Bella Hadid put on yet another sizzling display as she took a break from the glamour of Cannes to top up her tan. The runway icon, 29, looked absolutely sensational basking in the sunshine on a luxury yacht sailing through the South of France on Monday.
Whether she was lounging on a chair or chatting with her gal pals, Bella was clearly having the time of her life catching some rays. And it appears not a single angle would be missed as she frolicked about in her itty bitty metallic bikini. Laying out on the lounge chair, she sensually kicked her toned and tanned legs up into the air.
She was joined by several pals, including a hunky shirtless pal who jumped into the water with her. The sunbathing session wouldn't be complete without a few impromptu photos to remember the excursion - which Bella's friends happily obliged. The model sat on her lounge chair, wrapping her arms around her chest in a position that accentuated her cleavage. A friend dutifully sat on the floor, snapping a photo.
The yacht trip marked another break from all the glitz and glamour of Cannes Film Festival, with Bella also seen enjoying a yachting session on Sunday in a pink bikini. But later that day she attended the premiere of Garance with her brother Anwar Hadid. It was a rare public appearance for Anwar, who has kept out of the spotlight in recent years, focusing on his band HowVanish, while continuing work on his leather accessories brand, Obsidien.
In a recent interview with Wonderland Magazine, Anwar, who once dated Dua Lipa and Nicola Peltz, revealed how Bella and their sister Gigi have supported his varied career over the years. 'We're very supportive on an emotional level, but they've always trusted my path,' Anwar explained. Of his pivot away from modelling, he added that following his sisters down the runway never felt like a natural plan. 'I used to cry when people took pictures of me when I was little; I really don't like it. So the way my life turned out and who I am is not a surprise to my family. They trust my timing and support me. The people who love me know I pursued music to pave my own path, and they let me do that.'
Bella meanwhile had her own career hiatus last year, and has been gaining her strength back after landing in the hospital with symptoms stemming from her 13-year battle with chronic neurological Lyme disease. Bella, her mother Yolanda Hadid and Anwar contracted the tickborne illness in 2012 and 2013.
'You are relentless and courageous. No child is supposed to suffer in their body with an incurable chronic disease,' Yolanda captioned an Instagram post about her daughter in September. 'I admire your bravery and your willingness to keep fighting for health despite the failing protocols and countless setbacks you have faced. There simply aren't words big enough for the darkness, the pain, and the unknown hell you've lived through since your diagnosis in 2013. You didn't really live, you learned how to exist inside the jail of your own paralyzed brain. I am so proud of the fighter that you are. You are not alone, I promise to have your back every step of the way, no matter how long this takes.'
Yolanda continued: 'This disease has brought us to our knees, but we always get back up. We will continue to fight for better days, together. You are a survivor. I love you so much my bada** Warrior.'
