Bella Hadid has been named "the most fashionable person on earth" by GQ UK, which has picked the supermodel from a list of annual celebrity trendsetters including Harry Styles, Jaden Smith, Kim Kardashian and Lil Nas X.
"Men's clothing, women's clothing, streetwear, workwear, smart wear, wave clothing. Few people can wear it. But Bella Hadid can," the magazine said, highlighting her sense of fashion when wearing menswear.
"Hadid is better at wearing men's clothing than most men – she can still wear anything," Britain's GQ said in an article published Wednesday. "Tailor. Prada loafers. Large denim jacket. It even tied at one point. It is wavy, classic and simple at the same time.
Hadid is the sister of supermodel Gigi Hadid, 27, and the second daughter of Palestinian-Jordanian property developer Mohammed Hadid, as well as former model and reality TV star Yolanda Hadid. She started modeling at the age of 16 and has since appeared on the cover of international Vogue magazine 27 times.
She also broke the record for the most Vogue September covers held by model Doutzen Kroes in a single year in 2017, when she appeared on the covers of editions in China, Spain, Brazil, Australia and Arabia. Today, Hadid, along with his sister Gigi, is one of the highest-paid models in the world, earning about $19 million, according to Forbes.

She also eagerly used her reputation for activism, especially for the Palestinian cause, and said she regretted not growing up in Muslim culture. Her father, Mohammed, and his family were among those who left Palestine during the 1948 catastrophe. Hadid's parents broke up when she was four.
In April, Hadid spoke out on Instagram against Israel's attack on the Al-Aqsa mosque and accused the social media platform of "shadow banning" her story. She also used Instagram to promote a small Palestinian business in the United States, sharing photos inside an independent New York record store owned by Palestinian businessman Jamal Alnasr, encouraging her Instagram followers to visit. Hadid, who is due to make her Emmy debut on the Emmy-winning drama "Rammy," also spoke about the personal and professional price she has paid to support Palestine.
The GQ fashion list also includes Justin Bieber, Chris Pine, Zendaya, Lizo, Dua Lipa, Daniel Kalua, Zoe Kravitz and Austin Butler, among others. According to the magazine, the annual list pays tribute to "those who make the world wilder, crazier and happier."
