Bella Hadid Wore a Micro-Mini LBD With a Massive Midriff-Baring Cutout

Bella Hadid may have skipped fashion month this year due to her ongoing Lyme disease battle, but she still managed to bless us with a stunning style moment while off the runway. 

On Friday, the model shared a slideshow of photos from a recent vacation, captioned: "August 2023." In the snaps, Bella posed next to a balcony overlooking the water at night while wearing the tiniest LBD imaginable. The strapless micro-minidress featured a super-short hemline and an oblong-shaped cutout at the midriff that extended from the top of her ribcage down to her belly button. From behind, two straps were tied together like a bandeau bikini top, while another huge cutout exposed nearly her entire back. She accessorized with two orange beaded bracelets on one wrist and ankle-strap sandals. 

Hadid kept her glam natural with wet beach-y waves that were tousled to the side, glowing skin, and minimal makeup. 

Last month, Bella gave fans a rare update about her health and explained why she's been missing from the spotlight for so long. Revealing that she was undergoing treatment for her Lyme disease, Bella told her 59.7 million followers, "I have so much gratitude for and perspective on life, this 100+ days of treatment, almost 15 years of invisible suffering, was all worth it if I’m able to, God willing, have a lifetime of spreading love from a full cup, and being able to truly be myself, for the first time ever." 

She went on to assure fans that she'll be back "when I'm ready."
