Hadid, of Dutch-Palestinian heritage, completed the look with stacked gold bangles on both wrists.

In the Instagram carousel where she showcased the outfit, she also held Eternal Roots, a fragrance she recently launched under her namesake brand Orebella.
'Wearing a piece of art by a brilliant, beautiful, hard working, talented young Palestinian artist and designer today,' she wrote to her 61.1 million followers. 'Miss @reemamiofficial a reminder that Eternal Roots isn't just a name, it's a way of living … thank you to the amazing, multifaceted Palestinian princess @reemamiofficial.'
Hadid then went on to talk about her latest launch, which has notes of lychee, papyrus and vetiver.

'Eternal Roots is about more than trees in the earth ... while it is blooming into our strength ... keeping our softness when the world tries to turn us hard ... it's just as significant to hold onto your lineage when the world makes it hard,' she wrote. 'Care for others. It's about protecting the threads that tie us to our families, our heritage, our truth. It's standing by the causes that matter, even when they're not easy to speak about. It's choosing to nurture what you believe in, the way you nurture what you love.

'Because roots are not passives ... they hold us steady through storms, and they remind us of who we are when the ground feels unsteady,' she added. 'My roots are my compass. They are my strength and genuinely lead me through some of the toughest times … They are my family; blood tied and not, my ancestors, Mother Nature, God and Love. And they will always, always run deep.'
The model and entrepreneur also paid tribute to Chilean-Palestinian singer Elyanna by featuring her song 'Olive Branch' in the post. 'Music by @elyanna — bless you habibti, I am so proud of you and all that you do,' she wrote.
