Bella Hadid, In Yves Saint Laurent Suit, Makes Stunning Comeback After 2-Year Hiatus

Bella Hadid made her last appearance at Paris Fashion Week for the spring/summer 2023 collections back in October 2022. Her look in a bralette featuring thin straps teamed with a matching-hued straight skirt, boot-styled flat shoes, a wet hairstyle, and makeup was everything needed to spread the magic on a runway. Following this, she took a hiatus to focus on her health. During this time, she did not shy from opening up about her long battle with Lyme disease and maintained a distance from the runways.

Finally, Hadid returned to the runway in Paris at the Saint Laurent show. Fashionmongers say, what’s better than Saint Laurent to make such a Boss lady comeback? On the first day of Paris Fashion Week, the 27-year-old showed off her old stunning self in the creative director of the label, Anthony Vaccarello’s burnished bronze runway in a mannish black suit and tie. The black suit perfectly flaunted her broadened shoulders and curves. She layered it with a white shirt and gave the perfect fashion inspiration for formal meetings.

Hadid completed her look with a neatly combed, back-brushed ponytail and makeup that blended into her skin. Her “no-makeup” makeup look included a highlighted T-zone, tinted cheeks, nude glossy lips and shimmery eyes with a thin touchup of mascara. Black pointed shoes and thick-framed specs added an oomph factor to Hadid’s overall look.

The majestic collection featuring a form of fluid suits and layered overcoats reflects Yves Saint Laurent’s persona, in which artful sophistication coexisted with instinctual desire, as per Vogue. Indeed, each look of Saint Laurent’s spring/summer 2024 ready-to-wear collection at Paris Fashion Week radiated a sense of feminine empowerment, old-school elegance and modern sophistication. Yves Saint Laurent himself once declared, “Chanel freed women, and I empowered them” – a sentiment that certainly resonated throughout Vaccarello’s collection, which was rooted in the founder’s style.

The model, who was a regular at Vivienne Westwood, Victoria Beckham, and Versace, announced that she was “finally healthy” in August 2023 after a prolonged battle with Lyme disease. In a carousel post showing how she remained strong through the suffering, she wrote a long, meaningful note about it. “The little me that suffered would be so proud of grown me for not giving up on myself,” she penned,

She added, “One thing I want to express to you all is that 1: I am okay, and you do not have to worry, and 2: I wouldn’t change anything for the world. If I had to go through all of this again to get here, to this exact moment I’m in right now, with all of you, finally healthy, I would do it all again. It made me who I am today. The universe works in the most painful and beautiful ways, but I need to say that if you are struggling- it will get better. I promise.”

“I tried to pick the most positive pictures I could because as painful as this experience was, the outcome was the most enlightening experience of my life, filled with new friends, new visions and a new brain. I’ll be back when I’m ready. I miss you all so much. I love you all so much,” she concluded.

Hadid’s return to the runway is exciting her fans worldwide. She looked incredibly stunning in the Saint Laurent ensemble. What do you think? Do let us know.
