Bella Hadid Covers Dazed MENA First Anniversary as Orabella Launches in GCC AOC Fashion

Celebrating its one-year anniversary, Dazed MENA [IG] releases an extra special cover story starring supermodel Bella Hadid. AOC is not out of line to say that Hadid is absolutely beloved in the region, endowed with celebration of Bella’s every move.

With the supermodel being very strategic and precise with her important business moves, fashion runway and media appearances, this DAZED fashion story is Bella Hadid’s first cover in the region in almost a decade. The perfectly-timed event happens as Bella’s beauty brand Orebella launches in the GCC.

Released with two covers, Bella is photographed by Iranian-American photographer Yasmine Diba [IG], her best friend since destiny [perhaps] brought them together in eighth grade in 2009. While private photos are prolific on their IGs, this is their first cover shoot together.

Styled by Ashling Sarveen Massoumi for this story, Hadid is dressed and accessorised solely in Chopard, for whom Bella is a global ambassador, and NY cult label Michael and Hushi, founded by Hushidar Mortezaie and Michael Sears in 1997.

Bella wore her red-and-white keffiyeh dress off-duty, strolling down the Cannes Croisette at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in May, 2024. With photographers everywhere, the designers’ 2001 collection keffiyeh dress became a viral sensation worldwide and is celebrated here by Dazed MENA.
