Our Libra Double Virgo Queen! 👑 What was your favourite moment from the film?

[crystalcastillo]

I can’t help but feel like she has an internal sadness. I can feel the kindness and the sadness radiating off of her

[josepha]

"The best present I gave to myself is enjoying life" - I love that sentiment

[zelalkocak]

The whole interview her eyes were watery and her voice sounded like she was about to cry but was hidding it with laughter and a smile. It felt sentimental. I love her persona :(

[MaluRadice]

I truly believe she is one of the best celebrities from our time. She truly cares about people in general and she radiates the kindest, sweetest, warmest vibes. Such an authentic soul! I LOVE YOU BELLA. THANKS FOR EXISTING!

[amoraisonguyo]

i don’t know why but this made me want to cry, but out of how beautiful she is from the inside out. The light she radiates is other worldly, and it surprises me everyday that she’s real. Bella is joy, she’s bright, she’s warm. Bella is happiness. I love Bella.

[sophiaisabelle]

Bella Hadid is stunning. She often gets compared to her sister Gigi, however I believe she's her own person and nobody can take that away from her. She's so much more than being a model. She's a fierce woman.

For anybody wondering what her Arabic tattoo means, the word is “احبك" and means “I love you / I love you very much” and her other tattoo "حبيبتي" means “my love”

[agatainventioinv]

She’s a very captivating person, nor only bc she’s physically attractive but mainly bc of her unique energy. I don’t care if she’s a rich kid, she’s got interesting personality.

[sggggg]

love her SO MUCH! nepotism or not she is so well deserving of her success, she is hardworking, gracious, intelligent and such a unique beauty

[evaa]

The energy she radiates tingles my brain and makes me feel comfortable. I feel like she really loves her life and doesn’t take anything for granted

[michaelfrancistan]

I love her so much, Like the energy she radiates is just positivity and a natural elegance

[celeste]

i felt like i was holding back tears this whole interview something about her voice and presence that makes you feel so light and safe and loved and inspired. i love you bella x

[ErikaSzaboo]

"When you feel freedom, you can understand freedom and allow freedom." That was beautiful, lysm Bella x

[crybabyland]

I’m gonna say something super controversial but she really is one of those rare stars that gives off this “captivating light” in the same way Diana and Ms. Monroe did. Not just because of their looks but how they made you feel listening to them. I don’t know much about Bella but she had the “it” factor.

[daniellasjostrom]

ugh, I love Bella's soul. currently crying and connecting so deep. i always have with her. such a light in the industry. all the best for Bella, she deserves the world and more <3

[sashaabrandt]

Bella is such a force. Something just radiates from inside her. Her energy, her essence and the way she expresses it is so inspiring. She’s truly amazing 🕊🌟

[st]

Honestly she is probably the best nepotism model because you can tell Bella legit works her ass off like a normal model who didn’t come from nepotism she constantly doing photoshoots and runways she actually deserves to be called a supermodel

[metislamestiza]

the fact that she wants people to know about her heart is number one in my books. yes...!~ she's glorious to behold. her down to earth manner is epic. what a lovely young woman. grow Bella GROW!

[mariapazferreria]

She is so powerful and inspiring in every way. My anxiety decreases just by hearing her voice. She is fresh and soothing. We are almost bday sisters and I naïvely feel a strong connection to her because of that. She deserves all the joy and love in the world. She does so much by being true to herself.
