Bella Hadid Channels Britney Spears in Sheer Lace at Victoria's Secret After-Party

Bella Hadid celebrated the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2026 by channeling pop icon Britney Spears in a daring, sheer black lace minidress for the event's after-party. The look, worn to the gathering at the Bird Streets Club in West Hollywood, echoed Spears' memorable Dolce & Gabbana ensemble from the 2001 MTV Video Music Awards.

Hadid's outfit featured a high neckline and long sleeves, constructed from a completely see-through black floral lace. Underneath, she wore a matching black bra and a minimal string thong, maintaining the provocative vibe she displayed on the runway. The ensemble was completed with black pointed-toe pumps, sunglasses, and a small metallic handbag.

The 30-year-old model had a significant night, having opened the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show earlier that evening in Los Angeles. She made her runway debut in a floral-themed outfit with large wings and later appeared in an all-white ensemble also featuring oversized wings and a matching swing dress worn over her lingerie. The show featured fellow models including Gigi Hadid, Ashley Graham, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Adriana Lima.
