Western style was a major trend throughout 2024, driven by Beyonce's penchant for country (both musically and fashion-wise). Earlier this year, Bella Hadid donned a Canadian tuxedo and leaned into the cowgirl aesthetic that has swept the nation, even finding a rodeo star boyfriend. In recent months, Hadid has been inundated with high-glamour moments: lingerie-like bustier dresses, micro-mini skirts and platform loafers, sheer Saint Laurent dresses at Cannes. But now she's back on the horse, so to speak.

Yesterday, the model and founder of Orêbella fragrance posted a long series of photos documenting her horseback riding and her western-inspired outfit. Hadid wore medium-wash boot-cut jeans, cowboy boots with spur, a brown braided leather belt with silver studs and a large "Super Stakes Classic" buckle, an oatmeal-colored muscle tank with ties at the front, and a a baseball cap on a horse. In other photos, he wears a cream-colored cowboy hat, replaces his top with a bright white ribbed tank, and wears mismatched rings and gold jewelry.

Once off the horse, Hadid has been busy. A photo shoot for Saint Laurent's Fall 2024 collection and the accompanying announcement that Hadid will be the new face of the French fashion house marked her grand return to modeling (prior to that, it had been almost 10 months since she had appeared in a fashion campaign). Her last shoot was last September, when she transformed into a bald robot for Marc Jacobs' AW23 collection "Heaven by Marc Jacobs"). She also started a new business called Orêbella, a fragrance line.

Hadid had previously "stepped back" from modeling to focus on her health; in an interview with Allure magazine, she explained that the industry was taking a physical and emotional toll on her. She said, "After ten years of modeling, I realized that I was putting a lot of energy, love, and effort into something that, in the long run, would not necessarily come back to me."
