Bella Hadid Wore Some of Her Own Wardrobe for Her Yellowstone Cameo
When the final season of Yellowstone hit screens, fans were treated to a delightful surprise in the form of Bella Hadid’s cameo. Known primarily as a supermodel gracing fashion runways and magazine covers worldwide, her appearance as Sadie, the girlfriend of Taylor Sheridan’s character Travis, caught everyone off guard yet fit seamlessly into the rugged tapestry of Yellowstone.
A Natural Fit for the Wild West
Hadid’s unexpected leap from high-fashion to Western drama was not entirely out of place. Her personal connection to the rodeo world through her boyfriend Adan Banuelos, a celebrated equestrian and rodeo star inducted into the National Cutting Horse Hall of Fame, underscores this transition. Together, they embody the country-western lifestyle both on and off-screen:
- Denim
- Leather chaps
- Cowboy hats
This immersion into rodeo culture was evident in her Yellowstone debut. Her character Sadie appeared first when Beth Dutton (played by the fantastic Michelle Dockery) visited Travis, and later at a horse auction.
Method Acting with a Personal Twist
The wardrobe for Hadid’s cameo was not only stylish but also deeply personal. Costume designer Johnetta Boone remarked on how crucial it was to reflect Bella’s true character through her attire:
“Working with the supermodel Bella Hadid was of course incredible… The trickiest of all was to be sure we held true to her character.”
Boone successfully blended professional costume design with Bella’s authentic style by incorporating pieces from her own closet, particularly a small clipped men’s ribbed tank paired with HAALA jeans and vintage boots.
The Stylish Details
Bella Hadid’s approach to dressing as Sadie was nothing short of method acting. The wardrobe revolved around these key elements:
- A men’s ribbed tank that Bella herself had a hand in choosing
- HAALA jeans, known for their perfect fit and comfort
- Vintage boots from her personal collection, adding authenticity to the character
- A cowboy hat tipped with a Brim Biter by Hallett Peak, blending fashion with function
Embracing Her Role
The seamless integration of Bella’s personal style into Sadie’s wardrobe highlighted her ability to transition between the worlds of high fashion and country-western charm. Her cameo may have been brief, but it left a lasting impression on fans who can’t help but wonder: why not make this an ongoing relationship? Perhaps Yellowstone could benefit from having Hadid as a series regular in future episodes.
Hadid’s appearance serves as a reminder of how versatile and adaptable models like her can be. She effortlessly navigates between the glitz of runway fashion and the raw authenticity required for roles such as this. As she continues to diversify her portfolio, it will be exciting to see where Bella Hadid’s talents take her next.
