When we think of early 2000s fashion, we immediately are reminded of iconic looks from stars like Paris Hilton who made mini skirts, plunging necklines, and Juicy Couture lasting trends. But now in 2022, we also think of supermodel Bella Hadid, who has brought back the early aughts in a big way. Bella is the queen of belly chains, crop tops, and lingerie—just to name a few trends. But she recently stepped out in a look that was so y2k, we were instantly transported to the sexy-flirty style of the new millennium.
Bella stepped out in Hollywood on January 16th wearing a dress Paris Hilton would be proud of. Her slinky brown halter dress plunged down to her navel and she paired it with white knee-high boots that gave us major Jennifer Lopez energy—another icon of the 2000s (and to this day!). Bella perfectly accessorized her mini dress with oversized hoops and a leopard print shoulder bag and we love this ‘fit from head to toe. We know and love Bella for her constantly surprising style choices and this look is no exception.
It’s no surprise the 25-year-old has been slaying when it comes to her style this year. She already went pantless in the middle of winter in an oversized t-shirt and puffer vest look, and showed off her supermodel bod in two insane Victoria’s Secret looks. Victoria’s Secret shared snaps of their latest promotional campaign on January 12th starring none other than Bella. After seeing the Valentine’s Day campaign—we’re ready to buy Bella’s ultra-sexy black lingerie set. Captioned, "Whether you’re boo’d up or blissfully solo, indulge in dazzling styles that exude confidence, just like @bellahadid #VSFeelTheLove" VS’s post racked up over 200k likes and fans filled the comments section with the heart-eyed and fire emojis. We also haven’t been able to recover from Bella’s behind-the-scenes snap from a VS photoshoot—the sheer thong and bra combo she wore was everything.
Bella recently opened up to Marie Claire about her decision to come back to the once-cancelled brand, saying: "What magnetized me to coming back was them coming to me and really proving to me that, behind the scenes, Victoria’s Secret has changed so drastically."
