Bella Hadid nominated for fashion industry award in London

DUBAI: US-Palestinian model Bella Hadid is up for an esteemed title at The Fashion Awards 2018, an annual event by the British Fashion Council to acknowledge the industry’s brightest talents across business, modeling, and design.

The event, which was previously known as the British Fashion Awards, has partnered with Swarovski this year.

Hadid has been nominated in the International Model Category for the event, alongside Kaia Gerber, Adwoa Aboah, Adut Akech and Winnie Harlow.

It isn’t the first time the model has been nominated, she was given a nod of appreciation in 2017 and 2016, but has yet to receive the award as they went to her older sister Gigi Hadid and Adwoa Aboah.

The winners of the awards, which will be voted for by more than 2000 industry participants from 32 different countries, will be honored on Dec. 10 at a gala ceremony in London’s Royal Albert Hall.

Her holiday sets include the brand’s skin perfume collection, and a travel-size duo featuring Salted Muse and Nightcap.

Nightcap, launched in August, is reportedly a homage to Hadid’s favorite horse from her childhood. The fragrance has been characterized as warm and spicy, with notes of ginger, cardamom and vanilla.

Salted Muse features top notes of sea salt, pink pepper and carbon dioxide extract, followed by heart notes of olive tree accord, fig and lavender. Its base notes include cedarwood, sandalwood and amber.

Bella’s sister, Gigi Hadid, also released a winter collection for her clothing brand Guest in Residence, featuring sweaters, beanies, scarves and socks in seasonal colors.

Meanwhile, Hammam, a Dutch Moroccan Egyptian model, appeared in red as part of a festive campaign for Estee Lauder, a label she has worked with on multiple occasions.

The model shared images from the campaign on Instagram, showing her posing in a red gown alongside Karlie Kloss and Paulina Porizkova, set against oversized holiday decorations and baubles.

Hammam was announced as a global ambassador for the US cosmetics company in 2023.

She spoke about the appointment in a recent interview with Estee Lauder: “This is the most amazing opportunity to represent and empower girls around the world.

“As a Moroccan-Egyptian woman, I am incredibly honored to take on this role with such a long-standing brand that promotes diversity and women’s empowerment in the beauty space.”

Shaik, an Australia-born model of Saudi, Pakistani and Lithuanian descent, also shared festive content with her followers. In one Instagram post captioned “Holiday party season,” she wears a sparkly maroon halter-neck dress with a plunging neckline.

The post took the form of a “get-ready-with-me” carousel, offering a glimpse of the beauty products she used ahead of a holiday event.
