The New Off-Duty Look: Deconstructed Leather
Stepping out in Paris following her appearance on the Saint Laurent runway, Bella Hadid opted for an intensely textured, late-night look that expertly balanced luxury with a raw, post-apocalyptic aesthetic. This outfit, a sharp departure from traditional model off-duty wear, signals a definitive embrace of the ‘messy chic’ trend, where visible wear and deconstruction become the ultimate status symbol. The overall aesthetic is heavily reminiscent of the Y2K-era ‘shabby chic’ style, elevated by premium fabrication.
The Silhouette: Exaggerated Bootcut
The foundation of the look is a pair of low-rise, bootcut trousers that pool dramatically over her pointed-toe shoes. This silhouette is instantly recognizable from the late 90s and early 2000s, deliberately pushing back against the recent prevalence of high-waisted and wide-leg styles. The deliberate low waist flashes a sliver of her midriff, emphasizing a daring confidence. The trousers—identified as the Esco Morozov Cut out Leather Pants—feature severe, deep cut-outs and a heavily distressed treatment, transforming them from a simple garment into a sculptural piece.
