Bella and Gigi Hadid, globally recognized faces in the world of fashion, have never shied away from making bold choices. However, their latest venture with British Vogue has set tongues wagging and digital platforms buzzing. For the first time, the Hadid sisters have posed nude together, sparking debate and raising eyebrows.
Generally, featuring nude models is an acceptable, even laudable, practice in the high-fashion circles, also a concept the internet seems to favor. Yet, the situation becomes tricky within the context of these latest photos.
Despite the controversy, Bella and Gigi graced the Vogue issue in a fearless way. With two distinct editions – one featuring Gigi on the cover and the other, Bella – both sisters have displayed their strength and confidence.
Highlights of the featured interview within the magazine unveiled the sisters’ ardent affection and protective instinct for each other. In Gigi’s words, “She’s one of the only people I’ll get aggressive for. She makes me so proud. I would do anything for her.” Bella reciprocated the sentiment while speaking about her relationship with Zayn Malik, hinting at the undue public attention they face.
Bella discussed the scrutiny over her relationship, explaining that the public commentary surrounding it ranged from accusations of it being overly dramatized to it being perceived as not being genuine enough. Striving to maintain authenticity, Bella stated, “I try to do what feels real to me, and do it with integrity.”
Despite this candid interaction, the interview lacked the expected spice. More enticing questions about the sisters’ bold decision to pose together could have added value. It’s possible that such mesmerizing pictures are simply an example of varied cultural norms and practices.
Certain things that are acceptable elsewhere may not be as broadly accepted in the U.S. For instance, nudity within siblings might tilt towards the less acceptable end of the spectrum in the U.S.
Yet, such daring fashion choices provoke thought and stimulate conversations. Although discomforting for some, these disruptions of norms are indicative of the ever-evolving nature of the fashion industry. These bold Hadid sisters are undeniably a force to be reckoned with in the world of fashion.
