Dressing up for date night might call attention to that little black dress and pair of strappy kitten heels that are hanging in your closet, but have you ever considered the humble cowboy boot as an option instead? Bella Hadid certainly did.
She headed out in New York City on Wednesday night not only wearing her own pair of earthy brown embroidered cowboy boots from M.L. Leddy’s, but also with a literal cowboy on her arm. For what it’s worth, boyfriend and Mexican-American horseman Adan Banuelos came decked out in his own authentic gear, including a black cowboy hat, blue leather cowboy boots, and a belt with an oversize gold buckle.
As for Hadid, the supermodel continued her love affair with western fashion by pairing her boots with a caramel leather lace-up corset, a denim midi skirt with cheetah print trim and brown patchwork pockets, and a stack of silver bracelets with turquoise inlays.

Hadid’s off-duty style has taken a hard turn into cowgirl dressing since her romance with Banuelos first went public in the fall of 2023. The wardrobe pivot can also be attributed to the time the couple has lately spent together in Texas, where Hadid—a lifelong equestrian—has been busy swapping the runway for the rodeo. This past year, she took part in several amateur horse-riding competitions.
Besides her trusty pair of cowboy boots, Hadid’s other recent rodeo-inspired looks have involved prairie crop tops, Daisy Dukes, bootcut pants, and ultra-distressed denim.
