Some people "lie and win", some people "screw up", but none of this applies to our protagonist today, Bella Hadid, who has another big move this month:
She will join the Hulu tv series Ramy as an actress and become a guest star in the third season of the show. The series focuses on the secular life of the first generation of Egyptian immigrants in the United States and their spiritual journey – the first two seasons were acclaimed and acclaimed, and what role Bella will play in the new season of "Ramy" and what kind of sparks will collide is still an unsolved mystery.
It is undoubtedly wise to start a new career in a work of excellence that explores culture and race. Although Bella was born in the United States, her mother was a former Dutch model and her father was a Palestinian businessman. As a hybrid, Bella has a darker complexion, a long, angular face, and a highly malleable exotic style.
Speaking of Bella's professional modeling career, this year has entered the eighth year, just look at the resume, it seems to be smooth sailing: signed by IMG, the next year on the Chanel runway, the major luxury brands have almost gone over and over, sometimes the opening or the finale, of course, there are major magazine covers are also in the pocket ... Coupled with the family's reputation, the popularity can be said to be soaring.

But on the one hand, "Internet celebrity supermodels" have huge ability and appeal, on the other hand, they all face the same core problem - can they be called "professional"?
Bella Hadid seems to have received a lot of criticism in this regard, with waves of negative comments: people attacked her for having a Middle Eastern tycoon face at a young age; not only was she paralyzed, but her steps were not passed; her height of 1 meter 74 and the ratio of five or five points were disappointing; even her coffee-colored hair was not so flattering...
In the first few years of the model's debut, Bella has not been optimistic
"Seven years ago I started modeling, and once I couldn't wear Saint Laurent's clothes, the zipper couldn't be pulled, and the stylist would think it was your weight problem, no one would tell you it didn't matter, it was too small, you would just think it was your own reason." 」
Hailey Bieber, a friend of "influencer models" who are also not so well-qualified as supermodels, said in a recent interview: "The opinion of a casting director shook my confidence in walking the overpass. I don't want to feel bad about myself because of this experience, and I have other jobs that I'm very good at. ”

So after a staged runway career, Hailey today has chosen to stay away from work that brings negative experiences to herself, reinforcing positive feedback, and maintaining high self-confidence and motivation, which is undoubtedly a clever and cautious way to cope. But making such a choice does not apply to most people – there is no way back without the support of families and the material basis of family prosperity.
Bella, on the other hand, chose another thorny path: facing the difficulties.
Height and innate proportions can not be changed, Bella stretched where she could work hard, using fitness and diet to adjust the flesh and skin structure of the body: she suggested that people regard the body as their own temple, to observe and take care of their own body, to find their own pace; she maintained smooth lines, straight posture, shoulders and neck, collarbone, abs, calves... As far as the eye can see, it begins to become elegant and toned.
The loose, weak and unstable steps that were criticized in the early years have become precise and powerful scissor steps that are open and closed, and the core is not moving - it is conceivable that Bella has made countless hard work in places where the public cannot see.
Compared with the early Bella steps and later steps, the gap is very obvious
However, the time and effort spent on appearances is not the most painful – Bella has been proficient in equestrianism since childhood, but the Lyme disease she contracted in 2012 made it impossible for her to continue her professional equestrian training. At the same time, physical and mental problems occur continuously, including anxiety, exhaustion, inattention, headaches, and emotional loss of control. She was also diagnosed with a parasitic infection, sometimes at the same time as Lyme disease; at the age of 20, she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism and began hormone replacement therapy, which caused her anorexia over time... "Because of the time in my life, I am still afraid to look in the mirror." ”
The accompanying symptoms of Lyme disease plague Bella with anxiety and depression. Last October, she couldn't help but share her daily life on social media outside of the glossy camera, looking at the sky with a sad look, but still not forgetting to raise her spirits to encourage people who are as sick as her: "It's like a roller coaster, there are ups and downs – but there is always an end to the dark tunnel, there is light there, and the roller coaster always has a moment to stop completely." 」 ”
Bella has been experimenting with a variety of treatments, both physical, psychological, and spiritual, and she wants to explore her deeper spirituality and seek as much help as possible for herself.
During fashion week last year, after 15 working days (she estimates she had 350 working days a year), Bella went to a penn farm and started her daily routine. She gets up early to make smoothies, keep a diary, ride a horse, have lunch with her mother, and visit her relatives. "When you're forced to be perfect in every photo every day, you start to look at yourself and need to see perfection all the time, which is impossible. That month's vacation was really helpful to me. ”
Bella's mental state also influenced her private style of dress: "I haven't had a personal stylist for about two years. I was in a strange state of mind, walking out of my house and dressing myself because I thought I was going to face the paparazzi outside the house. But last year, I finally realized something very important — even if people talk about my style, whether they like it or not, it really doesn't matter — because that's my style. When I leave home every morning, I think, does this make me happy? Am I feeling good? Am I comfortable? ”
This is now Bella's aesthetic style: bella hadid at its core, casual, romantic, traveling, and bohemian confidence.
Visible to the naked eye, Bella has a kind of stubbornness to be herself, an "axis" force, where she falls, where she gets up; to do a line, to do a line of work, to try to do the best she can do - even if the outside world's controversy and rhetoric violence is endless, it will not escape; pain and setbacks accompany her growth, and resistance and resilience are gradually stationed in her body.
Wave after wave of IT GIRLS gradually faded from the public eye, they had a "five-minute" reputation, chose to continue to squander life - and Bella admitted her own shortcomings, the challenges and heartbreaks she faced in life, endured the pain and frustration of pessimism, and still chose to grind all the way, try all the way, and keep walking.
"Everything I do in my personal life now is to make sure my mental state is in a good stable state. Fashion can make you happen, it can ruin you. It will make you successful, and you must also consciously try every day to keep it from crushing you. ”
She is both a young girl and a woman who is becoming stronger, and like so many women in the world, she has many difficult life issues to deal with. In the story of the wandering girl growing into an increasingly determined woman, we can learn from Bella's gorgeous turn, far more than beautiful and moving clothing.
