Bella Hadid Told String Bikini In The Snow Wouldn't Work 'In Gaza'

Bella Hadid fell under fire at the start of 2025, when bikini-clad photos of her in the snow sparked backlash. The supermodel, who is half-Dutch and half-Palestinian, had haters mocking her swimwear display as she showed off her figure on Instagram, with the comments getting pretty ugly. Bella, who regularly supports the Palestinian people on social media as the Israel-Hamas war continues, was told she wouldn't have much luck wearing her two-piece in Gaza, with others also teasing her over stripping down while she identifies as a Muslim. Bella faced similar backlash just this month as she went braless in a nipple-baring sweater to promote her Orobella fragrance brand.

Scroll for all the photos. Displaying her incredible figure in a bold red bikini with cheeky bottoms, Bella struck poses in the freezing snow.

Braving plunging temperatures and a plunging neckline, the sister of Gigi Hadid flashed her cleavage and famous abs in her stringy swimsuit, going itty-bitty in a halter top with butt-baring bottoms.

Adding chic accents from gold hoop clasps on her briefs, Bella drew the eye to her toned thighs and curvy hips, with one image showing her crouching down as she held a silk scarf in red and white. Further images showed the Dior Beauty ambassador's long legs, plus her smile. Bella wrapped the scarf around her shoulders in some snaps, showing off her funky cowboy boots.

When The Daily Mail covered the photos, users went right for Bella's Muslim heritage. " I would bet that her 'beloved brothers' Hamas and Hezbollah would not permit her to appear like that in Gaza or Lebanon," one user said, gaining over 250 upvotes. "When is she moving to Gaza then?" another asked.

Bella's photos were posted in January 2025. Fast-forward to August, and the model faced similarly harsh replies as she freed the nipple in an asymmetric gold sweater worn braless.

Plugging a new drop from her Orobella brand, Bella was shaded for her Palestinian support, with The Daily Mail's users yet again targeting her.  "Considering she always likes to go on about her Muslim heritage, I don't think that is very appropriate attire" was a comment racking up over 500 likes.

Fans were more supportive when Bella Hadid showed off her stunning bikini body in these 2021 photos. Soaking up the sun in the South of France four years ago, she highlighted her insane figure in a plunging black swimsuit, showing off her catwalk queen body while rocking soaking wet hair.
