Bella Hadid has once again found herself at the center of social media chatter after new bikini photos from her latest getaway sparked a wave of mixed reactions online. The supermodel recently showed off her toned figure while relaxing aboard a yacht in the South of France, rocking an ultra-tiny string bikini that quickly grabbed attention across social media and celebrity forums. While many fans praised Hadid’s beachside look, others were far more critical, with some commenters taking aim at the revealing swimsuit and the model’s appearance.

Bella Hadid’s Tiny Bikini Divides The Internet

Photos of Hadid soaking up the sun quickly made the rounds online, with fans weighing in on everything from the barely-there bikini to the model’s famously slender frame. Some users rushed to compliment the runway star, calling her “gorgeous” and praising her vacation style. “Stunning!” one person wrote.

Others, however, weren’t nearly as impressed. “I honestly don’t want to see an image of your arse appearing to have eaten most of the lower 1/2 of your bikini! It’s not a pleasant nor a remotely feminine sight to behold,” one critic commented. Another added, “looks ridiculous.” A third person bluntly wrote, “Weird body shape, especially legs.”

Critics Question Hadid’s Revealing Look

The criticism didn’t stop at fashion commentary. Some commenters questioned why the model chooses to share such revealing photos in the first place, with one person asking, “Why is she selling herself in this way?”

Another commenter took things even further, writing, “She’s so gross both inside & out. The whole family is disgusting. And shame on the media for force-feeding us this slop.”

Still, not every reaction was negative. Among the harsher takes were fans who defended Hadid and praised her confidence, with several calling her “beautiful” and applauding her carefree summer energy.

Bella Hadid Once Admitted Fame Left Her Feeling ‘Less Alone’

While Bella Hadid may appear unbothered by online criticism these days, the model has previously spoken candidly about the emotional toll public perception once took on her. Back in 2022, Hadid opened up about how frequently she felt misunderstood, admitting many people assumed she was cold or intimidating before actually meeting her.

“The majority of the time when I meet people, they say, I just didn’t think you were going to be nice, that you were going to be this mean, scary dragon lady, or some kind of a s-xbot,” she said at the time. “That’s just not me, and if people have a better understanding of who I am, then I feel less alone within myself.”

Bella Hadid Says Her Hardest Years Left Her ‘In Tears’

The supermodel also revealed the intense emotional struggles she endured during some of the busiest years of her career, explaining that behind the glamorous runway appearances, she was quietly battling overwhelming loneliness.

“For three years while I was working, I would wake up every morning hysterical, in tears, alone,” Hadid recalled. “I wouldn’t show anybody that. I would go to work, cry at lunch in my little greenroom, finish my day, go to whatever random little hotel I was in for the night, cry again, wake up in the morning, and do the same thing.”

Bella Hadid Once Said She Felt Like ‘The Uglier Sister’

Bella Hadid has also been candid about the insecurities she carried growing up, admitting she often felt overshadowed by her older sister Gigi Hadid. “I was the uglier sister. I was the brunette. I wasn’t as cool as Gigi, not as outgoing,” Bella recalled. “That’s really what people said about me. And unfortunately, when you get told things so many times, you do just believe it.”

The supermodel went on to reveal the emotional struggles she quietly dealt with behind the scenes, including anxiety, depression, body image struggles, and social anxiety, challenges, which she said made her question whether she even belonged in the modeling world.

“I always ask myself, how did a girl with incredible insecurities, anxiety, depression, body-image issues, eating issues, who hates to be touched, who has intense social anxiety, what was I doing getting into this business?” she shared.

Still, Hadid said years in the spotlight taught her how to put on a brave face, even when she was struggling internally.
