Bella Hadid, the 26-year-old model, recently graced Instagram with a visually captivating lavender-field photoshoot, turning heads and evoking imagery reminiscent of a Monet painting or perhaps the inspiration behind a certain Olivia Rodrigo ballad.
On October 6, Hadid shared a series of ethereal photos, some of which featured her topless amidst the lavender blooms, with strategically placed bouquets preserving her modesty. In other snaps, she elegantly wore a silky white shirt and lacy underwear. The caption accompanying the images read, “Little miss lavender TM,” accentuated by a purple heart emoji.
Adding to the dreamlike quality of the photos, Hadid donned a silver butterfly necklace, enhancing the artistic allure of her ensemble, which seemed to nod to the aesthetics of Olivia Rodrigo’s music. One might be tempted to cue up Rodrigo’s “Lacy” while admiring the pictures.
Notably, Bella Hadid has been gradually reemerging on social media after taking a hiatus from both the platforms and her modeling career to prioritize her health. Diagnosed with Lyme disease in 2012, she recently underwent an intensive series of treatments to address the chronic tick-borne illness, which had led to flare-ups and a low-grade jaw infection, affecting her self-esteem. On August 6, Hadid shared a candid update on Instagram, reflecting on “15 years of invisible suffering.”
Living with this condition and dealing with its progression while striving to bring pride to herself, her family, and her supporters took a significant toll on her, as she explained in the caption of an Instagram post that included a slideshow of medical reports spanning years. She reassured her fans not to be concerned about her and affirmed her return when she feels ready.
In the same post, Hadid articulated, “I wouldn’t change anything for the world. If I had to go through all of this again, to get here, to this exact moment I’m in right now, with all of you, finally healthy, I would do it all again. It made me who I am today.” Her journey serves as an inspiring testament to resilience and the pursuit of well-being.
