The Palestinian-Dutch supermodel Bella Hadid has been releasing a slew of campaign shots for her perfume brand, Orebella.
While to others, it may seem all but the same, eagle-eyed fans from the Middle East, especially from Dubai, may notice something familiar.
Fresh off her gallant return to the runway for Saint Laurent at Paris Fashion Week, Bella took to Instagram to share a post featuring the cult-favourite scent, Salted Muse. But beyond the fragrance, the backdrop of the images will ring a bell – a location Dubai residents love to jet set to for a quick staycation.
While highlighting the signature olive tree and cedarwood scent, the pictures, which seemed to have been taken during her quick 48-hour stay in the city back in November 2024, were taken at the go-to R&R spot at Mandarin Oriental Jumeira.
A woman who knows her brand’s essence quite well, Bella’s choice of location was surely no coincidence or mistake. The serene background of the Dubai seaside and the Arabian Gulf perfectly matches the inspiration behind the perfume, particularly nodding to the sea salt notes.
Clearly, the model not only enjoyed taking pictures with the Orebella perfume, but she also took to her personal Instagram account to share some intimate moments with her group of friends during their stay at the hotel’s beachside.
Supermodel Bella Hadid Shares A Touching Ramadan Message For The People Of Palestine
Just before her closing walk at YSL, the model took the time to mark the start of Ramadan with heartfelt wishes to the people of Palestine.
As the Holy Month began on March 1, 2025, Muslims around the globe prepared for a time seeped in worship, charity and prayer.
But amid the festivities, celebrities, many including regional or international, look back to the fellow community that has been struck with devastation during Ramadan. Naturally, Bella, who always stands in solidarity, shared her thoughts and prayers.
The model and activist has shared her blessings to the people of Palestine, who, despite enduring the remnants of the conflict, welcomed the first day of Ramadan with an Iftar feast.
Taking to her Instagram Stories, she shared a post with her 61.2 million followers that showed Palestinians preparing for Iftar.
“Iftar in Gaza on the first day of Ramadan,” she began, adding. “We will always find light in the darkness.”
Never one to forget her heritage and remaining to be grateful, she lovingly greeted: “Ramadan Mubarak, my family.”
Shortly after, the 28-year-old model extended her Ramadan greetings on her social media platform: “Ramadan Mubarak to all of my Muslim friends, community, and loved ones.”
She also shared her blessings for the community, continuing, “I wish you health, prosperity, happiness, strength, and joy during this Holy month.”
Her message to the Muslim community didn’t go unnoticed as regional celebrities such as Palestinian rapper, singer, songwriter Saint Levant and even the iconic Egyptian actress Ghada Abdelrazek warmly commented their blessings to the model.
Bella’s family also took a moment to reflect, with her cousin Lina Hadid sharing a touching reel of resilient Palestinian children, which Bella reposted on her Instagram Story.
