Bella Hadid (people’s princess and British Vogue’s June cover star) may be in her horse girl era–all cowboy boots and Miss Sixty denim–but this week, the queen of cowboy chic took a detour straight into ’80s nostalgia, embracing the polka dot mania currently gripping London. Swapping her rodeo-ready staples for a spotty midi-dress worn under a leather jacket, Bella added socks and chunky sneakers. Like Irina Shayk in Cannes this week, she’s taking a leaf out of the summer-in-London style playbook with this dress + dad trainer combo.
Of course, trendsetting is second nature for Miss Hadid. Who could forget the Uggs and micro shorts era that briefly broke the internet? Now, her return to the spotlight coincides with the Princess Di-approved polka dot print having its moment in the sun. Love it or hate it, the ’80s favourite is back with a vengeance, popping up on the runways at Conner Ives, Valentino, and Moschino, and dominating street style and social media alike.
