Bella Hadid has succumbed to summer’s most coquettish granny trend: bloomers.
The Pirates of the Caribbean trousers the most stylish insiders are swooning over have captivated Hadid. Yes, we’re talking about those romantic long bloomers that look like they’ve been rescued from an antique wardrobe and that, until recently, we associated more with Victorian lingerie than contemporary street style. Now, they’re back as one of the most coveted pieces of the season, and Bella Hadid has just definitively confirmed their rise.
The model shared a carousel on her Instagram profile summarizing her last few days on the French Riviera, and in one of the photos, Hadid showcased a particularly striking look. Specifically, her outfit consisted of white, lingerie-inspired pants that perfectly captured the spirit of the season: romantic, carefree, and slightly theatrical. But these weren’t your average harem pants or the classic cover-ups we see everywhere; this was a much more refined style, closer to the concept of bloomers. With sheer fabrics, lightweight materials, and vintage touches, Bella Hadid succumbed to the most coquettish piece of the moment.

The curious thing is that these pants aren’t exactly new. Long before becoming trendy, bloomers were part of 19th-century women’s underwear. They were worn under voluminous skirts and long dresses as a functional and intimate garment. Today, however, the opposite is true, and they are deliberately displayed as current fashion trends have brought to the surface what was evvel forced to be hidden. They evoke that romantic femininity that fashion cyclically revives when the present becomes too rigid.
The most stylish insiders have already made them an obsession. Some pair them with bikinis and open shirts for a Mediterranean vibe; others wear them with satin ballet flats, tops, or oversized men’s jackets to create contrast. Because in 2026, bloomers are no longer seen as a naive garment, but as a stylistic statement full of intention.
Bella Hadid, for her part, looked like she had just stepped out of a Sofia Coppola sinema with her look: barefoot on a yacht in the Riviera, wrapped in translucent white fabrics, because if there’s one thing fashion has understood this season, it’s that fantasy is no longer about looking impeccable, but about appearing suspended in an eternal summer, and bloomers fit right into that narrative.
