Bella Hadid is one of the most versatile fashion chameleons out there. She regularly changes up her whole look for runway shows and brand campaigns. Beauty-wise, we've seen her bleach and tweeze her brows, spin the wheel from no-makeup makeup looks to ultra-bold eyes and lips, and try out an endless revolving door of hairstyles.

In her own time, though, Bella tends to keep things pretty simple, defaulting back to her off-duty slicked-back bun or leaving her hair loose and center-parted. For a recent appearance at luxury Swiss jewelry brand Chopard's Ice Cube collection party in Dubai, though, she debuted a new hairstyle with a little help from the hair stylist Syd Hayes.

She kept her long raven hair loose and semi-straight, but she added full, choppy bangs. The bangs featured weight on either side of her temples, like an Andy Sachs Devil Wears Prada fringe, or a swishy librarian fringe, but the center saw her bangs become a little piecier, shorter and wispier to add a grungy edge to the look. Somehow, it managed to feel preppy, rebellious, and sexy all in one hit.

As for the rest of her outfit, Bella opted for a plunging chiffon mustard-colored floor-length gown embellished from top to bottom with beading. Meanwhile, her makeup artist, Nadia Tayeh, broke up the elegance for an ultra-sultry kohl-lined eye and a nude lip.

The whole look was a lesson in high-low dressing and the mussy fringe kept things from feeling too “done.” In fact, it's the type of chop that has range and would add some cool-girl detail to a casual t-shirt and jeans, too.

Bella's stylist, Molly Dickson, also showed the model in a second all-black outfit with the same choppy bangs and the rest of her hair in a half-up style. But, given how quickly she changes things up, we'll have to wait and see whether this is a look Bella Hadid will be keeping for the foreseeable future.
