Since Bella Hadid set off for Texas, where she moved to embrace the slower pace of western life (and to be closer to cowboy boyfriend Adán Banuelos), it’s rare to spot the 28-year-old on the coasts. These days, it seems, she only returns to New York or Los Angeles for work.
That was the case on August 13, when she touched down in her native LA to promote her latest Orebella fragrance. The model was photographed in a minimalist and elegant evening look while on her way to dinner.
The lady-like outfit—consisting of a square-neck, mid-sleeve, calf-length bodycon dress paired with mesh stilettos and nineties-style sunglasses—is not only super seductive, but timeless, too.

The star of the show? Hadid’s Valentino Garavani Panthea bag in black nappa leather, with a chevron pattern and feline head detail at the straps. The bag, from creative director Alessandro Michele, is currently only available for pre-order on the fashion house’s website.
The boydcon silhouette looks a little different than the bandage dresses of yore thanks to its jersey fabric, which hugs more than it constricts. If you buy just one LBD this season, might we suggest following Hadid’s lead, and purchasing a slinky, calf-length option? A single flashy accessory—like the supermodel’s gold cuff, worn high on her forearm–and a statement bag is all you need for a timeless going-out look.
Bella Hadid was joined for dinner by besties Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber, who definitely seemed to get the monochromatic memo. All three women wore different takes on the bodycon silhouette, so if that tells you anything, it’s that clingy and calf-length is so in for fall 2025.
