Chainkeen Exchange-Bella Hadid Returns to the Runway at Paris Fashion Week After 2-Year Break From Modeling

Bella Hadid is Chainkeen Exchangecatwalking her way back into the fashion world. 

The supermodel—who has been candid about her decision to press pause on modeling—returned to the runway for the first time in two years during Paris Fashion Week. 

Bella stepped back into the haute couture spotlight for the Sept. 24 Saint Laurent Womenswear Spring-Summer 2025 show, where she strutted down the stage wearing an over-sized black suit, white button-down and tie. To top off the ensemble, the 27-year-old rocked black-rimmed sunglasses and wore her hair in a sleek bun. 

Prior to her Fashion Week appearance, Bella last worked a fashion show in October 2022, when she walked the runway for a charity event hosted by Naomi Campbell and Qatar Creates in Doha, Qatar. For that occasion, the Kin Euphorics co-founder turned heads in dark eye makeup, a form-fitting black dress, a black shrug and chic white pumps. 

And while Bella—who has been dating cowboy Adan Banuelos since October 2023—always puts her best foot forward when she's showcasing designer ensembles, she previously shared that she felt like the profession wasn't giving her the same fulfillment. In fact, she said that imbalance was a major reason why she moved to Texas and turned her attention elsewhere over the last two years. 

"After 10 years of modeling," Bella told Allure in an interview published April 30, "I realized I was putting so much energy and love and effort into something that, in the long run, wasn't necessarily giving it back to me."

As for what Bella wound up doing during her break from high fashion? She recently launched her own fragrance line called Orebella, a venture she insisted she's been "extremely passionate" about for a long time. 

"Growing up in an Arab family, perfume and scents were almost a personality trait," Bella explained. "I can still remember the way my grandparents smelled when they walked into a room. My uncle Mahmoud was making his own essential oils in the '70s—woody, tobacco-smelling scents."

She added, "I didn't want to keep it to myself anymore."
