Bella Hadid Is Yolanda Hadid's Twin with Stunning Blonde Hair (PHOTO)

Yolanda Hadid's youngest daughter, iconic brunette Bella, shocked us with her long, blonde hair transformation.

Bella Hadid is practically known for her signature, chocolate brown hair. But, Yolanda Hadid's youngest daughter was blonde once upon a time, just like her mom, who rocks some icy blonde locks.

How to Watch

Watch The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills on Bravo Tuesdays at 8/7c and next day on Peacock. Catch up on Bravo.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills daughter took to her Instagram feed in 2019, where she showed off her very long blonde hair in a playful selfie. In the photo, Bella can be seen lying in a bed, making a kissy face for the camera, showing off her honey-blonde hair and face-framing layers. She practically looks unrecognizable, as the hair color makes her bright blue eyes pop. But, she looks stunning all the same with the change in hair color. The model did not caption the photo, choosing to let the moment speak for itself — and it does. It's bold, it's blonde, and it's so beautiful.

But this was not the first time that Bella went blonde. In 2017, she sported a shorter, blonder look (which was actually her hair covered in gold glitter) for a fashion show. And most recently, in 2023, Bella debuted long blonde hair with side-swept bangs on TikTok.

What is Bella Hadid's natural hair color?

However, people might be surprised to learn that blonde is Bella's natural color and she has continued to dye it brown to match her personality. It certainly doesn't hurt that Bella's brown hair is also able to help her differentiate herself from her older sister, Gigi Hadid, who is known for her signature blonde hair.

"I just have a darker personality," Bella explained to Allure in 2016. "And my sister being blonde and me being brunette, it's a good separation."

But she isn't afraid to go back to blonde, either. "I put a blonde wig on and think it would be fun to go back, but I'm happy with my hair. Blondes are so angelic," she said. "My sister can get away with anything."

What color hair does Bella Hadid have today?

Although she might have been blonde before, rest assured, Bella is still brunette. The Orabella founder took to Instagram on Jan. 2, where she posted a series of photos of her out in Times Square in New York City wearing her signature chocolate brown hair pulled back in a half-up, half-down look.

Bella didn't stray too far away from her brown hair throughout 2024. She took to Instagram on Jan. 7, 2025, where she recapped the previous year in photos and videos. This included many photos of Bella with long, brown hair, worn in many different styles. Although she was born a blonde, Bella has found a home with her brunette hair.
