Bella Hadid shooting in Paris: from catwalk to set
Over the past few days, Paris has been transformed into the setting for a dystopian series, as Ryan Murphy’s new production The Beauty has been filmed. And it’s an unrecognizable Bella Hadid who is attracting all eyes in the streets of the capital.
Gone are the catwalks and red carpets, replaced by stunts, futuristic looks and action scenes. Today, the catwalk star takes on a mysterious role, in what could well mark a decisive turning point in her career.
An unexpected heroine at the heart of a dystopian Paris
Plated hair, total leather look, bloody legs and roaring motorcycle: the fashion icon is now playing the dark heroine, far from her usual image. Spotted on several occasions between two intense scenes, Bella Hadid seems to be taking this new challenge in her stride.
The Beauty, a dark tale by Ryan Murphy
The Beauty series, adapted from the cult graphic novel by Jeremy Haun and Jason A. Hurley, imagines a world where an STD makes people more beautiful with every sexual encounter… until it kills them. An acerbic, stylized critique of our obsession with image, carried by the always disturbing and seductive universe of Ryan Murphy(American Horror Story, Glee, Pose…).
A five-star cast for a sultry series
While Bella Hadid’s exact role remains a secret for the time being, her mere presence in such a project is enough to send the media into a frenzy. She shares the bill with such big names as Evan Peters, Ashton Kutcher, Anthony Ramos, Jeremy Pope and Rebecca Hall. A prestigious cast for a sultry series, where beauty and danger intertwine.
A long-awaited release
Filmed between Venice and Paris, the series does not yet have an official release date, but is scheduled to air on FX, with a possible arrival on Disney+. In the meantime, images stolen from the Paris set are arousing curiosity. Between admiration for her physical transformation and excitement about her new role, Bella Hadid is already captivating viewers even before the first episode airs.
A new era for Bella Hadid?
One thing’s for sure: fashion hasn’t said its last word, but Bella Hadid is exploring a whole new playground. And Paris, always the capital of style, is the setting for this daring reconversion.
