Gigi and Bella Hadid Offer a Glimpse Into Their Painting Pool Party With Antoni and Other Friends
Bella’s bikini even served as a subtle shoutout to her sister
Reported by Harper's Bazaar.
Leave it to the Hadid sisters to make a Saturday afternoon look like an editorial shoot and an art class at the same time. Gigi and Bella recently gathered poolside with a small circle — Queer Eye's Antoni Porowski, Patrick Dooley, and Leah McCarthy — for what turned out to be less "influencer content" and more genuine afternoon off. According to Harper's Bazaar, the group traded their phones for watercolor sets, and the results were apparently worth posting: Bella rendered a lighthouse detailed enough to earn serious respect, and Gigi was dubbed the "watercolor princess" by McCarthy after she showed up hauling everyone's supplies.
The Swimwear Situation Was Its Own Story
Gigi kept it classic — a white bikini with red polka dots from Bella Venice, thrown on under cream sweatpants and a red Barbados baseball cap. Relaxed, retro, no-effort-looking but obviously considered. Bella, meanwhile, made her outfit a quiet declaration of sisterhood: she wore a bow-detailed bikini from the Frankie's Bikinis x Gigi Hadid collaboration, pulling directly from her older sister's own design work. It was a low-key flex — the kind of support that doesn't need a caption.
Bella's styling didn't stop at the swimsuit. She layered on white sweatpants covered in purple gingham patches with silky drawstring ribbons and floral leg embroidery — the kind of piece that sounds chaotic on paper but reads as effortlessly specific when you see it. Later she swapped into a sage green bikini set, because apparently one look wasn't enough for an afternoon that also involved snacking, swimming, and producing actual artwork.
What makes the whole thing resonate isn't the swim style or the Instagram content — it's that Bella wore Gigi's collab without fanfare, and Gigi showed up as the group's unofficial supply runner. The most stylish thing these two do is make it look easy to genuinely have each other's backs.
