Bella Hadid is no stranger to turning heads, but her latest bikini outing has the internet seriously divided. The 29-year-old supermodel recently showed off her toned figure while soaking up the sun in a tiny red bikini, flaunting her beach-ready physique during a relaxing day by the water. While many fans praised the model’s glowing demeanor and toned frame, others weren’t nearly as impressed, with critics flooding comment sections to slam everything from her appearance to the eye-catching swimwear.
Bella Hadid’s Tiny Red Bikini Divides The Internet
Hadid appeared carefree as she lounged in the barely-there two-piece, showing off her slim figure and tanned skin. But instead of unanimous praise, the snaps quickly ignited mixed reactions online, with some viewers branding the photos “cringe” and criticizing the model’s ultra-thin frame.
“This is so cringe. I’m beginning to feel sorry for her,” one person wrote. Another commenter harshly added, “Skeleton bones attractive?”
“Ribs are not hot,” someone else chimed in, while another critic claimed, “She looked great like 3 years ago. I don’t know what happened to her now. She’s way too skinny, too tan, and looks like she’s in the sun too much it’s causing damage.”
Others questioned why Hadid remains one of fashion’s most sought-after faces, with one user writing, “Great looking thin toned body with glowing skin. How is she a top model though?”

Some of the backlash became even more personal, with commenters taking aim at Hadid’s appearance and public image. “The only thing attractive about her is her money,” one person wrote. “She is clearly an attention seeker,” another critic claimed, while one user questioned, “Why is she selling herself in this way?”
Others poked fun at the supermodel’s poses, with one joking, “She’s going to herniate a disc arching that back to make it look like she has a b-tt!” Still, not everyone piled on. Some fans defended the runway star, complimenting her figure and praising her glowing complexion despite the criticism.
Bella Hadid Has Been Open About Her Struggles Behind The Glamour
Though Hadid is now considered one of the biggest names in fashion, she previously admitted that confidence didn’t always come naturally. In a candid 2022 interview, the supermodel reflected on the emotional toll fame took on her, revealing that many people wrongly assumed she was cold or intimidating.
“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,” Hadid 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.”
She also opened up about the painful loneliness she experienced during some of the busiest years of her career. “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.”
Hadid Lands Major Prada Beauty Gig
Even amid the nonstop commentary surrounding her personal life and appearance, Hadid’s career continues to hit major milestones. The supermodel is currently having a major moment with Prada. Last month, Hadid made her runway debut at the luxury fashion house’s Fall 2026 ready-to-wear presentation, walking the show for the first time and making a memorable impression by hitting the catwalk four separate times.
Now, the model is deepening her partnership with the iconic brand after being named the new global face of Prada Beauty, a role that coincides with the launch of Prada Touch Blush, a new product line featuring eight shades designed in the shape of the brand’s signature triangle logo.
Bella Hadid Says Prada Blush Helps On Tough Days
Speaking about the launch, Hadid admitted blush has become something of a mood-booster for her, especially on difficult days. “Blush is about life,” she shared with Vogue. “Sometimes, I wake up in the morning not feeling very fresh or energized, especially when dealing with immune problems and being a workaholic. But putting on a good blush makes me feel a little happier.”
And when jokingly told that “store-bought blush is fine,” Hadid had the perfect response. “More than fine when it’s Prada,” she said.
