Bella Hadid brought a little early-2000s nostalgia to the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show celebrations. After opening the 2026 runway show, the model switched things up for the after-party in Los Angeles. Her late-night look immediately drew comparisons to one of Britney Spears’ memorable fashion moments.
Bella Hadid brings major Britney Spears energy to VSFS after-party in fully see-through lace micro minidress
Check out Bella Hadid’s new lace look here:
For the after-party, Bella Hadid slipped into a completely see-through black lace micro minidress. The long-sleeved number featured a high neckline and an intricate floral lace pattern that stretched from top to bottom.
The sheer fabric left little hidden underneath, while the body-hugging silhouette closely followed Hadid’s figure. Its ultra-short scalloped hem landed high on her thighs, putting her legs on full display as she headed into the party.
Who What Wear compared the look to the black lace Dolce & Gabbana minidress Britney Spears wore to the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards. Side-by-side, the resemblance is hard to miss.
Hadid gave the throwback aesthetic her own spin. She wore her blonde hair in voluminous waves with a center part and added narrow black sunglasses for a sleek finish. Black pointed-toe pumps, several rings, and a sparkling silver bag completed her ensemble.
