During Milan Fashion Week, Bella Hadid promoted the Italian launch of her fragrance brand Orebella by adopting the elegant Sciura style of Milanese women. She wore vintage outfits that highlighted the city's glamorous fashion traditions. Hadid also discussed her approach to work and health in a recent interview.
Bella Hadid, the model and actor, appeared in Milan to celebrate the Italian launch of her fragrance brand Orebella. Outside Douglas in Milan, she greeted crowds wearing a chic cream 1995 Gianni Versace-era skirt suit featuring a collar, buttons, and a knee-length skirt with simple pleats. The outfit was sourced from Paris by Raffe Vintage and styled by Mimi Cuttrell, who added large dark oval sunglasses, a white and black piped clutch bag, a resin Alice band, and Dalmatian print peep-toe Manolo Blahnik mules from The Vintage Marché. She carried her latest Vogue Italia cover under her arm.
Later, at an Orebella brunch event, Hadid wore a silky pale lilac and cream Thierry Mugler blazer and skirt with structured shoulders, lapels, a nipped-in resin buckle waist, and an ankle-length column skirt with a singular slit. Accessories included silvery dotted Manolo Blahnik pumps sourced by Lili Aghaei of The Vintage Marché and long drop diamond earrings by Chopard. Her makeup by Nadia Tayeh was bronzed and glowy, complemented by a wavy voluminous supermodel blowout with bangs swept to the side by Syd Hayes.
These looks marked a shift from her recent appearances. The day before, Hadid launched her first design collaboration with the 1990s denim brand Miss Sixty, wearing an elongated bootleg jean, a structured nipped-in waist jacket, a white rollneck sweater, and Anonymous Copenhagen pumps. On Instagram, she shared an image in an icy blue and brocade vintage Dior gown with sheer cut-outs and fringe details from the 1998 spring summer Galliano-era collection, previously worn by Nicole Kidman and sourced by Raffe Vintage. The gown matched the Orebella fragrance bottle.
The Sciura style, as described, involves elegant Milanese women in leopard prints, Sophia Loren sunglasses, gemstone jewelry, jewel tone blazers, pencil skirts, pumps, and sometimes elegant leather gloves.
In an interview with Vogue Italia, Hadid reflected on her career: “The way that I worked for many years was not sustainable. I think that, you know, even during COVID I continued to work.” She added, “Being able to be in Texas with my horses and my dog, having a real life, and then going back to work makes it more fulfilling.” On her Lyme disease treatment last year, she said, “Now I know that if I’m able to say ‘No,’ even going through my [Lyme disease] treatment last year and having to say no to every job for almost a year, which I cried about…I was emotional because you feel disposable.”
