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.
