Fashion may be fickle, but Bella Hadid is nothing if not consistent when it comes to pushing style boundaries. At a time when many are ready to call time on the sheer trend, the model and fashion muse just delivered a masterclass in making it feel fresh again—this time not on the red carpet, but on the sidewalks of New York. Her latest look blends casual with subversive, reinforcing her role not only as a model but as a cultural style architect who continues to influence how we interpret
“everyday luxury”
Spotted in the city that never sleeps, Hadid stepped out in a semi-transparent brown ME+EM off-shoulder top, the delicate fabric folding gently over her collarbone and shoulders—a sophisticated take on the peekaboo aesthetic. She tucked the ethereal piece into a pair of high-waisted, ripped-knee blue jeans, cinched with a rugged brown belt. The look struck a perfect balance between effortlessness and intent: a reminder that luxury lifestyle doesn’t always need sequins or couture—sometimes, it’s all in the styling.
Keeping the tonal story cohesive, Bella layered on a distressed brown leather jacket she’s been seen in previously, proving the power of wardrobe repetition when it’s done with intention. Her pointy-toe heels shimmered subtly beneath the denim, while frameless black sunglasses and bold, statement jewelry—including a standout Frasier Sterling bangle—added punctuation marks to the ensemble. Altogether, it was a look that said: sheer isn’t just for the runway—it’s for the rhythm of real life.
Of course, Hadid is no stranger to the trend. At the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, she stunned in what Voke Magazine aptly crowned “the naked dress to end all naked dresses”—a barely-there Saint Laurent masterpiece that blurred the line between sculpture and skin. And at Paris Fashion Week, she again stole the show in a lace-forward indigo number, followed by a sheer black bodycon ensemble that shimmered with ‘80s seduction. These moments weren’t just fashion—they were cultural flashpoints.
But what makes Bella’s latest streetwear look so relevant is that it isn’t about making headlines—it’s about making sheer wearable again. In a post-pandemic world where fashion must juggle digital virality and tactile authenticity, Hadid offers the blueprint: a way to bring sensual, sheer dressing into the everyday without sacrificing elegance or ease.
At Voke Magazine, we’ve long tracked the evolution of fashion’s see-through fixation—from fashion tech runways to intimate red carpet interpretations. But Bella Hadid’s latest spin reminds us that trends don’t die—they evolve. And sometimes, all it takes is a well-worn jacket, a barely-there blouse, and the confidence to wear them like they were meant to be seen.
