When it comes to the queen Bella Hadid, we all know she makes a bombshell statement wherever she landsāand her recent Cannes appearance? There’s a reason why she’s the It-girl of the century.
The supermodel touched down on the iconic French Riviera to attend the 78th Cannes Film Festival and debuted a whole new vibe, switching her signature dark brown hair for fresh blonde locks.
And while she strutted and served on the red carpet wearing an equally gorgeous custom Saint Laurent dress (whew, lewks for the books tbh) and blinged with Chopard emerald and diamond earringsāit’s needless to say she was the moment.
But, it seems new fans of the model aren’t just obsessing over the new glam era, they also clocked a dainty little detail that had everyone zoomin’ in: Bella’s Arabic ink on her arm.
While she’s had the delicate Arabic tattoo for years now (since November 2020 to be exact), her dress-defying ‘fit, which became viral, brought it back into the spotlight.
First things first, no, it’s def not for the aesthetic. Surely a nod to her Palestinian roots from her father’s side, the tattoo on her right arm reads “Ų£ŲŲØŁ (uhibbuk)” in Arabic script, which means “I love you.”
Sweet? Yes. Meaningful? Absolutely. But wait, there’s more.
While the sweet “I love you” phrase was on inked on her right arm, she also has a matching tattoo on her left, that reads “ŲŲØŁŲØŁ (habibi)”, which as many would know, means “My Love.”
These spots in Dubai are Bella-Hadid approved btw.
