram with the caption: “The less you try, the more you glow.”

Hair, Makeup, Styling: Three Elements That Make Bella Hadid Look
1. Slick-back hairstyle – The hairstyle of power
Whether her hair is long or short, Bella often chooses to slick it back, expose her forehead, and have no bangs – revealing her angular facial bone structure. This is a hairstyle that requires confidence and a truly "photogenic" face – something Bella rarely possesses.
2. Matte, non-luminous makeup
In contrast to the glitter makeup trend that is trending on TikTok, Bella goes for a "minimal" look: matte foundation, matte eyeshadow, no shimmer, and earthy or cool nude lipstick. This helps to highlight the eyes and create inner depth.
3. Unisex style, high fashion
Bella is not confined to feminine clothing. In Vogue, she often appears in loose suits, men’s blazers, trench coats or deconstructed corsets. Her genderless style makes her suitable for all styles from retro to futuristic to avant-garde.
Bella Hadid And The Cultural Impact Of Vogue
1. The “alien beauty” icon of the new generation
With her high nose, deep eyes and pointed chin, Bella was once considered an “unfriendly face”. But now, she represents the trend of “strange beauty” – something that Gen Z celebrates rather than avoids. In Vogue, Bella’s image is not softened – but enhanced by emphasizing those angles.
2. Spirit of “own your difference” – Be proud of being different
Bella once shared in an interview with Vogue: “I used to hate my face because I thought I was not beautiful. Now I love every line of it, because it is mine, like no one else.”
This quote is all over social media, printed on posters, Instagram stories, TikTok videos, and inspiring thousands of young people: you don't need to change yourself to be beautiful – you need to look at yourself with new eyes.
