  • Hi evoke, this is Bella Hadid and I'm going to take you through my life in look so far.

  • Yeah, Okay, I'm nervous.

  • Oh goodness!

  • Okay, our first one, we have is my first Met Ball.

  • I went with Top Shop and this short little dress.

  • I don't know why we were decided with that, but I remember I went to the fitting and realized I had no shoes, so I went to sail around myself and I got these platform gold and silver heels, which I still have today and I was so nervous and I think I ran through the carpet, I don't even think I was on there for more than four minutes at this point, I think we were all just kind of waiting for Rihanna to get there, so I had to get in so we could see her walk in.

  • Rihanna was about to come period.

  • Okay, so this is apparently a very iconic red dress moment and this dress, alexander voted made, I was nervous in this dress.

  • I look very sexual and all these things that was still nervous about cameras and nervous about having a lot of makeup on and nervous about this slit was like, thank God, I think that maybe there was one little slip that happened, but I kind of get embarrassed at this moment, still, even though the dress is gorgeous, it's just again, doesn't feel so much like me, and I think that this was the start of the Bella persona that everyone sees of me, that's my alter ego, that's Belinda, I'm just so the opposite of her, She's very Vava voom, you know, bless her, love her, she was very nervous.

  • Next look, oh my gosh, people used to make fun of me and say that I never smiled and it was just because I was in a really bad place, physically and mentally.

  • So I looked really sad in this picture but I was actually very happy.

  • This was um I think my first fendi show that I ever did and Carl last minute asked me to close the show.

  • So it was on the Trevi fountain and I remember like looking around everybody while I was walking because I was kind of taking in the moment, I think I cried after actually it was like the most beautiful moment and this dress this whole moment was just gorgeous and Miss Carla lot.

  • But these moments are the reasons why I'm so grateful that I was able to meet him and have those moments with him and I'll remember it forever.

  • So thank you Carl.

  • Okay, this is one of my favorite covers that I probably have ever done, shot by steven Meisel.

  • It's my first italian vogue cover ever.

  • It was just supposed to be for one portrait behind but that night I get a call from my agent and they're like Stephen wants you to come back tomorrow and I'm like of course I will come back.

  • I walk into the studio the next day and there were you know, 20 ft tall photos of me all around the studio, he puts me in front of one of the portraits, I'm in a full Prada looked and he just snaps his fingers and this man starts walking back and forth and he takes the photo and probably, You know, 10 minutes and I leave a few months later the cover comes out and I'm on the cover and my agent didn't know, I didn't know and Stephen probably was the only person that new, but he really made this like a magical experience for me and to have that surprise aspect to it, especially with a magazine, like Italian vogue.

  • It was one of the most incredible experience I ever had.

  • He's a blessing to be able to work with in this picture for me I'm going to keep for the rest of my life.

  • This was one of my favorite Met Ball looks I ever did.

  • It's a full chrome hearts look and Gareth Pugh did this top situation moment, the veil was sewn into my hair.

  • The hair pieces though, we're like £25.

  • So every time they would ask me to look by my shoulder, I couldn't keep my head up because it was so heavy.

  • We kind of wanted to go with like the dark angel.

  • She looked like a dark angel that night.

  • I got to the show when people were already sitting, the types of this look kind of went viral I guess is what the kids say after this show walked.

  • I mean, I saw everybody wearing these tights.

  • This look is me walking into the louis Vuitton men's show that Virgil did this outfit.

  • I styled myself.
