Another day, another top tier outfit that Bella Hadid has so graciously served us with.
From Bella's pink plaid sets and barely-there eyebrows to her diamond dental gem, the supermodel has truly grown into her vintage-meets-sportswear style over the years. Her red carpet looks are goddess-level, (like the lung-shaped Schiaparelli necklace she wore as a top at the Cannes film festival) but her everyday looks are really where her personal taste shines. Bella often takes to Instagram to show off her OOTD’s, and her most recent photo dump is so good that it has a reconsidering our spring wardrobes.
Bella posted a series of photos of herself, (and then was spotted around New York City) wearing a white rib-knit tank top and loose army green cargo pants that are belted tightly at the waist. Her tank top features an intricate woven back, and is topped off with a trend that’s turning out to be a major celebrity favorite right now — arm warmers.
Dua Lipa previously rocked the arm warmer trend in glove form, but Bella’s arm warmers come by the way of a teeny-tiny, shrunken Heaven by Marc Jacobs cardigan with a hemline cropped to her clavicle. The top is so short that it's practically all arms, with knit sleeves that button up to a crew neckline in an array of colors from navy to bright red to the lavender shade that has been so popular in 2022. Bella’s top feels like a trendy version of your grandpa’s favorite knit sweater, which we’re so here for. The model paired chunky round-toe shoes, sporty rectangular sunglasses, a statement ring, and an orange leather Miu Miu bag with her look.
Olivia Rodrigo and Emma Chamberlain have both been seen wearing the exact same Heaven by Marc Jacobs top, so if their style preferences and Bella Hadid's street looks are any indicator, the shrunken micro-cardi could truly be the next evolution of the glove trend (Y2K fingerless gloves, '80s arm warmers, and opera-style regency gloves have all seen a resurgence within the past year).
