We Never Expected To See High-Cut Bodysuits Like This–But Bella Hadid’s Is So Chic!

The beauty of the high-cut bodysuit is that it offers just a sliver of skin in the most unexpected place, yet you can completely cover up with baggy trousers, a high neckline, and long sleeves to create balance. Bella shows us just how to achieve this kind of minimalist harmony in her latest Miss Sixty 30th anniversary campaign, where she is styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson in a long-sleeve black bodysuit with a high neck and flare-bottom gray denim pants that feature a unique peek-a-boo criss-cross design on the hips. Her makeup is very minimal — a bit of bronzer and a metallic lip makes this look pop — and also notable is that Bella is not wearing her trademark accessories. The effect is phenomenal: she looks fresh and chic.

Maybe you’re not a minimalist at heart and still want in on the high-cut bodysuit trend — never fear, Bella has a look for that, too. In another Instagram post, the model appeared in a pretty complex light blue bodysuit with a number of cut-outs throughout it and a super high leg that she paired with low-waisted light two-tone denim pants and blue Miu Miu thong heels. Instead of keeping things basic here, Bella piled on the accessories — including beaded bracelets, oversized gold rings, and the ultimate ‘90s throwback: butterfly clips in her hair. This look isn’t tame, but it’s the perfect going-out-to-meet-friends-for-drinks style that will capture all of the attention. 

With Bella way ahead of the trend game, will you feel inspired to give the high-cut bodysuit a spin?
