Bella Hadid Makes a Surprise Appearance in a Red Bra Set at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Bella and Gigi Hadid are both veterans of the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and both took the stage tonight. Bella’s appearance, however, was a surprise. She was not announced as part of the cast and has stepped back from modeling as of late.

Still, she appeared at the end in a red bra set and giant matching wings.

In April, Bella told Allure that she took an unofficial break from her fashion career to focus on her mental and physical health. “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,” she said.

Bella moved to Texas, where she found love with cowboy Adan Banuelos. She spoke about her life there, saying, “Just as I have styled myself for years now–which I still do–I love being able to do my own hair and makeup, be happy with how I look, and get ready with my girlfriends here in Texas. We have the best time, and I never feel like I need to do too much.”

She is genuinely happier, she admitted. “For the first time now, I’m not putting on a fake face. If I don’t feel good, I won’t go. If I don’t feel good, I take time for myself. And I’ve never had the opportunity to do that or say that before. Now when anybody sees me in pictures and they say, I look happy, I genuinely am. I am feeling better; my bad days now were my old good days.”

Bella last walked the Victoria’s Secret Show in 2018.
