Bella Hadid is the à la mode horse girl—something we didn't know we needed until now.
This weekend, the model competed in a Las Vegas horse cutting competition; a skill which involves the rider cutting off a cow from its herd and keeping it from returning for two and a half minutes.
Her outfit, both practical for the sport, yet in keeping with her now well-known rodeo style, included a black and white flannel button-up tucked into classic blue flared jeans, and a silver buckled brown belt to tie it all in. Over the jeans, she wore light brown chaps with fringe detailing, as well as a white straw cowboy hat over a slick ponytail. See the outfit here.

Her western sartorial choices have been drawing attention for some time now, and she has given us apt inspiration for our own rodeo-inspired looks. However, in this case, she isn't just modelling the clothes, she's living her best cowgirl life too.
The supermodel has been involved with equestrianism since she was young, with her passion for all things horses only growing once she began dating rodeo star Adan Banuelos. Hadid and Banuelos even brought horseback riding and matching western outfits to New York Fashion Week last year, right in the middle of downtown Manhattan.

In December of 2024, she took to Instagram to pen a heartfelt post detailing how Banuelos helped her embrace her love of horses and regain her confidence riding.
'Being able to try new things and reach new goals, especially on horses again, has been the biggest joy of my life. I thank God every day for horses.'
She went on to shout out her cowboy, explaining, 'Adan always had faith in me, from the first day we rode together, which gave me confidence and faith in myself again. I couldn't have done it without him!' Adan Banuelos and Bella Hadid are seen in the Meatpacking District on September 12, 2024 in New York City. (Photo by Gotham/GC Images)
