It’s not summer until the supermodels say so, which happens in the form of them showing off their taut tummies – and chic bikinis – in the European sun. Thankfully, we didn’t have to wait long this year with Bella Hadid kicking off the season in St. Barts in the form of a romantic beachside holiday with her boyfriend of two years, Marc Kalman. 

After shutting down the Cannes Film Festival red carpet in a slew of incredible vintage designer looks, Hadid opted to extend her time in Europe by booking a few days of relaxation. Yesterday, she and Kalman were photographed sitting outside by the sea at the Eden Rock hotel, swimming, taking photos of each other and pausing to pash every so often. Ah, young love. 

Hadid wore a blue bikini top with matching silk-look swimming shorts, which could easily double as pyjamas. When she wasn’t swimming, Hadid wore a matching blue button-up shirt. Never afraid to accessorise, she threw on multiple gold bangles up to her elbows and layers of gold necklaces. 

A few hours after the paparazzi caught the couple’s cute day out, Hadid took the narrative into her own hands, sharing photos Kalman took of her during the day to Instagram, alongside a photo of him diving into the water wearing a pair of board shorts and a far away shot of the pair cuddling from a higher vantage point. 

Later that day, Hadid shared more photos to the ‘gram, sans seaside to announce her first time modelling for Balenciaga. In the image, Hadid was pictured topless while wearing a pair of the brand’s leather pants, hugging another model from behind.

In a second shot, Hadid wore baggy denim jeans and a baggy denim jacket, as well as the Balenciaga le cagole bag in what looks to be a new denim material (very, very good).

Gorgeous, gorgeous girls wear bikinis one day and Balenciaga the next.
