Bella Hadid covers the latest issue of Vogue Australia. I was all prepared for a vague interview from Bella, but I think Vogue Australia went old-school, and literally just put a model on their cover without any cover profile or interview. The cover editorial is meant to homage the work of the late photographer Sam Haskins. That’s why she’s supposed to look like a cowgirl – that’s the vibe they were going for. You can see the full shoot here at Vogue Australia.
In addition to that, Bella also covers the latest issue of Vogue Netherlands. I thought international Vogues were in contact with each other so there was no overlap in cover subjects? It’s weird that Bella did two different cover shoots for the same month. Bella had more to say about this shoot on her Instagram – she did the cover to honor her roots and her Dutch mother’s roots, but she learned soon after the shoot that her grandmother had passed away.
Don’t yell at me, guys, but I still love Bella as an editorial model. I have loved her print work for a while now, she’s the best print model of the Nepotism Model generation.

Are there no other models beyond this small group of nepotism beneficiaries?
Apparently not.
She looks like a totally different person in the first cover photo.
I would not have know it was her. She looks beautiful, and I usually am not a fan of her.
Yeah, I normally don’t think she is all that special but she looks so beautiful in this Vogue cover. Blondish hair looks good on her. The outfit she is wearing in the first pic though is hideous.
+1, I’m not a fan but she looks fab on the Aussie Vogue cover. I also like her Insta post.
I really don’t see the appeal, but at least she doesn’t look dead in the eyes like Kendall/Gigi/Kaia.
Admittedly, I don’t understand high fashion. Can someone explain to me why she is doing leg lifts on the cover of Vogue? Did she not have enough time to engage her core that morning?
I kind of really love Bella and Gigi, and I can’t explain why and it makes me ashamed and confused. I think Bella especially is finally loosening up and it’s paying off on the red carpet and in editorials.
I feel the same and I’m not sure why either.
I love her on the Netherlands cover! She looks like she’s having a blast.
I truly like both of them a lot. Bella especially. She photographs very well.
Yeah I actually like the Hadid’s as models. Should they be the 1 & 2 in their industry? Probably not, but I like their looks & they do work hard!
She looks great on the first cover, even with the awful fashion, but mostly because they photoshopped her into a different person almost. The Dutch one is just dumb looking to me. The pose, fashion, blocking, the colors. It bores me.
She’s versatile – I love the Aussie cover. She’s a blank slate, in the best way.
she’s beautiful but also totally made in the operating theatre.
Not to sound dramatic but this combined with the narcissism and airbrushing of social media culture is dangerous to the self worth and confidence our youth. Completely unattainable beauty standards.
Hmm, I usually find her very bland looking (the Aussie cover above being an exception)? I work at a university and I see prettier girls every day at work.
We could all be the best of the nepotism models if our parents gave us tons of money to get an entirely new face like Bella did.
All I see is a face with cosmetic surgery, the balance is out IMO although her colouring is lovely and obviously she’s tall and thin. Still, I think she’s underweight for her frame perhaps and the overall look is not great.
I think Gigi is incredibly beautiful, her face is so unique and sweet
I wonder why she got all of that surgery when she’s lived her whole life being negatively compared to her prettier, smaller-nosed sister? I find the critiques of her disturbing. She got a nose job, lost a lot of weight and gets a bit of top lip filler. Any other work is a guess, not definite. Countless models and actresses before her have had nose jobs, lost weight, and gotten lip fillers. Iconic ones, supermodels, famous actresses… I never see their surgeries brought up every single time. Leave her be.
SKF thank you!! I’m not even a big fan. But she’s negatively compared to her sister, constantly. And every article has to mention her surgery. Let her be she’s not even the worst celeb out there.
Yes even if she wasn’t a nepotism model I think she would be very successful. She has the look of the OG 90s models, and I loooove the bicycle shot in the Dutch Vogue.
Unlikely, no nepotism, no new face.
They managed to photoshop a fresh-faced look on her in the first one, and she looks great.
She’s my rhinoplasty goal. IMO she’s the only nepotism model that looks like she belongs in the biz.
Thank you!! I feel like I’m the only one on CB that likes her. She’s a very good model and can rock both dark and bright hair.
I know nepotism and plastic surgery blah blah.. But she’s pretty and seems very liked by her peers. More Bella less Kendall imho
@ Xi
Completely agree! She is versatile and I think she’s fierce.
All I want is a month free of the Hadid’s vacant stares on magazine covers. Just a month, that’s all.
I like the Australian cover. Tho these covers look more natural than she does IRL. I really hope she stops having tweaks done to her face – she’s becoming Melania-esque
I like the Australian one because it’s totally Australian. Very low key, earthy beauty that seems to be the stereotype of Australian women. Kind of like Frenchgirl in their minimalism but more sun kissed. I think that’s the best photo I’ve ever seen of her: she looks like a normal girl and not some plastic surgeon’s dream of what a “model” looks like. She doesn’t have that put on face she always seems to sport
I was trying to work out who she looks like in the first pic and I think its Jennifer Lawrence. I don’t think I’d have recognised her without being told.
I’m getting Bridget Hall vibes in the top pic. Fresh faced, freckled and lovely. Best she’s ever looked IMO.
None. Can’t stand her. She would never be a model if her family didn’t have the money to change her into a completely different looking person.
