Bella Hadid has officially swapped high heels for cowboy boots, and she’s thriving.
The 28-year-old supermodel stunned fans as she embraced her new cowgirl lifestyle over the weekend at a horse show in Fort Worth, Texas, where she showcased her equestrian skills alongside her cowboy boyfriend Adan Banuelos.
Dressed in beige chaps, a checked shirt, and a white cowboy hat, Bella looked every bit the natural as she competed with confidence and poise.
While it may surprise fashion followers, Bella’s love for horses runs deep – she trained in equestrianism in her youth and rekindled that passion in recent years. In fact, she was recently crowned the 2024 NCHA LAE Rookie of the Year, a prestigious title in the world of cutting horse competitions.
Her relationship with Banuelos, a respected figure in the cutting community, went public on Valentine’s Day 2024, when she called him "My Valentine" on Instagram. Since then, the duo have been inseparable, both in the arena and in life. At the show, the couple was seen riding out hand-in-hand, symbolizing not just a partnership in love, but in sport.
Hadid’s move to Texas marks a major lifestyle shift – and a temporary step back from the fashion industry. In an interview, she revealed, "For the first time now, I'm not putting on a fake face... If I don't feel good, I take time for myself."
Beyond the saddle, Bella is also making strides in business. She recently launched Orebella, a perfume line focused on skin-safe, oil-based scents, inspired by her own battles with skin sensitivity.
From Versace runways to rodeo rings, Bella Hadid is redefining what it means to be a modern woman – one who’s not afraid to ride off into a brand-new chapter.
