Supermodel Bella Hadid heads to famous budget fried chicken shop in London’s Brick Lane after wowing on the Cannes red carpet

Supermodel Bella Hadid swapped the red carpet for an altogether more low-key experience when she headed to a famous budget chicken shop in London’s Brick Lane on Friday.

The fashion icon, 28, was seen heading to Morley’s chicken shop – perhaps for an interview with Amelia Dimoldenberg on her Chicken Shop Date.

Meanwhile the favourite covergirl strutted the streets of East London as if it was her own catwalk, sporting denim, a brown top and a chic ruffled cardigan.

Bella – who was named Model of the Year by the British Fashion Council in 2022 – carried the essentials for her outing in a brown tasseled tote bag and finished off with stilettos.

The sister of fellow supermodel Gigi looked ravishing, adding a pair of oval animal-print shades to tote the ensemble, showing off her newly-debuted blonde tresses.

Her sighting in London and her show-stopping display at Cannes Film Festival comes after the American beauty argued it should be illegal to model when menstruating and made a very racy remark in a candid new interview.

The modelling legend showed off her incredible figure as she posed topless before going braless beneath a chainmail co-ord set for a stunning Vogue photoshoot.

In a wide-ranging chat, Bella discussed her debilitating battle with chronic illness and why she wants The White House to give women two weeks off while menstruating.

She kicked things off with an X-rated remark as she made an outrageously cheeky joke about oral sex while apologising for having to previously cancel the interview.

Describing cancelling as her ‘worst nightmare’, Bella quipped: ‘I’ll give you a b**w job on the side! Just close your eyes!’ in a flippant remark to the Vogue journalist.

In a more serious turn, Bella went on to discuss the reality of living with Lyme disease, endometriosis, polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder (PMDD).

Endometriosis is a disease in which cells similar to the womb lining grow outside the uterus and cause severe pain, while PCOS is a hormonal disorder characterised by irregular periods and PMDD is a menstrual syndrome which impacts mood.

Opening up on her difficulties, Bella revealed she wants women to get two weeks off while menstruating and said it should be ‘illegal’ to model while on her period.

‘We get our periods. You’re shooting Victoria’s Secret on your period, with endo. That should be illegal,’ she told British Vogue’s June issue.

Bella appeared in her highest spirits and smiled gently while jumping off her chaffeur car 

‘I’m going to talk to the White House about it, because we should literally ban women working on the week of their period. And the week before, to be honest.’

Bella said she often ‘pushes’ herself to work 14-hour days in fashion but it eventually results in her burning out, adding that she is in therapy to work on her confidence.

She said working can be hard because ‘nobody really understands chronic illness’ and admitted that some days she can find it even difficult to take a shower. 

‘But sometimes, if I have one day off, if I can get in the shower and make myself breakfast, I see that as an accomplishment,’ she confessed, adding that she can be in ‘excruciating pain’ some mornings.

Bella also gave an insight into her new life in Texas with her boyfriend, cowboy Adan Banuelos, and told how she met him while visiting her mother Yolanda Hadid.

 She revealed Adan, 35, was completely unaware of her worldwide fame when they first met and described him as a ‘breath of fresh air’.

Detailing their first meeting at a horse show, she shared: ‘He basically came in, walked into the exhibit hall, which is where we do all of the show stuff.

Bella also gave an insight into her new life in Texas with her boyfriend, cowboy Adan Banuelos (pictured in September), and revealed she wants to start a family 

‘I was getting a cowboy hat fitted. I just saw him and I was like that’s the… I always wanted the cowboy. And he’s pretty gorgeous, let me tell you something.’

She also revealed she is looking ahead to starting a family and said she ‘cannot wait’ to become a mother.

‘Family is on my mind. I can’t wait to be a mom. I think that I’m somebody for a lot of people,’ she gushed. 

‘But in the real intimate way of being the person that somebody can count on consistently, that will change my life for me, and I cannot wait.’

It is unclear how long Bella and Adan have been dating and they generally keep their relationship under wraps. 

They were first spotted together in October 2023 walking through the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. 

They went official on Valentine’s Day 2024, when Bella posted a picture of Adan to her Instagram Stories calling him ‘My Valentine’.
