Around the time of her modeling debut, Bella Hadid dyed her blonde hair brown as a way to differentiate herself from her older sister, model Gigi Hadid. Now, Bella has returned to her natural hair color, and the transformation makes her look...a lot like Gigi. Bella shared two photos on her Instagram Story of herself with the new blonde locks from her V magazine shoot. It's unclear yet whether this is a temporary change for the editorial or a more permanent one. But blonde or brunette, Bella looks good:
Bella has shared photos before of herself as a kid with blonde hair:
She also has been going progressively light with her hair color. Back in March, Hadid first debuted a lighter, dirty blonde hair color, as Page Six pointed out. "Back to dirty blonde, back to my roots ! Per @mertalas wishes 💫," she captioned her Instagram unveiling the hair.
That new hue was on full display at the Cannes Film Festival in May, particularly when she had her light ends up in a bun during the premiere of Pain and Glory:
Hair changes aside, Bella has had a quiet summer. Aside from the CFDA Fashion Awards and the Versace fashion show during Milan Men's Week, Bella hasn't been out on many red carpets or runways. She and her boyfriend The Weeknd also haven't been photographed together on any dates.
Things will likely pick up for Bella and Gigi in September, when New York Fashion Week kicks off the spring/summer 2020 runway shows. New York will feature the first shows from September 5 to September 13, and then the events will move to London, Milan, and ultimately Paris. Fashion month will end on October 1.
