If there's one thing we know to be true about Bella Hadid, it’s that she can pull off quite literally anything in the fashion sphere, even those that are a little controversial.
The supermodel and entrepreneur's most recent look that had the internet divided was her slim-fitting black capri-style co-ord, which she wore to celebrate her elder sister Gigi Hadid’s 30th birthday over the weekend.

Both of the slinky styles, which are made from a polyester/nylon blend, were sourced from Parisian-based small brand, Nuovo.
To make the capri combo party appropriate, Bella added a set of pointed-toe black pumps, secured with a chunky ankle strap, slung a vibrant red glitter Fendi Baguette bag over her shoulder, and carried a vintage leather jacket in one hand.

Though we know everything the Orebella touches turns into enviable high-fashion fatale, capri pants are one of those styles not for the faint-hearted. According to H! Fashion’s Tania Leslau, who at the end of last year wore a stripey pair for a week straight, described the over-the-knee style as: “teetering between chic and questionable. Part nostalgia, part practical (no flashing on the underground here), they're perfect for in-office wear.”
Bella is, of course, in good company with her newfound love for the timeless style, Tania explaining that the style was: “Inspired by the effortless elegance of the Italian island of Capri, these cropped wonders quickly became the uniform of vacationing elites and Hollywood starlets.”
With London currently having a much welcome heat-wave, capris are the perfect stylish hybrid between shorts and long trousers, making them the perfect wardrobe essential for those who favour fashion over everything else.
