Bella posted a picture of her father on a private jet noting they were flying to D.C. so that he could see his sister one last time.

Not only did the Hadid sisters lose their aunt, they also lost a beloved friend in the fashion community.

André Leon Talley died unexpectedly on Tuesday, January 18. He was a force to be reckoned with and a trailblazer in the fashion industry.

The former creative director and editor-at-large of Vogue magazine, who died of an unknown illness at 73-years-old, was beloved by many in the fashion world.

Talley was known for his blunt comments and flamboyant presence — sporting statement kaftans, robes, and hats throughout most of his career. His team announced his passing on his Instagram account.

“It is with great sadness we announce the passing of André Leon Talley on January 18, 2022 in New York,” the statement read.

Gigi, Bella, Kris Jenner, Andy Cohen, Diane von Fürstenberg, Marc Jacobs and more have paid their respects to Talley.

The Bravo host talked about Talley’s passing on “Watch What Happens Live.”

“I’m a little off right now because during the break, we got news that our dear friend of the clubhouse André Leon Talley has passed away,” he said. “He was just an incredible wonderful, wonderful guy. And we’re gonna miss him, and he was a great life force. So I just want to salute André Leon Talley, rest in peace.”

Gigi wrote, “Andre, the Great. I am honored to have had some handsome moments with you and experienced your spirit. Thank you for the world of inspiration you’ve left us, and for all the people you championed that have shaped this industry. Rest in power.”
