British Fashion Awards 2022: Bella Hadid wins Model Of The Year

The 26-year-old model created history this year when she shocked everyone by getting spray painted with a dress on the runway for the Spring/Summer 2023 show of French womenswear brand Coperni.

It was undoubtedly one of the year's high points, making it a memorable and widely shared experience.

Bella's stylist Carlos Nazaro accepted the award on her behalf since Bella was unable to do so herself. Bella was unable to attend the occasion because she is presently battling Lyme disease.

Bella Hadid posted a video of her pre-recorded acceptance speech to Instagram. "Thank you for the accolade, @britishfashioncouncil and my fashion family," she added in her message. Too much to say in the caption! Though it is beyond words, please accept my sincere gratitude. …. Thank you very much.
