Bella Hadid, the California-raised model, has found happiness in the simple pleasures of life. She spends her days surfing eBay and Depop in search of vintage Prada bags that remind her of her mother. But her life has taken an unexpected turn as she has partially relocated to the Dallas-Fort Worth area, living out her childhood dream of being a horse girl.
In Texas, Hadid has discovered a new sense of self, surrounded by different kinds of cowgirls. Some are glamorous with their hair perfectly styled under their cowboy hats, while others prefer a more laid-back look with messy ponytails as they spend time with their horses. Hadid finds herself somewhere in between, embracing the diversity of cowgirl culture in Texas.
The quiet life in Texas has brought personal growth for Hadid, especially in the year of the horse. She reflects on the importance of trusting her intuition and walking in her truth, allowing herself to grow and understand herself better along the way.
While filming Ryan Murphy’s body-horror series, “The Beauty,” Hadid learned to let go of control and perfectionism, finding beauty in imperfection. Playing the role of Ruby, a supermodel, taught her valuable lessons that she will carry with her for the rest of her life.
Looking ahead, Hadid dreams of diverse acting roles, from action-packed films to romantic comedies. She even expresses interest in starring in a live-action adaptation of the beloved horse-girl animated film, “Spirit.”
But perhaps one of Hadid’s greatest joys is being an aunt to Khai, her niece. Spending a day at Disney Orlando with Khai and her sister Gigi brought immense joy and energy to Hadid’s life. She cherishes the moments she gets to witness her niece experience life, as it brings a new perspective and vitality to her own existence.
In a metaphorical sense, Hadid finds that life itself brings color to her cheeks, just like the blush from Prada Beauty. Embracing the magic of everyday moments and the beauty of imperfection, Hadid continues to evolve and find happiness in the simple pleasures of life.
