Bella Hadid makes a comeback to the runway after two-year hiatus

The Palestinian-Dutch supermodel captivated audiences during the Saint Laurent Spring 2025 show in Milan after returning to the spotlight. Her last runway appearance was in October 2022 for Miu Miu.

I needed to take a step back and focus on my mental health. It was a hard decision, but it was the right one.

Bella's comeback represents not just a return to modeling but a broader message about resilience and self-care.

A new chapter

Her look featured a double-breasted blazer and trousers layered over a white button-up with a skinny black tie, inspired by the uniform of the house’s founding designer, Yves Saint Laurent.

According to Hadid, Coming back is different this time. I feel more connected to myself and my body than I ever have.
