Bella Hadid Just Debuted a Fashion Week's Worth of Going-Out Dresses—Starring Some Stellar Vintage
She skipped the New York Fashion Week shows and delivered her own with four standout looks in one day.
When Bella Hadid arrived in New York City on Monday, wearing a Coachtopia bag and Ugg boots, Marie Claire editors assumed New York Fashion Week brought her to town. But she didn't attend a single runway show. (Trust us, we would've noticed.) Instead, Hadid debuted an entire Fashion Week's worth of going-out dresses in between brand events with Chopard.
For Hadid, who starred in the Swiss jeweler's 50th anniversary campaign, the final day of NYFW began in a preppy sweater set from Mugler's unreleased Spring/Summer 2027 collection.
Hadid's stylist, Mimi Cuttrell, layered a charcoal gray mini dress over a crisp white button-down. While it's unclear if the identical sweater tied around her waist was attached to the sleeveless style, it featured the same cashmere finish.
Bella Hadid's first going-out dress hailed from Mugler.
Cuttrell and Hadid accessorized the office siren 'fit with a black top-flap bag, a brooch beneath her Oxford shirt's collar, and striped ankle-strap stilettos from Valentino. Her glamorous, Victoria's Secret Fashion Show-ready curls deserve a few finger claps, too.
Hadid then zoomed from the Greenwich Hotel to the Chopard boutique on 5th Avenue. But before the end of her shopping spree, she changed into her second look: a beige mini dress from Valentino's Spring 1996 collection. Without covering the bodice's bow (which created a makeshift empire waistline), Hadid layered a butter yellow jacket on top.
She styled her first vintage find of the day with satin peep-toe mules from La Perla, oversized Prada sunglasses, and a beaded shoulder bag by Badgley Mischka.
Before noon, Hadid changed into a vintage Valentino mini dress.
Once the sun set, it was time for the main event: the anniversary party of Chopard's Happy Diamonds collection, held at the private members' club Casa Cipriani. (Taylor Swift, Serena Williams, and Hadid's sister, Gigi Hadid, are just some of their celebrity clientele.)

The guest of honor arrived in a silver slip dress from Ralph Lauren's Spring 2008 show. Raffe Vintage—an archival boutique beloved by Hailey Bieber, Lili Reinhart, and Brittany Snow—supplied the look, featuring tulle-lined cap sleeves, a V-neckline, and cascading beaded chainmail.
Hadid attended Chopard's party in vintage Ralph Lauren.
Instead of the sheer gloves and asymmetrical sun hat from Ralph Lauren's runway, Hadid frosted herself in champagne-colored satin stilettos, an itty-bitty rhinestone clutch, and no shortage of Chopard sparklers.

After the Chopard soirée, the supermodel's style series migrated to Tribeca. Her vintage Ralph Lauren look traded places with Revolve's $450 Gaspard Mini Dress, featuring a silky cowl neck, an open back, and an asymmetrical lace-trimmed skirt. To finish the after-party 'fit, Hadid toughened up the mini's bridal shade with burgundy pumps.
Hadid ended her night in a $450 mini dress from Revolve.
Did we miss Hadid on the New York Fashion Week runway? Of course, she's always the star of the show. Still, Team Marie Claire is grateful for any Hadid appearances, especially when she's wearing vintage. Even if Hadid RSVPs "no" to Fashion Week showcases in Milan and Paris, here's hoping she has another going-out dress or two up her sleeve.
