“I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors. I think I would have grown into it.”
about her decision to have a nose job at the tender age of 14. “Every famous person has a game face,” the article notes, “But for Bella Hadid, who at 25 is asupermodel in the full flush of her fame, the chasm between public persona and private self feels uncommonly wide.”But her “shield and armour” – the shiny exterior she presents to the world – came at a price and it’s “nothing but a steel dam against a rising floodwater of tears”.
On the aforementioned nose job, Bella says that she definitely regrets it. “I wish I had kept the nose of my ancestors,” she says. “I think I would have grown into it.” She has been accused of visiting a plastic surgeon with photographs of Carla Bruni, the supermodel and former French first lady to whom she has often been compared. She has been accused of getting her eyes lifted, her jaw shaved, her lips filled. She says that none of this is true.
Well-versed in hiding her inner turmoil behind a smiley superficial surface, Bella said that she always felt she had something to prove – as she puts it, “When you give other people room to have opinions on things that are so personal to you, it poisons it.”Kirsten and Bella’s experiences are different, but also… kind of the same. Both uber-successful women in their fields, it would be easy to look at their fame, accomplishments, and supposed happiness and be envious.
Behind the scenes, both women were hiding their innermost feelings from the world. To movie aficionados, Kirsten Dunst was an up-and-coming actress with Hollywood at her feet. To the TikTok generation, Bella Hadid is one of the most beautiful women in the world with a wardrobe to kill for. But stardom and affluence don’t make you unsusceptible to the pitfalls of mental health – that is an unfortunate part of the human condition and one only open, honest conversation can really help destigmatise.
Those conversations have, thankfully, become a much more prominent part of daily life but there’s still a long way to go. According to a recent internal Facebook leak, the tech company has long been aware of the harmful effects its sister site Instagram has on teenage girls… and yet, absolutely nothing has been done.
