Bella Hadid's latest outfit is a study in monochromatic dressing done well. On Dec. 11, the model was spotted leaving her hotel in New York City wearing a black-on-black ensemble that layered a range of textures in lieu of varying colors.

Conscious of the cold weather, she made sure to bundle up in a structured black single-breasted coat and a long matching scarf. Underneath her cozy winter essentials, however, she wore the kind of outfit you might select if you're headed to a holiday party directly after work. Her black cowl-neck blouse, for instance, was emblematic of every woman's favorite going-out top. The cropped shirt fell just short of her low-rise leather biker pants, which gave the illusion of a split hem with adjustable zippers at the ankle.

Both her big croc-embossed bag and her black belt with gold hardware came courtesy of Saint Laurent. Hadid's artist-and-muse friendship with current creative director Anthony Vaccarello is well-documented. In September, the model broke her two-year hiatus from Paris Fashion Week to walk in the designer's Spring 2025 runway show wearing a crisp black power suit.

As usual with Bella's street style, however, the intrigue really lies in the smaller details. Her pointy black office siren boots peeked out from beneath her rocker-chic leather trousers in a nod to the year's defining boot trends. Her milky pale pink manicure spoke to the lasting impact of summer's bubblebath nail trend, which was popularized by the likes of Meghan Markle and Zendaya. Her rippled gold croissant hoops, on the other hand, felt decidedly Hailey Bieber-coded.

It wouldn't be a Bella Hadid outfit without a couple of quirky curveball accessories. Here, she's gone with another pair of sexy librarian Bayonetta frame glasses in an homage to the early 2000s and a festive black velvet scrunchie for a Copenhagen Fashion Week-inspired twist. How very Scandi It Girl of her!

Hanna Lustig is a staff writer at Marie Claire, where she gets to gab every day about the topics she holds most dear: fashion, beauty, and celebrity. Hanna’s editorial journey began with formative internships at Elle and InStyle, where she was lucky enough to work for some of the smartest women in media while she was still in college at the University of Tennessee. Hanna then accepted a digital culture reporting fellowship at Insider, where she helped carve out a new beat dedicated to covering influencers. Those experiences later served her well as a staff writer at Glamour, where she developed a knack for spinning quick turnaround celebrity news and trend reporting into juicy feature stories. Some of her greatest hits include an earnest ode to the no-pants trend, this meticulously reported feature exploring the rise of endoscopic facelifts, this snappy take on the Chanel-designed fantasy of Sofia Richie’s wedding, this tribute to WAGs past and present, and this timeline of Katie Holmes’s life and career as told through her denim collection.

Diane Keaton once hung up on Hanna during an interview, but thankfully that mishap did not derail what has otherwise been a deeply fulfilling career writing for and about women. As one of Marie Claire's resident experts on style and culture, her current coverage ranges from exploring TikTok's contrast makeup theory and the return of the boat shoe trend to interviews with costume designers for hit shows like Nobody Wants This and The Penguin. When she’s not at work, Hanna can probably be found listening to pop music, talking to her dog, and gossiping with her best friends.
