Bella Hadid explains why she ‘Struggle’ during the Victoria’s Secret fashion show

Bella Hadid has won the hearts of fans over her slow and seemingly strained walk at the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

The 29-year-old supermodel took to her Instagram stories after the event to explain that her struggle wasn’t due to health issues, it was because of the massive wings she wore while closing the show.

“Ok we’re not going to pretend these wings weren’t 50 pounds but HOW BEAUTIFUL,” Bella wrote in a now-deleted post, revealing the true reason behind her cautious movements.

The Orabella founder, stunned in a shiny silver fringed outfit with giant white wings, finished off the star-studded show in New York City on Wednesday night.

While she began the night in red-hot lingerie, in her final walk, she looked slower and more careful, prompting fans to speculate that her previous Lyme disease affects her.

The moment came just weeks after Bella’s mother, Yolanda Hadid, shared photos of her daughter in the hospital, calling her a “fighter” amid her long battle with Lyme disease.

Fans are now praising Bella's struggle, saying even the disease or heavy feathers couldn’t stop her from shining.
