What brings Bella Hadid to Dubai?

Bella Hadid's back, baby!

The Palestinian-Dutch model, who stepped away from the runway a couple of years ago while grappling with with mental health struggles and Lyme disease, is slowly but surely returning to the spotlight.

Hadid made her ramp comeback back in September this year after a two-year hiatus, walking for the Saint Laurent Spring 2025 show in Milan. Her last runway appearance was in October 2022 for Miu Miu.

But what exactly is she doing at Dubai Mall?

Just two months after the 28-year-old was named the global ambassador for Swiss jeweler Chopard, she celebrated her first major appearance with the brand in the Middle East.

Stepping out in Dubai, Hadid helped inaugurate Chopard’s new flagship at The Dubai Mall alongside creative director Caroline Scheufele.

During the event, Bella shared a heartwarming moment with two young Emirati girls, calling them “princesses” and leaving the boutique with smiles and hugs.

Later in the evening, she made a stop at Jaipur Rugs in Alserkal Avenue for a VIP after-party donning a sparkling Elie Saab number, even posing with beauty mogul and influencer, Huda Kattan.

After wrapping up work duties, Hadid gave shout-outs to some local eateries on her Instagram story. Guess what we'll be ordering tonight?
