Brava! Bella Hadid Embraces Sciura Style in Milan
Ciao, Bella Hadid!
For the uninitiated—and those without this excellent Instagram on your Explore page—the Sciura is a Milanese woman who dresses elegantly and impeccably. Think: leopard prints and Sophia Loren sunglasses, a suite of gemstone jewelry, and jewel tone blazers and pencil skirts. Always a pump, sometimes an elegant leather glove. Amid Milan Fashion Week, Bella Hadid gave the city’s quintessential look a try.
The model and actor, out promoting the Italian launch of her fragrance brand Orebella, greeted enormous crowds outside Douglas, Milan, wearing a chic white vintage skirt suit with a collar and buttons, the knee-length skirt with simple pleats. Styled by Mimi Cuttrell, she wore large, dark oval sunglasses, a white and black piped clutch bag, and Dalmatian print peep-toe mules.

Later, Bella attended an Orebella brunch event in a silky, pale-as-pale lilac and cream Thierry Mugler blazer and skirt. The outfit featured the signature Mugler details: with structured shoulders and lapels and a nipped-in resin buckle waist, the ankle-length column skirt featured a singular slit. Accessories, again, were pared back—silvery dotted pumps and long drop diamond earrings by Chopard. Glam, by her go-to makeup artist Nadia Tayeh, was bronzed and glowy, with a wavy voluminous, supermodel blowout and bangs swept to the side by Syd Hayes.
It was a real about-turn from the Bella Hadid looks of recent. Just a day previous, Hadid took to the Milano streets to launch her first design collaboration with Italy’s ’90s-dominating denim brand Miss Sixty. She wore an elongated bootleg jean, with a structured nipped-in waist jacket, which she paired with a white rollneck sweather and Anonymous Copenhagen pumps. Equal parts yeehaw and Y2K it-girl.
In another image shared to Instagram, Hadid opted to up the glam factor in an icy blue and brocade vintage Dior gown with sheer cut-outs and fringe details. The dress, which matched the fragrance bottle she posed with, was previously worn by Nicole Kidman, and hails from the 1998 spring summer, Galliano-era Dior collection.
