Harper’s Bazaar US latest cover girl is supermodel Bella Hadid. In an interview with the supermodel, she talks about what’s fact and what’s fiction, navigating through unparalleled and one-sided criticism as well as close media access. Bella in this interview debunks rumours and the notion that she’s been seen as “mean” and a “bitch.”
Bella Hadid tells Harper’s Bazaar…
“I never go a day without smiling. People always say I have the same facial expressions. But what they don’t realize is that for a long time I looked that way because photographers on set would direct me to look ‘bored’ or ‘very nonchalant.’”
In more excerpts, the younger Hadid sister shares how public perception affected her for such a long time. She also talks about how pictures only offer just a sneak bit of a person’s life and the importance of not judging just by what you see at face value. This was quite a candid interview from Bella Hadid.
According to her
“In the morning I make it a point to keep my phone away from me for 30 minutes so my brain can start functioning before I get completely overwhelmed by the media. Sometimes I just want to be me for 30 minutes, not ‘Bella’”
In the editorial, she’s seen in elaborate couture pieces from fashion powerhouses like Givenchy, Armani Prive, Chanel, Giambattista Valli, Valentino and other couturiers.
