Bella Hadid Continues Met Gala Absence as She Prioritizes Well-being

Supermodel Bella Hadid was notably absent from the 2025 Met Gala, marking her third consecutive year missing fashion's biggest night. Despite being spotted in New York City earlier for her sister Gigi's birthday celebrations, Bella opted not to attend the prestigious event.

The absence aligns with Bella's previously stated intention to step back from the demanding world of high-fashion modeling. She has been increasingly focused on her personal well-being and building a life in Texas, where she spends significant time with her boyfriend, professional cowboy Adan Banuelos.

While Bella remained away from the Met Gala spotlight, her sister Gigi Hadid did attend, stunning attendees in a custom Miu Miu gold dress that captured photographers' attention.

Bella's decision to miss the gala appears to be part of a deliberate lifestyle shift, as she continues to prioritize her health and happiness while developing her business ventures, including her Orebella brand, outside the traditional modeling circuit.
