Bella Hadid’s Beauty Comeback: PFW SS 2026

The Gist

 Bella Hadid took a few years off from modeling to focus on a life with more balance, love, and simplicity. Her official return to the runway this year was the Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2026 runway. Saint Laurent still remains the hottest brand of the year with sharp tailoring, sculpted silhoutte and a Parisian savoir faire. Rocking a cool blond look, Bella's beauty routine is minimal, fresh and youthful with neutrals and nudes alongside pared cheek blush. Bella, donning her VS angel wings, graced the long awaited Victoria's Secret show in embroidered lace, soft satin and show-stopping  lingerie. Bella's Victoria Secret Show appearance features two iconic looks that sealed her return as the Ultimate IT girl.

Bella Hadid took a few years off from modeling as she wanted to focus on a life with more balance, love, and simplicity. Her official return to the runway was at last year's Paris Fall Fashion Week. This year, Bella returned to the runway for Paris Week SS26, walking for the Saint Laurent Spring/Summer 2026 runway. Before, her runway appearance, Bella had shared hospitalizations and health struggles with her fans which left many doubting if he would return to the spotlight as the leading supermodel. Thing is, How does Bella balance her health and work life through busy times?  More importantly, what does her comeback to the spotlight look like?

Her Health Journey 

Bella Hadid was diagnosed with Lyme disease when she was only 16 years old, and she has been fighting it ever since. With recent popular news stories covering her poor health, it is wonderful to see her back and recovering while also seeing her strut down the Saint Laurent runway during Paris Fashion Week. While she and her family don't publicly dive deep into her diagnosis, they have shared recent pictures of her overcoming her disease and finding ways to push through. However, her mom does mention her curiosity in finding easier ways to keep up with Lyme disease, and how Bella prioritises taking many supplements that were shared through pictures on Yolanda’s Instagram. 

Her family, boyfriend, and friends have been big supporters of her throughout her journey. With the support of her loved ones, she has been able to come back into the spotlight as her sister and close friends are right there with her, offering support and spending quality time. When she is home, she rests with the rest of her family and boyfriend. Constantly being surrounded by love has helped her get back into the spotlight while remaining in good spirits and looking fabulous. 

Her reemergence onto the runway left many fans curious about her health, but also excited to see her stepping out of the shadows.

Paris Fashion Week 2025

She stepped out in Paris and back on the runway, but how can you achieve Bella Hadid’s natural look she served at fashion week? After her recent battle with Lyme disease, it is important for Bella to follow much simpler routines, especially since she had to push through a busy week and a popular runway show. She was rocking her “blonde” hair along with many chic model off-duty outfits, but I couldn't help but notice her gorgeous yet subtle glam. While her sunglasses steal a lot of her look on her face, she has her model off-duty glam, keeping it bronzed and glowy. While many trends like heavily blushed cheeks are seen on her model friends, Bella kept her look more neutral and bronzed with a bare lip. Her simple yet gorgeous look highlights her strength of still looking fabulous while wanting not to spend hours looking glammed up during such a busy week. 

Victoria’s Secret Success 

Her reemergence at this year's Paris Fashion Week left many fans questioning if she would be making back to the sparkly runway in a pair of wings. Luckily, Bella walked in some of the best pieces of the night and looked ethereal in her white floral wings. Still rocking her “bronde” hair, she strutted the runway looking glowy and tanned with a gorgeous side part to her blowout. However,  she caught a lot of attention for looking sad or in pain during her walk on the runway, which left many fans worried. She opened up in a TikTok comment section explaining her lack of enthusiasm while strutting the runway, “Girl, I got my period that morning and my stamina is not up yet after the whole hospital switch, but I tried my best”. Through all of this, she has remained authentic about what’s going on while still putting on a glamorous look and strut for the show. 

Her Fragrance 

While Bella walked around Paris in outfits galore and beautifully subtle makeup, her perfume is what she mainly focuses on through social media. Her new perfume brand, called Orabella, has taken the perfume community by storm as she made an impact on how perfume is made. She has focused on the importance of clean, alcohol free products that step into the skincare realm as they are meant to nourish the skin. With the beautiful packaging and celebrity influence of the brand, it is definitely going to remain popular. If you want to know the special fragrances and smells of models off duty, Orabella might just be the way to fit in the trend. 

The Wrap Up 

Bella Hadid’s  comeback isn’t just a return to the runway. it’s a redefinition of the modern muse who has her share of battles and overcomes them. Her dual presence at Saint Laurent and the Victoria’s Secret Show signals fashion’s shift towards presence and value. As search trends, editorials, and fan culture orbit around her rebirth, one truth becomes clear:  Bella isn’t following fashion’s rhythm anymore; she’s setting it on her own terms. The terms? Rest, Reset, Redominate.
