What Bella Hadid's 23rd Birthday Was Like: A Public Kendall Jenner Kiss, Pottery Painting, and Flowers From Gigi
Bella Hadid kicked off her 23rd year with a low-key, rainy afternoon birthday celebration in New York City with her friends, mom Yolanda Hadid, sister Gigi Hadid, and brother Anwar Hadid and his girlfriend Dua Lipa. Bella is single right now, so while her on-off boyfriend The Weeknd was photographed out in New York City yesterday, the two were not seen together. They were reported in August to have split but with the potential and "hope" to get back together later.
Bella was showered with love yesterday though: Many friends shared Instagram tributes to her, and Kendall Jenner's made headlines particularly. The model shared a video of her and Bella kissing. "Happy birthday sexy @bellahadid," Kendall captioned the post.
Gigi shared several tributes to Bella on Instagram Story, along with a permanent grid post. Bella reposted one of the stories where Gigi shared a baby photo of them. "Don't look or touch my custom bestie ever again @bellahadid," Gigi wrote. "The truth!!!!!!!" Bella added.
How did Bella's birthday go? She dressed up in a short, belted black outfit with Wolford knee highs, black platform shoes, and Missoma hoop earrings. It was very daytime Matrix-y:
Gigi and Dua Lipa, comparably, were dressed in blue:
Bella had lunch with her family and friends at Sadelle's, and the group also went pottery painting. They wore little birthday hats and had balloons to make the scene look festive and Instagram-friendly. And thankfully, everyone documented the excursions on their Instagram Stories.
Bella was later photographed going out yesterday evening in a high-neck red and yellow print dress.
What did Bella get for her birthday? A pizza cake from Alexander Wang (literally a cake decorated to look like a pizza) and a butterfly flower arrangement from Gigi Hadid, to start. Bella is still updating her Instagram with birthday content so there may be more gift reveals to come.
