Soft Power Dressing, According to Bella Hadid

Between takes on the set of Ryan Murphy’s The Beauty, Bella Hadid stepped onto the streets of Paris not just as an actress in transformation—but as a master of wardrobe tension. Her latest off-duty look proves that style impact can stay low-key. Sometimes, it’s the interplay of opposites—hard and soft, sharp and fluid—that makes the most memorable statement.

Hadid wore an oversized black leather bomber, vintage in feel and distressed just enough to suggest rebellion. Brown contrast piping softened the silhouette, adding dimension without breaking its edge. Underneath, a ruched chocolate top hugged close—unexpectedly delicate in texture, grounding the look in warmth and subtle movement.

Her high-waisted black leather trousers provided structure and shine, playing against the softness of the top and the jacket’s slouch. The entire ensemble walked the line between strength and sensuality—a study in controlled contrasts.

Accessories continued the conversation: a Gucci Bamboo 1947 bag in black leather, thoughtfully wrapped in a red silk twill scarf bearing the house’s Flora print. A small gesture, but one that infused softness, color, and a touch of romance. Slim, rectangular sunglasses channeled Hadid’s signature 90s minimalism, while silver teardrop earrings added polish without competing for attention.

This look isn’t an outlier—it’s part of a consistent narrative Hadid’s been building all week. From a tailored leather blazer over a structured vest and crop top to studded Ludovic de Saint Sernin trousers paired with a fluid backless top and an avant-garde Diesel handbag, her recent wardrobe choices in Paris show a clear commitment to balance. It’s not just about the statement piece—it’s about how every element plays off the next.

In a season where extremes often dominate, Hadid is offering something more refined: a layered take on power dressing that values duality over dominance. The leather is still there—bold, sculptural, and present—but it’s tempered with soft silhouettes, fluid fabrics, and thoughtful detail.

And that’s the real power here. Not just in breaking rules, but in rewriting them with restraint.
