In 2016, she snagged "Model of the Year" honors from Models.com, men's magazine GQ, and at the Second Annual Fashion Awards in Los Angeles hosted by The Daily Front Row. In December 2017, Models.com readers crowned her Model of the Year once again, earning her the prestigious "Model of the Year Industry Awards."

The media crowned her the queen of the Cannes red carpet. She wowed fashion lovers in a show-stopping red gown in 2016 and an equally jaw-dropping nude creation in 2017, both crafted by French designer Alexandre Vauthier.

Childhood and Family

The future supermodel was born on October 9, 1996, in Los Angeles to Yolanda Hadid, a Dutch former model, and Mohamed Hadid, a Palestinian born in Nazareth who immigrated to the US at age 14. He's a multimillionaire real estate developer known for creating luxury mansions and hotels throughout Los Angeles and Beverly Hills. His net worth in 2023 was estimated at $200 million.

Following her parents' 2000 divorce and her father's remarriage, she gained two half-sisters, Alana and Marielle. In 2012, her mother joined the cast of reality hit "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills." From 2011 to 2017, her mother was married to musician and producer David Foster.

In her teenage years, Bella lived with her family on a ranch in Santa Barbara. She was passionate about horseback riding and dreamed of competing in the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics. However, she had to abandon that dream after being diagnosed with Lyme disease, which also struck her mother and brother. The tick-borne disease may have been contracted through her equestrian activities.
