Once upon a time, Bella Hadid was simply Gigi’s younger sister, another up-and-coming model who had to prove herself in the industry. Now, those days are long gone and Hadid is one of the hardest working models in the world, working with top brands like Marc Jacobs, Versace, and Michael Kors. When she’s not modeling for a new campaign or walking the runway, Hadid can typically be found in her home base of New York City, where she puts her personal style on display almost every day when she walks out her door. She has developed such a cult following over the years that, at this point, her endorsement can even make an up-and-coming designer’s career. And yet, it wasn’t that long ago that Hadid was blending into the crowd on the red carpets of events like the 2014 Kids’ Choice Awards. To fully appreciate Hadid’s now signature, singular look, take a look back at how her approach to the red carpet has evolved.
