It would be an understatement to say that Bella Hadid has been a rare sight down at the newsstand over recent months. The last time the American model made an appearance on the cover of a major fashion title was when Chioma Nnadi at British Vogue welcomed Bella as a cover star (who ultimately dialed up the glamour tenfold via the lens of Steven Meisel). The Chopard brand ambassador reunites with the photographic duo Luigi & Iango for the Autumn/Winter 2025/2026 edition of Dust Magazine. Across a twosome of collectible covers, the industry favorite and guest star of Ryan Murphy’s “The Beauty” is dressed by cover shoot stylist Danielle Emerson. In the studio-shot cover imagery, Bella showcases a series of looks from Anthony Vaccarello’s Saint Laurent.
Bella Hadid for Dust Magazine Issue #28 Winter 2025/2026
Read below the reactions of theFashionSpot’s forum members:
“Bella looks like she’s wearing a garbage bag,” called out mepps straight away.
“I have liked Dust a lot in the past. I loved their strong, slightly homoerotic vision built mostly on very powerful collaborations with Willy Vanderperre. Now, I feel they’ve lost their identity, and the collaborations they’re pursuing with Luigi & Iango are proof of that. Their work for the magazine keeps feeling bland, without any edge or coolness, something a random commercial magazine could easily run,” voiced ah ah.
“Went a little overboard with the de-saturation, no? I prefer Luigi & Iango’s work when it has more of that high contrast, mid-2000s Mert & Marcus style. I’ve been feeling a bit uninspired with Bella’s modeling lately. Kinda seems like she lost her spark,” marsnoop2 noted.
Jeremydante wasn’t exactly sold either. “The blonde washes her out. Makes the hair look dry, and the muted tones of the cover don’t help that,” he critiqued.
