Bella Hadid has quickly fit into the famed California Catwalk Club.
But the Dior Beauty model told InStyle magazine her friendship with queen of the exclusive club, Kendall Jenner, is nothing new. The two have been friends for seven years.
‘I met her for the first time seven years ago over Twitter. That was before we started modeling. I was probably 14 or 15. We met up and had sushi, and now we’re best friends. She’s a pretty significant human I met online,’ said the stunning brunette whose sister is blonde Vogue model Gigi Hadid.
The other member in the club are Hailey Baldwin.
All of these women became famous at the same time and are dominating the modeling industry.
But Bella told the fashion magazine that it is not all rainbows and unicorns at the top.
She has a hard time with social media haters.
‘Imagine that somebody is telling you that you’re a piece of s*** every day on social media. You kind of feel like, “Well, am I a piece of sh—?” You don’t really know,’ she said.
What bothers her most is when ‘people will judge me for things I can’t change.’ And she says she sometimes wants to go to a hater’s home in Missouri and tell her: ‘I promise, I’m a nice person! We could be friends! It doesn’t have to be like this!’
Bella is not your typical model. Before she hit the catwalk she was an equestrian heading for the Olympics.
But a bout of Lyme disease sidelined her (she now takes 30 pills a day and gives herself two shots a day)
When Gigi, 22, asked if she wanted to try modeling she did, and she was snapped up quickly by an agent.
And she said that her success in modeling has allowed her to be ‘independent.’
‘I’m not saying I don’t love my job, but people think modeling is a bulls*** thing to become more famous,’ she said.
‘I was 100 percent independent by the time I was 18, and I paid for my own apartment. That wasn’t because of my parents. I worked my a** off for two years.’
As far as partying, she says she has gotten it out of her system.
‘When I was 16, 17 I went out and did the whole thing…Now I feel like a grandma. I’ll go out occasionally, but I’d rather go to work and have 100 percent energy, because I barely have enough to get through the day as it is,’ she remarked.
