Bella Hadid wears the tiniest red string bikini out in the snow (!!)

Sad to say it wasn’t a white Christmas for us here in the UK, but one person who is enjoying a winter wonderland is Bella Hadid. The model and Orebella skin perfume founder took to her Instagram stories to share a snapshot of her snowy ‘scape. Capturing spindly trees and branches hidden amongst plenty of inches of snowfall, it wasn’t clear where Bella was in the pic. But, rather than spending time wondering, we’re busy thinking about how cold the 28-year-old must be in her attire for the cold-weather outing.

Forget a winter coat and fleece lined tights – AKA what we’ve been wearing any time we’ve left the house over the past month – Bella donned *just* a teeny tiny red string bikini. The micro design consisted of a tie-up triangle top paired with coordinating string bottoms that featured gold ring hardware at the hip. Hardly appropriate snow attire, IMO.

Admittedly, Bella did opt to wear more seasonally suitable cowboy boots on her feet. Though her footwear choice is far from surprising given she’s made Westerncore her style MO since she started dating professional cowboy Adan Banuelos. She accessorised with silver jewellery including a bracelet stack, and could also be seen clutching a red and white patterned satin square scarf – though that will hardly keep her warm.

Bella’s Arabic shoulder tattoo could just be glimpsed in the corner of the pic, confirming it was indeed the model willingly freezing. All we can say is, we’ll keep our swimwear for beach attire. If there’s snow around, you physically can’t separate us from our skiwear.
