Bella Hadid is casually living my dream, and I'm not even mad...just deeply jealous! I'm out here begging for a text back from finance bros off Hinge while she's cosplaying as the lead of a steamy equestrian romance novel—with a criminally hot cowboy BF, I might add. The universe has favorites, and she is one!
The good news? At least I can cop her style. My relatable queen took to Instagram Stories on Monday to share snaps from her bestie's baby shower while outfitted in a totally affordable Mango dress. Thank you for saving my wallet this time around, Bells! She styled the under-$200 lace camisole design with a pair of brown cowboy boots for the perf western flair.
The dress is crafted from a lightweight and breezy polyester fabric that’s ideal for summer (I mean, hello, Bella wore it outside in the California heat), while the midi-length silhouette and delicate lace-trimmed v-neckline make it feel like the sorta vintage treasure you’d dig up at an overpriced thrift store. The built-in lining is just a bonus—and one you prob wouldn't find in an actual thrift store style.
Now, onto the accessories. Bella paired the lacy slip with a slouchy oversized tote, yellow-lensed sunglasses, and a few brown arm cuffs to finish the look. But, let's be so for real for a sec—it's the tall brown cowboy boots that really sell this 'fit for me. The combo feels effortless and cool. Not to mention, cowboy boots (and western inspo in general) are having a serious moment RN and not just for horse girls.
Bella Hadid-inspired cowboy boots
Tecovas The Abby Boot
Tecovas The Annie Boot
IUV Cowboy Boots
Dolce Vita Jody Boot
RAYE Cody Boot
Schutz Maryann Up Curve Boot
Tecovas' Annie Boot is a perf pick if you're looking for a classic cowboy boot—they come in practically every shade imaginable in luxe leather and suede—and the Abby is another (slightly taller) iteration with the same feel. Leaning more contemporary? A lil trendier? I'd go for this heeled Dolce Vita version or the Schutz Maryann Up Curve Boot, which leans more hot girl on a Nashville bachelorette than ranch hand, but they still have a western touch. This blue jean-inspired suede and leather design def deserves honorable mention.
Now that I hit "add to cart" on the dress and the boots...I just need the cowboy boyfriend. Anyone, anyone???
