Bella is fast following in the footsteps of her model sister, Gigi Hadid, who’s a regular on the international runway circuit.

Since signing with IMG in 2014, Bella has graced the catwalks of highbrow brands including Chanel and Givenchy.

Last month, she scooped up the coveted ‘Model of the Year’ title at the Daily Front Row Awards, proving her popularity in the industry.

“I was here last year with no makeup on, supporting my sister as her little sister,” the 19-year-old said at the time. “It’s crazy to be here a year later winning this award, because I worked really hard this year, but I didn’t think I’d be sitting in front of you.” She paused. “You guys are really scary right now. I might pee my pants … but I’m not wearing pants.”

But it hasn’t always been smooth sailing for Hadid, who is currently suffering from Lyme disease.

“Bella had to give up her lifelong dream of having a professional riding career and a shot at the Olympics due to her severe symptoms and inability to ride,” explained her mother, Yolanda Foster.

"This was the biggest heartbreak of her life and an extremely sensitive subject for her.

"She is resilient and focused on a new direction—she’s made a name for herself in the modelling industry while she struggles with symptoms of chronic Lyme disease every day.”
