Bella Hadid’s recent weight loss is prompting both fans and critics alike to wonder if the model is refusing to admit to her low body confidence issues. The new Victoria’s Secret model has lost so much weight lately that she even admits to missing her old curves.
According to People Magazine, Bella has long been criticizing for starting her modeling career purely on nepotism, says that her recent weight loss was accidental. In fact, she told the publication, “I really didn’t mean to [lose weight]. Like I want boobs. I want my ass back. But it’s not my fault. My weight fluctuates and so does everybody’s and I think that if people are gonna judge, that’s the worst you can possibly do because everybody is different.”
Sure, Bella Hadid might want her critics to think that her weight loss was ‘accidental,’ but knowing how obsessive most models are about their diets and workout plans, it wouldn’t be surprising if Bella knew exactly what she was doing. As a model who is always in the spotlight – thanks to her social media accounts – Bella knows that her every pound gained or lost will be scrutinized by the media and her critics. Seeing how much her sister Gigi Hadid has been slammed for being a ‘bigger’ model than her counterparts on the runway, Bella didn’t want the same thing to happen to her, too.
Just like her sister Gigi Hadid, Bella’s biggest aspiration is to become one of the top supermodels of her generation. Sure, flaunting her ‘curves’ might work on Instagram, but she knows that in order to be taken seriously in the high-end couture world of New York, Paris, and Milan, she needs to make sure she’s up to industry standards. As much as the fashion world is criticized for promoting size 0 models on the runway, both Gigi Hadid and Bella Hadid know they have to do whatever it takes to look just like them, regardless of what their critics might say.
And now that Bella Hadid is officially part of the Victoria’s Secret campaign, she knows her body will be looked at through a microscope more than ever before and that she can’t afford to have her weight fluctuate, as she claims. The last thing Bella wants is to be dropped from a campaign for being too ‘curvy.’ Do you agree?
