"I went out and walked, and right before finale, when Prabal was about to go walk, I saw him tearing up and I just started crying because it was such a beautiful, moving show," Bella said.

Bella also cried after finding out she was going to close the Oscar de la Renta show on Monday, as it was such a big moment in her career. "I mean, literally, I also cried! I don't know if it's just a very emotional week, but that show has always been something really big to me," Bella said. "It's such an iconic brand and I've always looked up to the designers. I cried when I got the show in general, and then when I heard I was closing, I was at a loss for words. [That dress] was so beautiful; when I first tried it on, it was so incredible."
