Bella Hadid has recently talked about how being compared to her sister and fellow supermodel Gigi Hadid has impacted her. In a Vogue cover story for the fashion magazine’s April 2022 issue, Bella admitted, “I was the uglier sister. I was the brunette. I wasn’t as cool as Gigi, not as outgoing. That’s really what people said about me.”
“And unfortunately when you get told things so many times, you do just believe it,” she added. The model continues, “I always ask myself, how did a girl with incredible insecurities, anxiety, depression, body-image issues, eating issues, who hates to be touched, who has intense social anxiety, what was I doing getting into this business?”
However, Bella then admitted that over the years she became a good actress who learned to put on a very smiley face or a very strong face. “I always felt like I had something to prove,” she continued in the interview. “People can say anything about how I look, about how I talk, about how I act. But in seven years I never missed a job, canceled a job, was late to a job. No one can ever say that I don’t work my ass off.”

Bella also admitted she regrets getting a nose job at age 14, noting, “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors” and saying she thinks she “would have grown into it.” “People think I fully f***ed with my face because of one picture of me as a teenager looking puffy. I’m pretty sure you don’t look the same now as you did at 13, right?” she said, pushing back at rumors she’s had other plastic surgery work done.
The model went on to insist that she has ‘no issue’ with fillers, but she has never used them, as they are “not for me.” “Whoever thinks I’ve gotten my eyes lifted or whatever it’s called, it’s face tape! The oldest trick in the book,” Bella said. “I’ve had this impostor syndrome where people made me feel like I didn’t deserve any of this. People always have something to say, but what I have to say is, I’ve always been misunderstood in my industry and by the people around me.”
