Bella Hadid lands her first pair of angel wings with new tattoos

Share this:

Bella Hadid officially has her wings! The model appears to have ensured she will never forget her debut at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show by getting a tiny pair of angel wings inked onto her skin.

The 20-year-old enlisted New York based tattoo artist JonBoy (Jonathan Valena) for her new ink, and he proudly showed off his masterpiece on social media.

Sharing black and white photos of the intricate wings that he tattooed on each of Bella's ankles, he simply wrote 'Fly'. The tattoo artist also posted a photo of himself and Bella together at his studio, with the model showing off her signature style in leather trousers, a varsity style jacket and quirky sunglasses.

Bella achieved her dream of becoming a Victoria's Secret model in November when she joined her sister Gigi Hadid on the runway in Paris. Speaking to us backstage, the model admitted she had cried when she found out she had been cast for the show.

"My agent rang me to tell me I'd got it and I cried and I cried – I was so happy!" Bella said. "It's such an incredible feeling because you work really hard – I've worked my butt off to get into the shape I'm in and be strong and confident so it's an honour to be here."

Others have suggested that Bella got the new tattoos in response to the news that her ex-boyfriend The Weeknd has moved on with Selena Gomez, two months after their split.

Bella unfollowed Selena on social media after photos were released of the singers kissing, and has since showed her ex exactly what he's missing by posting a clip of herself in a revealing swimsuit.

Selena and The Weeknd – real name Abel Tesfaye – have reportedly been spending time together since before Christmas, and while they originally wanted to keep their budding romance under wraps, they no longer mind if everyone knows about them.

"[The Weeknd] always had a thing for Selena," a source told E! News. "He thinks she is extremely talented and sexy. They recently started talking before the holidays but she has been on his radar before. They are on the same level with expectations and think the other is really fun. They are taking things slow and getting to know each other."
