Bella Hadid's runway comeback at Prada Fall 2026. See her layered looks and first walk for the iconic house at Milan Fashion Week.
- March 17, 2026
AceShowbiz - Bella Hadid made a striking return to the runway during Milan Fashion Week, appearing four times in the Prada fall 2026 show. This marked her first-ever walk for the iconic fashion house, showcasing a series of layered looks that captivated the audience.
Bella Hadid had not walked a runway since the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in October, making this moment a significant comeback. Her presentation at Prada was notable for the seamless transitions between each outfit, revealing intricate layers beneath each look.
For her initial appearance, Hadid wore a sheer navy skirt paired with an oversized chore jacket. The look was accessorized with embellished knee-high socks and delicate kitten heels, combining elegance with an edge.
Her second walk removed the jacket, unveiling that the sheer skirt doubled as an organza trench coat layered over a barely visible white shift dress. Complementing this ensemble was a navy top-handle bag, adding a refined touch.
In her third outing, she shed the trench coat and swapped her navy bag for a bright green version, showcasing the printed white poplin shift dress that had been hidden under the previous layers. This subtle change highlighted the versatility of the collection’s styling.
For the final look, Hadid appeared in long bloomer-style shorts paired with a knit tank top, completing her series of four distinct runway moments. Each appearance demonstrated a carefully curated layering technique, emphasizing the transitional nature of the fall collection.
Designers Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons cast 15 models for the show, each of whom walked four times with incremental removals of layers. This innovative format resulted in a total of 60 runway appearances, creating a dynamic and engaging presentation.
Bella Hadid has been gradually returning to modeling after managing her Lyme disease diagnosis. Concerns arose during last year’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show when she appeared to struggle walking, which was later attributed to the heavy 50-pound wings she wore rather than her health condition.
Her return to high fashion was further cemented in September 2024 when she walked for Saint Laurent after an extended break to focus on her wellness. The Prada show continues this positive trajectory, marking a powerful statement in her ongoing career.
