Ciao bella! Super model Bella Hadid has just launched a perfume brand – here are our honest thoughts
CELEBRITY fragrances can sometimes be samey, underwhelming and overpriced.
Rewind a few years, and it felt like every celebrity (and their dog) was launching a fragrance.
But things have changed in the celeb perfume scene, with Cosmic by Kylie Jenner and LOVENOTES by Ariana Grande raising the bar.

Supermodel Bella Hadid has launched fragrance brand Ôrəbella

Most recently, supermodel Bella Hadid has launched Ôrəbella - a gentle, long-lasting fragrance brand that's supercharged with essential oils.
After launching in the USA last year, Ôrəbella has already racked up a cult following and 371,000 Instagram followers.
The brand hit our shores last week - but is it worth the investment?
Fabulous Beauty Writer Mia Lyndon put the perfumes to the test.

The scents are very long-lasting

Ôrəbella Salted Muse Eau de Parfum, £67
My first impression of Ôrəbella was one of intrigue and slight confusion, as the perfumes look like more of a prop on a Game of Thrones set than they do a perfume.
The bottle is reminiscent of a jewel or even a dragon egg, meaning it'll definitely stand out on my dressing table!
You'll need to shake the perfumes to combine their bi-phase formulas, which are made from an alcohol-free base layer packed with hydrating snow mushroom, plus aromatherapy essential oils.

Ôrəbella Window2Soul Eau de Parfum, £67
Spraying them onto your skin is a very different experience from using other perfumes.
Their heavier, thicker texture feels wetter on the skin, and has an oilier texture that takes a while to fully absorb.
To ensure they didn't leave my skin feeling damp, I gently massaged the formula into my skin, which left it heavily fragranced.
The perfumes are impressively long-lasting, which meant I continuously smelled wafts of the fragrance over the next few hours.
Salted Muse is my favourite in the range - it's full-bodied and fresh, reminiscent of hotel lobbies, and has a herbal, sultry element to it.
Window2Soul is also lovely, but has a totally different feel to it.
Unlike Salted Muse, it has a comforting, slightly powdery air, and reminded me of walking down a blossom-filled road.
Ôrəbella Blooming Fire Eau de Parfum, £67

This fragrance has floral notes

Ôrəbella Blooming Fire Eau de Parfum, £67
Blooming Fire has a floral aroma, which is peppered with warming bergamot and spiced cardamon notes, meaning it's feminine without being overly sweet or sticky.
It's not my favourite - as it feels like the least original of the range - but it's a great option for wearing both night and day.
Ôrəbella Nightcap Eau de Parfum, £67

These formulas are very unique

Ôrəbella Nightcap Eau de Parfum, £67
Nightcap rounds off the set, and stars vanilla, ginger and cardamon - which seems to be one of Bella's favoured fragrance notes.
This fragrance is designed to be reminiscent of elevated evenings spent at cocktail bars, but I couldn't get past the fact that it smells almost exactly like Coca-Cola!
Its formula is also a very interesting shade of brown, so I won't be whipping it out and applying it on the train.
Overall, while all the bottles feel a little cheap (especially given the price point), each formula is potent and long-lasting.
Bella's certainly brought something new to the market.

Thailand's top 12 jewellery brands
1. Pattaraphan As the name Pattaraphan suggests – it means 'beautiful skin' in Thai – the brand's jewellery is designed to become part of the body, enhancing your natural form with pieces that feel both intimate and artful. Known for its genderless, avant-garde approach to fine jewellery, Pattaraphan's signature style blends bold textures, sculptural shapes and minimalist forms. Each collection tells a personal story drawn from the founder's childhood memories, lived experiences and meaningful cultural symbols. The brand has gained international recognition, with style icons like Gigi and Bella Hadid wearing its pieces as part of their everyday looks. 2. Sarran Inspired by Thai womanhood and the art-to-wear movement, each piece by Sarran reflects the founder's deep love for tradition and design. Handpicking blooms from a Thai garden – like jasmine and tropical milkweed – Sarran draws inspiration from the delicate beauty of local flora. The brand's designs have caught the eye of many, including global names like Blackpink's Lisa. In a recent collaboration with Jim Thompson, it introduced earrings crafted from Thai silk. More than just accessories, Sarran's pieces are wearable stories, made with deep-rooted pride in Thai artistry. 3. Pacharee At Pacharee, every piece begins with the beauty of the stone itself. The brand celebrates the natural quirks and character of each pearl and gem, letting their imperfections guide the design. Using free-form cuts and delicate slices, Pacharee reveals the raw, untouched essence of each material – creating jewellery that feels personal and connected to nature. With styles ranging from feminine to masculine, the brand offers something for everyone to explore and wear as an expression of their own individuality. Their pieces are spotted in the latest Mike White's series, The White Lotus. 4. Ravipa What started as a vision for everyday jewellery has become a beloved name in the Thai accessories scene. Ravipa is all about simple pieces with deeper meaning, designed to be worn daily. With over 30 years of expert craftsmanship behind each item, the signature look features minimal designs and soft nylon straps that sit light on the wrist. From Disney collabs to charms believed to bring love, success or good fortune, Ravipa blends sentiment with style. Today, you'll find them at outlets ranging from Bangkok's top department stores to boutiques in Hong Kong. 5. Haus of Jewelry Haus of Jewelry is a Thai jewellery brand that made it all the way to a Times Square billboard in New York City – and has been worn by international stars like Doja Cat and Suki Waterhouse. Embracing the motto 'be fluid, be limitless – your uniqueness, your rules,' the brand offers a range of elegant and expressive collections. From a Thai zodiac-inspired line to a Bohemian Rhapsody–themed series, each piece flows with bold individuality. Most of the pieces capture a strong sense of self in limitless forms, just like the ever-changing nature of liquid. 6. Eastern Antique From a broken tile to a knocked-about piece of jewellery, Eastern Antique finds beauty in what's been overlooked. The owner, a longtime collector of bowls, plates, vases and other ceramics, discovered beauty in the broken. They take distressed pieces and re-work, polish and transform them into affordable rings, earrings, and necklaces – each piece carrying a unique story of revival. The shop is quiet and welcoming, inviting you to slow down and uncover a one-of-a-kind treasure. 7. mormormor mormormor is jewellery reimagined – wearable art with meaning. It's built on creativity, inclusivity and sustainability, celebrating Thai craftsmanship through genderless designs. It includes adaptable styles and materials reclaimed from past use. These ideas reshape how we see jewellery – blending beauty with purpose. Each piece has its own charm: one inspired by the strong lines of a gate, called the private zone collection, the other by the soft, flowing curves of flower pollen. The brand has made its mark around the globe, popping up in cities like Tokyo, Hangzhou and New York. 8. Valichain A beloved brand among Thais, known as the go-to for classic, everyday style. It is praised for offering stylish, high-quality pieces at affordable prices. The designs are versatile and made to mix and match with one another, reflecting the founder's belief that accessories should add a touch of fun, especially on days when you want to dress down but still care about your look. New and playful collections are released regularly, but don't wait too long – they tend to sell out fast. 9. Thammada Studio If you have a chance to visit Thammada Store, take your time strolling through the displays. The shop showcases detailed and delicate designs that elevate your everyday attire. From boot-shaped earrings to Tamagotchi-inspired rings, the collection transforms familiar objects into wearable art. Styles range from whimsical to cool and chic. Floral motifs also feature throughout – elegant without being overly feminine – including a standout design inspired by the traditional Thai flower garland. 10. AKE AKE Raised in a family with over 20 years of silver-making expertise, the owner used this knowledge to build AKE AKE, a jewellery brand with a love for timeless Thai handmade techniques. At the heart of AKE AKE is a commitment to creating detailed, heirloom-quality 925 sterling silver pieces. The brand's design vibe is medieval Europe meets modern cool. Inspired by British and European history, old-world rituals and antique silver artistry, AKE AKE puts a fresh spin on the past. 11. Established in Bangkok in 2020, is owned by two non-designers with a big dream – to create an alternative jewellery brand focused on craftsmanship, conscious production, and upcycling. Their entire operation is grounded in a slow-fashion manifesto and their goal is to create sustainable silver jewellery that's both thoughtful and stylish. Sarrai means seaweed in Thai, and it can be seen in their designs – flowy, freeform shapes that celebrate beautiful imperfections. The standout pieces turn trash into treasure and feature colourful, sparkling gems made from recycled bottles and upcycled glass. 12. Wodd W0dd Bangkok is where art meets attitude – a genderless, symbolic fusion of sculpture and style with a youthful edge. Each piece plays with bold letter forms and custom shapes. Crafted from 925 silver with anti-tarnish plating, every design is handmade in collaboration with skilled local artisans who bring serious detail and soul to the mix. Their jewellery features a blend of metallic shine and soft matte textures, giving it the look of liquid metal – smooth and cool to the touch.

Adidas launch divisive Mary Jane version of its iconic Sambas
2025 has been the rise of the 'ugly' shoe trends, and Adidas' latest launch that combines the classic Mary Jane with its bestselling Samba has fans divided It feels like 2025 has been the year of the divisive shoe. We has UGG's platform Mary Jane Boots, the UGG AMBUSH sheepskin ballet flat and of course, the rise of the 'Sneakerina', loved by Bella Hadid and Dua Lipa. And Adidas' latest release has sparked some debate among fashion fans. The release in question is the adidas Originals Samba Mary Jane. Yep, you heard that right. A combination of one of Adidas' most iconic and trending styles, the Samba, mixed with popular 2025 shoe trend, the Mary Jane. The result? A sporty hybrid shoe that's not quite a trainer and not quite a Mary Jane. Priced at £80, this new shoe style is available to shop in classic white with black stripes, on-trend red, and black with white stripes. Fashion lovers and Samba fans on social media have been quick to leave their opinions on these conterversial shoes, with some calling it that they'll be the 'shoe of the summer ' and others comparing them to children's school shoes. I'm an Adidas samba wearer and lover myself, so I'm actually a fan of this pair myself. I love that feel silghtly girlier and feminine than sambas, but definitely look comfier than a traditional pair of Mary Janes thanks to the gum sole. If this style is up your street, you'll be pleased to know that tonnes of other brands have similar styles that toe the line between sporty and girly, and we've rounded up a few of our favourites. Charles & Keith Available for £75 here Not only are the sneakerinas a huge trend, but so are metallic shoes, so these silver satin sneakers from Charles & Keith combine both trends in one. If the silver isn't really your style, they are also available in a classic black colourway. Puma Dua Lipa posted an Instagram carousel sporting the Puma Speedcat Ballet Shoes, showing that she's given this controversial trend her seal of approval. Dua's exact metallic silver ones are currently out of stock, but we've found some suede pink ones from Puma that still perfectly fit into the trend. Vivaia Cristina Satin Sneakerinas Bella Hadid was spotted wearing this reasonably affordable £119 pair from Vivaia. And not only is Bella a huge fan of Vivaia's pair, but so is Charli XCX, who was seen sporting two different pairs in the Coachella desert. The Vivaia shoes have been crafted a smooth satin fabric like classic ballet shoes, but sit upon on a rubber sole like a trainer. The result? A sporty-looking ballet flat that perfectly combines feminine and athletic fashion.
