Bella Hadid has always been the queen of off-duty model style, but herlatest look might be her most influential yet. Spotted in New York, Hadid stepped out in full Western-boho glam, accessorizing with a standout piece that’s now being dubbed the next It-bag: the Valentino Nellcôte tote.
Designed by Alessandro Michele for Valentino’s pre-fall 2025 collection, the suede bag is embellished with metallic studs and silver rivets—blending rock and roll edge with cowboy charm. Hadid paired it with a white ribbed tank, matching white cardigan, oversized leather belt with triangular cutouts, bootcut jeans, and cowboy boots. The entire look emulates classic Y2K fashion, echoing the boho-western style popularized by 2000s icons like Sienna Miller and Mary-Kate Olsen – think suede bags, stacked belts, and a casual tank layered under cozy knits.
This isn’t Bella’s first rodeo when it comes to Western-inspired fashion. She’s long been a fan of fringe, denim, and oversized leather – and now, she’s literally dating a cowboy. Her boyfriend, champion equestrian Adan Banuelos, makes the Western influence feel even more authentic. But this look signals a deeper revival of the 2000s boho aesthetic—with a luxe, directional twist. The Nellcôte tote feels both nostalgic and fresh: roomy enough to be practical, but unique enough to feel exclusive.
With Hadid’s stamp of approval, the bag is already gaining traction online, with fans rushing to find vintage or dupe versions. Whether it becomes the bag of the season is TBD—but if fashion history tells us anything, Bella’s influence is enough to launch a thousand waitlists.
If you’re eyeing the trend, think textures: suede, leather, silver hardware. And don’t be afraid to go full cowgirl—just tone it down with soft knits or neutral layers à la Bella.
