Bella Hadid might be deep in Aspen’s snow-globe fantasy, but her style compass is clearly still pointing to Manhattan. Because when the model stepped out for dinner at Matsuhisa, she didn’t just serve après-ski chic, she casually revived one of Sex and the City’s most iconic fashion obsessions.
Enter: the Fendi Mamma bag.

For the night out, Hadid leaned into her now-signature cold-weather uniform with a cropped corset-style top featuring a soft, draped neckline — equal parts sultry and intentional. She paired it with low-rise black leather flared trousers (because of course she did), cinched at the waist with a bold Western belt that grounded the look in her trademark off-duty cool.
A Valentino shearling fur coat already a repeat offender during her Aspen stay brought the drama and the necessary mountain glamour. But the real conversation starter sat casually on her shoulder: a cheetah-print vintage Fendi Mamma bag. Slightly roomier than Carrie Bradshaw’s beloved baguette, yet just as statement-making, the bag felt like a knowing nod to early-2000s fashion nostalgia.

It wasn’t just a throwback for throwback’s sake. The accessory doubled down on two of Hadid’s favourite style territories: vintage fashion and the ongoing animal-print renaissance. Finished with Tom Ford–era Gucci glasses, sleek black riding boots, and leather gloves, the look was polished, intentional, and quietly loud the kind of outfit that doesn’t chase attention but still owns the room.
Earlier in the week, Hadid rang in 2026 at Kate Hudson’s star-studded New Year’s Eve party, blending après-ski ease with barely-there glamour in a sheer vintage Georges Chakra dress layered under a fur-lined suede coat. In true Bella fashion, her Aspen appearances have ranged from quilted Chanel bags and Ugg boots to lace cardigans and flared denim proof that her winter wardrobe is anything but predictable.

It may be a new year, but Bella Hadid is still fluent in the art of statement dressing and this time, she’s reminding us that Carrie Bradshaw’s influence never really left the chat.
