In recent weeks, Bella Hadid has been a chameleon of style, experimenting with one look after another. From bold rodeo-inspired outfits with buckle details to a relaxed, nostalgic look with black jeans and an iconic Coach bag that had serious “Meg Ryan in 1998” energy, Bella’s been on a fashion roll. Each look seems like an expression of a different mood, vibe, or tribute to a fashion era, and fans have been loving it.

But Bella took a new approach at Hailey Bieber’s Rhode Barrier Butter launch party—a night that required something sophisticated, classy, and a little more refined. For the occasion, Bella showed up in a stunning vintage-inspired outfit, channeling an old Hollywood vibe that looked timeless yet fresh. She wore a wrap-style mini dress with a fitted bodice, tailored to hug her figure just right, and a flouncy skirt that gave her an extra touch of movement and flair. If there was any doubt that this was vintage-inspired, a closer look would reveal Valentino tags—a nod to her love for the archives.
The event itself was a small, intimate dinner hosted at Funke restaurant in Los Angeles, and it brought together a who’s-who of the fashion and beauty world. Bella joined Hailey’s inner circle of “It-girls,” including Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner, each bringing their own stylish flair to the evening. The dinner celebrated the launch of Hailey’s latest skincare product, Rhode Barrier Butter, which aims to provide deep hydration and moisture protection.
Bella’s dress wasn’t the only element that turned heads. To top off the look, she added a Saint Laurent bomber jacket, which she draped over her shoulders like a leather cape for part of the evening, and then later carried nonchalantly over her arm. This styling touch added a bit of off-duty model coolness to the whole outfit, giving it a casual edge.
She completed her look with pointed-toe, kitten-heel pumps adorned with cute bow details, adding a ladylike, vintage charm that elevated the ensemble even further. Her hair was styled in a sleek blowout with a deep side part, accentuating the retro vibe she was going for.
Once inside, Bella and the other guests were treated to Rhode-themed goodies, including rolls branded with the Rhode logo, adding a personal touch to the dining experience. Flowers were arranged throughout the space, creating a lush, cozy atmosphere. Hailey Bieber, the woman of the night, made her entrance in an extra-oversize pinstripe suit paired with a tie—giving a nod to her edgy, modern approach to style, and a reminder that she’s more than just a beauty brand founder; she’s also a trendsetter in her own right.
