1. Elaborate Bun
Bella's elaborate bun is what you call a show-stealing hairstyle. For this event, she wore a bun that was expertly rolled and pinned for a sophisticated look. The sleek, pulled-up hair and little flower added the extra touch, making the style even more stunning. What more can we say? It was undeniably a showstopper—that's the truth.
2. Chic Updo
Another updo look, but another fantastic style you wouldn't see any other day. Part of the extensions were rolled to form a bun, while the other part was left to flow down. But its length made it more special, so remember that when you want to recreate this look.
3. Long Braids
The model with long braids is indeed a sight to behold. It can be achieved by dividing your hair into two parts from the center of your hairline and then braiding each side by adding extensions to make it long. Use a gel to slick the edges and sides for a clean, beautiful style.
4. Slicked Bun
Bella is a true fashionista who knows how to pair her hairstyles with her outfits. Take, for instance, this sleek bun that highlights the elegance of her dress. This bun was anything but ordinary—it was a standout choice that day.
It's one of the many buns she’s worn with flair and the best part? It's easy to achieve.
5. Slicked Side-Parted Low Ponytail
At first glance, this sophisticated style proves she's ready for the runway. It’s all about the sleekness and that perfectly defined side part.
But take a closer look, and you'll notice the subtle band along her hairline that ties the look together, adding an unexpected touch that elevates the entire style.
6. Curly Scraped-up Bun
This wouldn't fall behind for any occasion. Achieve it by putting your hair into a high ponytail, creating a center part beforehand. Then, curl the ends of the ponytail very tightly to form the ringlets. Remember that the curls are very tight, so there's no need to brush them out afterward.
7. 1920s-Style Bob
Bella Hadid has a unique ability to transform retro styles into modern-day masterpieces. Her take on the 1920s-style bob was effortlessly cool and stylish. With products that created a wet look and bangs cut strikingly short, she turned this classic into another standout statement in her repertoire.
8. Retro Pinup-Style Ponytail
Take a cue from Bella and try this retro pinup-style ponytail for your next look. Embracing the classic pinup style you know, this features delicate tendrils that frame the face, a long, flowing ponytail, and the true star—the rounded, under bangs that complete the retro vibe. To get this flawless look, a visit to your stylist is highly recommended.
9. Natural Curls With a Scarf
Is it beach day? Bella Hadid’s got the perfect hairstyle for you. Simply go natural and let your hair flow freely—moisturize and viola!
If you don’t have naturally loose curls, a wand will do the trick. But be sure not to make the curls too tight so they give you the perfect outcome you're going for. Finish the look with stunning earrings and a silk scarf, and you’re ready for the beach!
10. Avant-Garde Updo
We love Bella's updo here! Her hair was rolled into different buns, creating a faux-hawk vibe that’s both bold and beautiful. You can easily style this with your pins, hairspray, and styling tool. It’s a fun, unique style that’s worth trying for your next outing. Trust us—you'll love how it turns out!
11. Bob
Oh, what a beautiful and sun-kissed style to wear. The golden blonde bob framed her face and made her appearance warm. We guess the color does this job perfectly.
Ask your stylist to keep the length around your jaw and the roots dark to mimic this look perfectly. If there are any tweaks you want to your style, add them. This is an easy, breezy look that your stylist won’t have trouble achieving.
12. Layers and Bangs
Achieve Bella’s long, gorgeous style by adding layers to your hair. A few inches apart will do the trick to recreate this look. And the long, skimming bangs will complete the style and give it that signature flair.
If you want to add a bit of a vintage vibe, a center part, just like Bella’s, will take it up a notch and give you that bombshell effect too.
13. Low Ponytail
This is the ultimate all-in-one hairstyle, creating magic at any event. For Bella, it was the perfect choice for the night, complementing her outfit and adding a sleek polish. The bold earrings she also wore made a statement of their own, and the hairstyle made them pop more, radiating glamor and adding an elegant touch to her overall look.
14. Wet Look
One hairstyle that always gets people talking is the wet look, and Bella Hadid pulled it off perfectly. From the slicked edges to the side part and smooth finish, her version stood out in the best way.
It was stunning and had a unique twist that made it memorable. The added touch of accessories gave it an extra level of style that elevated the whole look.
15. Braided Bun
Do you have an official event? Here's a style to pull off effortlessly—the braided bun. Start by pulling your hair into a ponytail, divide it into sections, and braid them. Afterward, roll the braids to form a beautiful bun and pin them securely. To make it even more striking, add a deep side part and sleek your hair before creating the bun. These details will give it a classy and romantic touch.
16. Center-Parted and Straight
Nothing beats straight, center-parted long hair for a long day. It's a timeless style that anyone can recreate, as long as you have long tresses. (Hair extensions work too).
Simple yet chic, this look is perfect for any occasion. So, style yours by detangling, washing, straightening, and slicking your hair to achieve this effortless, sophisticated hairdo.
17. Side Parted Updo
Bella has rocked updos, as usual, she slayed this one too. With a side part and a sleek finish, the hairstyle was gelled to face two directions before gathering the rest of her hair into an updo. This created a classic yet modern style that stands out. The sleek look also helped flaunt her contoured face, while the updo kept it polished and refined.
18. Half-up Half-down Do
For a casual day out, this is perfect. You wouldn't want it any other way than this effortless inspiration from the supermodel. Her half-up, half-down hairstyle gives off a carefree vibe that pairs perfectly with her laid-back outfit.
If you'd want, recreate this by putting half of your hair into a ponytail and letting the back free. Also, feel free to use a scrunchie. A scrunchie can help elevate the look.
19. Mermaid Waves
Build volume, let those waves pop, and get back to feeling like a mermaid with the help of mousse. It’s not as tricky as it sounds to achieve those voluminous waves, especially with the right product.
So, if you're envying Bella’s look here, all you need is mousse, a good styling tool, and a bit of patience to perfect those effortless waves.
20. Choppy Fringe
Go for a switch with a choppy fringe—it’s easy to pull off and can completely transform your look. In this style, Bella complemented it with long hair, allowing the bangs to shine even brighter with their killer texture and movement.
The combination creates a striking balance between boldness and flow, making it a fresh and edgy choice for anyone looking to shake things up.
