Bella Hadid Admits She Never Felt Powerful Walking In Victoria's' Secret Fashion Shows

Bella Hadid is opening up about her experiences being a Victoria’s Secret model.

The 24-year-old model recently admitted that she never felt powerful walking in the lingerie brand’s fashion shows.

Though she was never a Victoria’s Secret Angel, Bella has walked in three consecutive shows, 2016, 2017 and 2018.

“Rihanna’s amazing. For me, that was the first time on a runway that I felt really sexy. Because when I first did Fenty, I was doing other lingerie shows and I never felt powerful on a runway, like, in my underwear,” she said at the Vogue Fashion Festival in Paris last week, via WWD.

Bella added that Rihanna told her to walk however she wanted, and that helped give her the confidence.

“I like being another character. I think at this point I don’t necessarily love being myself sometimes,” Bella said. “Sometimes on the runway you get either nervous or you forget how your legs move.”
