See Bella Hadid Channel Late Summer in a Skintight Cutout Dress and Wet Hair

Summer may be over, but Bella Hadid has just started showcasing her vacation wardrobe.

The model shared a new set of images from her recent tropical getaway to the Cayman Islands; in a sunset photo shoot, Hadid models a sultry party look while standing on an oceanside balcony. The star’s slinky outfit included a skintight black minidress by Buci, which featured a strapless sweetheart neckline, an ab-baring cutout that ended below her belly button, a backless silhouette held together with a bow, and luminescent flower-shaped button on the chest. Her only accessories were a pair of orange beaded bracelets and a black anklet, and she wore her hair in a curly wet look.

“August 2023,” she captioned the post.

The first pics from the star’s getaway were seen last month, when her longtime friend Fanny Bourdette-Donon, of Dior Beauty, shared fashion-filled snaps of their holiday. In addition to a pic of Hadid during the same sunset shoot, the carousel included a moment when the pair channeled Greek-goddess energy in coordinating white dresses.

The Kin Euphorics founder wore a body-hugging halterneck gown from Meshki, which featured razor-thin spaghetti straps and a plunging circular cutout on the torso. She accessorized the dreamy look with pearl chandelier earrings and bedazzled arm cuffs. Meanwhile, Bourdette-Donon opted for a slinky ivory gown with twisted asymmetrical sleeves.

Hadid recently returned to modeling after taking a brief hiatus to recover from Lyme disease treatment. The supermodel opened up about the health scare in a series of vulnerable Instagram posts in early August.

“One thing I want to express to you all is that 1: I am okay and you do not have to worry, and 2: I wouldn’t change anything for the world,” she wrote. “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.”
