Today, Bella Hadid stepped out in New York City with the full intention of making a fashion statement.
It wasn’t the leather bomber jacket with a fur collar, the red knit turtleneck, the baggy light wash denim jeans, or the pair of slick brown leather shoes that caught our attention. No, it was Hadid’s not one, but two belts. Yes,belts. One belt, which was looped into the waistband of the pants as it is intended, boasted a gold buckle. The other belt, which was free-falling on the waist—hanging on by a punch hole and a prong—had silver hardware.
There are plenty of accessories that are ornamental. Jewelry for one. Some hats. But the concept ventures into controversial territory when a functional piece like a belt becomes simply for show. In fact, the useless belt is one of the most prime examples of noughties maximalism. You’d be hard-pressed to find a red carpet that didn’t feature a celebrity wearing a dress and a hulking, waist-cinching belt.
As for Hadid’s double-belts, they’re not bauble-packed or covered with logos from a French house. Instead, they’re simple and standard leather belts with simple and standard buckle. I’m both confused and amused. And that’s the point.The insider’s guide to what to shop and how to wear it.
