If there’s one thing the Hadid family never does halfway, it’s style, so when Gigi and Bella Hadid showed up barefoot to their sister Alana Hadid’s wedding, the internet collectively gasped (and then took notes). Forget the towering heels and tight dresses; this was a bridesmaid moment that screamed undone glamour.
The supermodel sisters flew from the buzz of New York Fashion Week to the serene Los Angeles estate of their father, Mohamed Hadid, where Alana said “I do” to Emmy-winning producer Ross Williams on October 18, 2025. It was intimate, emotional, and, unsurprisingly, photogenic.
But this wasn’t your usual celebrity spectacle. The ceremony felt more like a cozy backyard fête than a Hollywood gala. The Hadid sisters, barefoot and glowing, brought a touch of high-fashion boho to a family affair that managed to be both laid-back and luxe.
Think: California fall sunshine, string lights, eucalyptus garlands, and a guest list made up of family, fashion insiders, and longtime friends. Alana’s ceremony and reception were intimate in the best sense, held at her father’s estate to create a celebration that felt personal, not staged.
Alana selected a vintage off-the-shoulder gown from Vivienne Westwood, vintage-meets-modern jewelry, and a custom gold band. But she gave her bridal party freedom: Gigi, Bella, and half-sister Marielle picked their own dresses—while still sticking to a sage-green palette that floated beautifully outdoors. Their brother Anwar Hadid served as “male-of-honor,” solidifying the sibling squad energy.
Then the footwear twist: the models stepped down the aisle barefoot, showing off white pedicures and celebrating a look that felt grounded, genuine, and refreshing in a world of sky-high heels and over-the-top bridesmaid gowns.
Sage Green, Sisters United: Bella chose a plunging, pleated bodice and thigh-high slit gown; Gigi opted for a high-neck maxi dress with a draped sleeve and gold wrist cuffs. Both kept their makeup natural, hair loose, and vibe effortless. The result? A scene that felt equally bridal and true to their identities.
Feet Free, Feel Light: Going barefoot doesn’t mean unfinished, it means intention. By stepping away from the conventional shoe game, they let the natural surroundings shine and gave off serious “day-in-the-sun celebration” energy. It’s a move that says: “We’re here, we look good, and we don’t need stilettos to prove it.”
Match the Mood: When the bride gives you creative freedom, use it. The sage dresses, relaxed elegance, and barefoot twist all nodded to an outdoor, nature-infused wedding that prioritized comfort and authenticity. Brides and grooms: take notes.
In a wedding world saturated with gown reveals and perfect photo ops, this celebration stood out for its authenticity. Gigi and Bella didn’t just show up as high-profile bridesmaids, they brought intention to the aisle.
Their barefoot moment wasn’t about freedom for freedom’s sake; it was about connection, ease, and making sure the day reflected who they are. For today’s couples wanting elegance and ease, this is your inspiration.
