Bella Hadid Takes Her Mom To Vote For the First Time In The United States

Bella Hadid has certainly been active on Instagram about voting. The past month, she’s been posting information about voter registration, how to locate one’s polling station, and finally, her very own voting look along with the accessory du jour: an “I Voted” sticker. Today, Hadid had a stellar reason to post on Instagram: She got her mother Yolanda Hadid, who is Dutch and recently became an American citizen, to vote for the first time since she became a US citizen 6 years ago. To celebrate, the duo wore blue (which could be a symbolic nod to the Democratic party). Hadid wrote in her caption: “I am so proud of her!!! Wearing our best Blues!!!!!.” 

As to what went with those blues? Hadid wore a black hat that read “Fresh” from Williamsburg Pizza, a black puffer coat over her sky blue Chip Chrome sweatshirt, along with a pair of loose black jeans and a pair of chunky loafers and white socks. Mother Hadid opted for a pared-back look, which included a blue puffer coat (along with a tiny “I Voted” sticker!), light wash blue jeans, and for a comfort-forward touch, a pair of UGG boots. Finally, the two opted for matching black “I am a voter” masks by evolvetogether.

It’s no doubt a sweet, and powerful moment. Among the montage of leaf-strewn, autumnal voting look images, Hadid also posted a video of her mother wearing pigtails and pouring tea—the wall is covered in magazine covers of Gigi and Bella—and having a conversation with Bella about standing in line, and yes, voting.  “Your vote counts mommy!” Bella says, while Yolanda adds: “My one vote might make a difference! That’s why I’m voting in line right now.” Finally, Bella ends the conversation with these wise words: “That’s why you’re going to stand in line, with me, and we’re going to make a difference in America.”
