The image captioned ’17 hour flight to work’ showed Hadid pairing a sheer lilac geometric patterned top with a raspberry red midi skirt and a pair of Miu Miu white satin ballet pumps and lilac socks.
The ballet core fashion trend is a hyper-feminine styling take on all thing’s ballet and dance, with the focus remaining on the clothing dancers wear during training and performing such as ballet pumps and leotards.
A spokesperson for Boohoo commented:
“The ballet core style is on the rise and with huge celebrities such as Bella Hadid posting on Instagram her effortless take on the trend. It is a testament to not only the style, but also Hadid herself that a single post can cause such a rise in interest.
Although the trend is emblematic of nineties and early noughties style, the aesthetic was worn by many celebrities throughout last year, especially at the 2022 Met Gala. The theme for the Gala was ‘Gilded Glamour’, and saw celebrities such as Tessa Thompson, Billie Eilish and Emma Stone sport gorgeous looks inspired by ballerinas.”
