Stop what you're doing and pay attention, because #BellaIsBack, and it's nothing to take lightly. Any loyal Bella Hadid fan will tell you that the supermodel has been steering clear of the public eye for quite some time now, so spotting her in New York City outside of her sister Gigi's NoHo apartment on Wednesday is kind of a big deal. No, actually, it's a huge deal. And her impeccable—seriously, no notes—outfit for the occasion only emphasized the moment's importance.
For the rare sighting, Hadid chose a very '90s, model-off-duty type of ensemble, opting for a trench coat, black turtleneck, and stretchy, black flared leggings (or, as I like to refer to them, yoga pants). Accessorizing like a pro as always, she added a checker-print tote-style shoulder bag, F/W 99 Prada boots, and DMY by DMY wire-rim sunglasses. The look appeared effortless and therefore is bound to be copied all across TikTok. But honestly, it wasn't her outfit as a whole that struck me when I first saw photos of it, but just her pants, which I couldn't help but notice would be utterly perfect for flying.
On Bella Hadid: Susamusa Oring Trousers ($85); Prada boots; DMY by DMY Olsen Sunglasses ($225)
The specific style is from the London-based brand Susamusa and made of a comfy jersey fabric that a frequent flyer like myself looks for when planning travel outfits. Even better, they're not just comfortable. Aesthetically speaking, they could easily be worn anywhere straight off the flight. Are you starting to see why I used the word perfect?
Scroll down to shop her exact $85 pants and more travel-friendly bottoms for your next trip to the airport. Throw them on with whatever trench coat and turtleneck you have hanging in your closet, and voilà! You've got Hadid's first look out in what's felt like forever down.
Shop the anti-jeans trend that's Bella Hadid approved and perfect for traveling:
Think about it this way: When your flight's been delayed indefinitely (we've all been there at least once), you can yoga freely in the terminal to calm your mind and get blood flow back in your legs.
Add a trench and switch the sandals to boots, and you've got Hadid's off-duty look.
Prepare to look three inches taller than you actually are in these.
Never sleep on FP Movement. I wear it running, to Pilates and yoga, and for HIIT workouts. Basically, it's perfect for every type of workout.
If you've never owned fleece-lined leggings and you live in a cold climate, this is your sign to buy a pair. They're life changing.
I've been eyeing these for months. I love the dramatic flare.
"These are so soft, flattering, and can be dressed up or down," said one happy customer at Nordstrom.
If you prefer cropped jeans to full-length ones, follow the same protocol with flared leggings.
Don't you just love when a trend you're eyeing happens to be on sale? Same.
These are slightly wider than other pairs but equally perfect for flying.
These and a giant cashmere sweater—what could be better for a 10-hour flight plus a two-hour layover?
Commando makes the most luxe basics for everyday, these flared leggings included.
This pant style really does go with every type of footwear.
These is Hadid's exact pair.
The extra-high rise on this pair is calling my name.
These are great because of how easily they can go from looking super casual to extremely put together and chic.
