Bella Hadid is the absolute queen of throwback fashion, but she holds this title because she always knows how to give retro styles a modern spin and make them look completely fresh. One trend we never thought anyone would be able to pull off again — yes, Bella included — is the high-waisted bodysuit, which enjoyed fame (more like infamy) back in the ‘80s and early 1990s. The suit is a complete deviation from ‘50s-inspired low-waisted swimsuits that reigned supreme the last few years and it requires a bit of bravery and styling know-how to pull off. Luckily, Bella has both of these qualities in abundance and is paving the way by showing us look after look that includes bodysuits cut high on the leg styled with some of the latest must-have trends. We never expected to see high-cut bodysuits like this — but Bella Hadid’s is so chic!

The beauty of the high-cut bodysuit is that it offers just a sliver of skin in the most unexpected place, yet you can completely cover up with baggy trousers, a high neckline, and long sleeves to create balance. Bella shows us just how to achieve this kind of minimalist harmony in her latest Miss Sixty 30th anniversary campaign, where she is styled by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson in a long-sleeve black bodysuit with a high neck and flare-bottom gray denim pants that feature a unique peek-a-boo criss-cross design on the hips. Her makeup is very minimal — a bit of bronzer and a metallic lip makes this look pop — and also notable is that Bella is not wearing her trademark accessories. The effect is phenomenal: she looks fresh and chic.

Maybe you’re not a minimalist at heart and still want in on the high-cut bodysuit trend — never fear, Bella has a look for that, too. In another Instagram post, the model appeared in a pretty complex light blue bodysuit with a number of cut-outs throughout it and a super high leg that she paired with low-waisted light two-tone denim pants and blue Miu Miu thong heels. Instead of keeping things basic here, Bella piled on the accessories — including beaded bracelets, oversized gold rings, and the ultimate ‘90s throwback: butterfly clips in her hair. This look isn’t tame, but it’s the perfect going-out-to-meet-friends-for-drinks style that will capture all of the attention. 

 


With Bella way ahead of the trend game, will you feel inspired to give the high-cut bodysuit a spin?
