This year, 25-year-old fashion supermodel Bella Hadid is often criticized by netizens, comparing her childhood photos to her current ethereal beauty, implying that her beauty is not natural. In the face of various accusations in the past, Bella chose to deny, but recently she finally admitted to having undergone plastic surgery in an interview with a fashion magazine, while also revealing her mindset before and after the surgery. The original intention was to encourage girls who lack confidence in their appearance, but unexpectedly, it led to her mother and sister being attacked by netizens.
Bella Hadid recently stated in an interview that she used to be compared to her sister Gigi Hadid, and was often told she wasn’t as pretty as her sister since she was young. Due to a lack of confidence in her appearance and insecurity, she underwent a nose job at the age of 14. However, Bella emphasized that she only had a nose job at that time and did not add any unnatural fillers to her face.
That being said, Bella now regrets her decision and expresses that she should have preserved her natural features to appreciate and accept herself. With this statement, the public began to criticize her mother Yolanda, unanimously believing that Yolanda should not have allowed a 14-year-old girl to undergo plastic surgery, nor should she have let Bella grow up in a comparative environment that would affect her self-confidence and identity.
Actually, as early as 2019, Yolanda Hadid was already on a reality show, advising Gigi Hadid to diet because the fashion industry generally prefers thin girls. Yolanda’s comments at the time also sparked criticism, saying that she instilled wrong values in Gigi and Bella. However, some netizens believe that without Yolanda’s strict advice, the two sisters who were determined to become models would not have made a name for themselves in the competitive modeling industry in a short period of time.
Although Bella now regrets her youthful ignorance, she indirectly admits that this lack of confidence was actually a kind of motivation for her. Because of her lack of confidence in her appearance, she worked even harder to prove herself in her modeling career, never being late or missing a job, and putting in extra effort to show her worth. It’s hard to believe that the always sexy and bright fashion supermodel in front of the camera has always lacked a heart that loves and believes in herself. Now, as Bella, who has become an international supermodel through her own efforts, conveys the importance of accepting imperfections to girls through her personal experience. As long as you work hard to believe in yourself, the criticisms and comparisons of others will not hinder you from shining brightly.
