Bella Hadid Unleashed Her Inner Horse Girl in Cowboy Core Style, Riding With Boyfriend Adan Banuelos at Teton Ridge’s Event
Bella Hadid made an unforgettable entrance on Thursday at New York Fashion Week, and she didn’t walk — she did a trot. The model gave a horse cutting demonstration on the street outside of Kemo Sabe’s pop-up, alongside her boyfriend and National Cutting Horse Association Hall of Famer Adan Banuelos, in celebration of the premiere of his short film series with Teton Ridge, “Window to the West.”
Hadid was decked out in Western garb for the occasion, wearing Kemo Sabe’s Beaver hat and Susamusa’s pinstripe Sienna shirt, which she tucked into a pair of jeans topped with an embossed silver buckled belt and a pair of fringed suede and leather chaps. The couple was joined by Jenna Lyons and Bella’s mother, Yolanda Hadid.

After she and Banuelos treated the crowd to a close-up of the equestrian sport in a makeshift ring in the Meatpacking District, Hadid unveiled another Western look. She attended the afterparty in the same Kemo Sabe hat, this time pairing it with a fringe-trimmed leather halter top and a pair of low-rise leather pants with an oversized burnished belt.
This isn’t the first time Hadid, who grew up riding horses, has put forth her take on cowboy core fashion, which has been trending in the year of Beyoncé’s “Cowboy Carter” and in the years leading up to it. The Kin Euphorics cofounder has had a summer full of western looks. Just this week, on Thursday, Hadid stepped out with Banuelos in the Meatpacking District in a pair of suede cowboy boots, with a polka dot lace-trimmed halter dress.
On Thursday she also paired vintage Dior cowboy boots with a 2002 leather bustier by Roberto Cavalli and a vintage Cavalli denim skirt with a leather patch pocket. She accessorized with a wraparound choker and a leather saddle purse.
Plus, Hadid stepped out in a pair of cowboy boots and Daisy Dukes, with a T-shirt depicting a fawn.
Hadid reentered NYFW earlier this year after taking some time off to focus on her health. At the top of the year, she spoke to WWD about her hiatus, saying, “When you’re not in the rat race of all of that, you really start to care about how you think about yourself and how you look at yourself.”
