While filming intense scenes for her latest role in the upcoming FX series The Beauty, Bella Hadid made quite the impression—though not just for her acting chops.
The 28-year-old supermodel was spotted on set in Paris wearing a red leather bralette and skin-tight pants, part of a dramatic motorcycle crash scene.
But it wasn’t the fake blood or action sequence that grabbed everyone’s attention—it was her noticeably slim frame that sparked a flurry of reactions online.
Social Media Reacts: Concern and Criticism Collide
Photos of Bella, shared on the Instagram gossip page DeuxMoi, drew immediate attention and a flood of mixed comments.
Some fans expressed genuine concern about her appearance, with one commenting, “I’m concerned about Bella’s weight. Not trying to be rude.”
Another person added, “This is what happens when your mom tells you to eat a few almonds when you’re hungry,” referencing a well-known anecdote about Bella’s childhood.
Others voiced frustration about returning to ultra-thin body standards in fashion, writing, “I can’t do another round of ‘heroin chic’ and low-rise jeans.”
And while the critiques came fast, so did the defenses.
Supporters clapped back, pointing out the ongoing issue of body shaming.
“It’s 2025 and we’re still judging women’s bodies? Come on.” one fan wrote.
Another echoed, “Why is someone else being skinny so triggering for everyone?”
Bella Speaks Out: “My Body Isn’t Always in My Control”
Bella has previously addressed how her weight has fluctuated over the years, explaining that the changes aren’t always intentional.
In an interview with People, she shared, “I’ve lost weight and gained weight. My body changes a lot, and I didn’t mean to lose weight. I want curves back, but sometimes it’s just not in my control.”
She went on to explain that a strict workout regimen played a role in her transformation.
“I’ve been eating high-protein and working out for three hours a day. It’s intense, but when you stay consistent, results happen,” she said.
Still, she acknowledged how quickly people jump to criticize based on looks alone.
Mental Health, Body Image, and the Fashion Industry
Bella has long been open about her battles with mental health and body image.
Back in 2022, she told i-D Magazine that her issues began at a young age.
“I thought anxiety, crying every day, and feeling out of body was normal,” she said, reflecting on her struggles with disordered eating and dissociation.
Smoking a pack of cigarettes a day at 14 and comparing herself to unrealistic beauty standards were part of what she later recognized as a cry for help.
“I realized what I really needed was therapy,” she admitted.
Speaking with Vogue, Bella also opened up about the harsh realities of modeling.
Despite her success with brands like Dior, Chanel, and Miu Miu, she revealed the mental toll of the industry.
“Waking up with this brain every day—it’s not cute. So everything I do now is about keeping my mental state healthy,” she shared.
“Fashion can make you or break you. And even if it makes you, you have to work every day to not let it break you.”
Battling Lyme Disease and Taking Time Off
In 2023, Bella made the decision to step back from modeling for five months to focus on her health.
She’s been open about her ongoing battle with Lyme disease, sharing updates on Instagram and giving fans a glimpse into her recovery journey.
The break was necessary, and many applauded her honesty and transparency during a time when silence is often the norm.
From Runways to Scripts: Bella’s Acting Ambitions Grow
Bella’s latest acting venture marks a new chapter in her career.
The Beauty, the upcoming FX series, is based on a comic book series by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley.
The show dives into a gripping premise—an STD called “The Beauty” that makes people physically stunning but is ultimately deadly.
Bella stars alongside a high-profile cast that includes Evan Peters, Ashton Kutcher, Rebecca Hall, Jeremy Pope, and Anthony Ramos.
Her character is involved in a dramatic motorcycle crash, and while a dummy was used for the initial impact, Bella performed the post-crash scene herself, lying on the pavement in full costume and fake injuries.
Though the series is still in production, FX has already ordered 11 episodes.
Plot details remain mostly under wraps, but it’s clear this role is Bella’s boldest yet—and possibly her breakout in the acting world.
She’s previously appeared in Ramy and had a role in Yellowstone, but The Beauty could be her biggest on-screen moment so far.
What’s Next for Bella?
With her fragrance line Orebella gaining traction and a major TV series on the way, Bella Hadid is expanding far beyond modeling.
She’s also using her platform to highlight personal struggles and challenge beauty norms—whether people agree with her methods or not.
While the public continues to debate her body and choices, Bella is clearly on her own path—one that includes healing, self-discovery, and a growing presence in Hollywood.
So, what’s next for Bella Hadid? More acting roles? A return to the runway? A memoir, maybe? One thing’s for sure—she’s not slowing down anytime soon.
