At The Fashion Awards 2022, American Bella Hadid has been crowned Model of the Year.
In London, the 26-year-old was named winner of the prestigious award.
A title that runs in the family, with her sister Gigi claiming the win in 2016.
Unable to attend in person, Hadid sent a pre-recorded video message, with a special thanks to her refugee father and immigrant mother.
“Being the daughter of a refugee father from Palestine, and an immigrant mother from Holland, there’s a sort of work ethic that runs in our blood…
It’s not to be the best. It’s not to be better than others. It’s just to be able to succeed because our ancestors have never had an opportunity like this in their lifetime. This is for the Palestinian children. This is for the Dutch children. This is for any child, immigrant or refugee.”
