24 housr with Bella Hadid

6:30 A.M. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been a night owl and would sleep in as late as possible. I could stay in bed all day. Now that I’m a bit older, I like to get up around 10:30, but that doesn’t mean I can stay in bed all day. I usually have an early call time, so I get up around 6:30. I start the day by stretching a little bit, and then I check my phone to see if I’m late. I usually have about five minutes to get dressed and somehow make it out of the house on time, which is crazy. These days, I’m based in New York. I live with my godsister and best friend, Olivia [Perez]. We’ve lived together for about two years. I just moved into a new apartment, and I’m such a homebody now. When I’m there I really don’t leave. I go to work every day, and when I’m done I go back to my house and my bed. I love staying in hotels, but I’m always in hotels, so when I’m home in New York I just love being in my bed. There’s nothing better.

7:05 A.M. I love to shower in the morning before work, but sometimes I’m running a little late so I don’t get to. I saw this girl online who didn’t shampoo her hair for a month. I don’t think I could ever do that. What I wear depends on the day. Today I’m wearing a Givenchy tracksuit, but yesterday I dressed up. When I’m in New York, I tend to wear something casual because I like to be comfortable when I’m on set. Sometimes I’ll run out with a pair of sweats, and other times I’ll have a full look on, and I don’t know why. When it comes to shoes, I probably have 12 pairs of Nike Air Force 1’s in every color. I also love a good leather boot with a tight ankle so I can wear it with anything.

8:00 A.M. If I have the morning off, I’ll either make eggs and sausage, and eat breakfast at home, or go to the bagel store below my apartment. It’s so good, and they have so many different kinds of bagels. My go-to is an egg sandwich on a plain bagel. One time I wanted to be healthy and got a gluten-free bagel, but I promise you, they suck.

“I love painting pottery. I go to Color Me Mine in Tribeca a lot more than you probably should.”

8:15 A.M. In the car on the way to work, I’ll check my e-mails on my phone. I only get about five e-mails a day to my personal account. I used to get all those “we are having a special” blasts from stores that I didn’t even know why I was on their list. Now it’s usually just my call sheets or contracts. To keep in touch with my close friends, I’ll FaceTime them while I’m doing hair and makeup because I get bored, or I’ll call them after work. When we’re shooting I’m pretty on it. I’m not a big texter on set.

1:00 P.M. I have really low blood sugar, so I have to eat all the time. We break for lunch around 1 p.m. I’ll usually have salmon or chicken and veggies. If not, then pasta. I like having a good protein meal because I get really tired if I eat too much, so I try to fill myself up with things that will make me feel good. I order a lot of green juices and keep them around on set. I have ginger shots in a cooler, and I’ll drink one if I’m feeling low. I’m also a big coffee drinker. I’ll have three espressos before noon.

3:00 P.M. If I have a rare free afternoon off in New York, I love painting pottery. I go to Color Me Mine in Tribeca a lot more than you probably should. [My sister] Gigi and I have been playing there since we were kids, so it’s like home to us. We’ll be like, “Where do you want to go?” on a random Saturday, and that’s where we end up. The last thing I made was this skull mug that has X’s over the eyes. I go there to make presents for people because I love how it’s a personal and cute gift. If I’m in another city, like Paris, I’ll branch out and explore, but in New York I like going to dinner and being with my family. That’s what makes me happiest.

7:00 P.M. In my family, we always had dinner at 6, so when I became an adult and started living alone I still wanted to have an early dinner. All of my friends are like, “What do you mean, 7? Let’s go at 10.” Ten is my bedtime. If I eat dinner by myself, it’s at 7:30. I used to make dinner for myself all the time, but now when I leave work I order food, and it’s there by the time I get home. Westville is the restaurant I always order from. The sautéed kale is my favorite.

8:00 P.M. If I’m going out at night, I like to try new restaurants. Right now I like Socialista, a little jazz bar above Cipriani. It’s really cute. I’m very quick to get ready if I know what I’m going to wear. I’m the quickest of all my friends, so I put on music and have a little dance party while I’m waiting for them. I love Rihanna and Beyoncé. You have to like them to be a girl. Both of them are great, whether you’re sad, happy, want to get drunk, or never want to drink again. Doing my makeup takes about 15 minutes. I use Diorskin Forever foundation—it’s really light. I use concealer under my eyes and sometimes on my whole face because it’s not heavy. It still shows your freckles, but it gives you a base. There’s a Dior luminizer powder that I put on my cheekbones. You can also put it on your eyelids, which I love doing because it adds a lot of shimmer. For some contour, I use Diorblush, and I love gold shimmer on my eyes with mascara.
10:00 P.M. I can’t stay out late, especially now that I work every day of my life. But I’m really good at staying up late at home watching TV and not doing anything. I watch a lot of Netflix because I’m not home enough to start any new shows. I’m addicted to Family Guy, and I’m really into Black Mirror right now. I have steam in my shower, which is amazing, so I’ll steam in there and do a face mask before bed. I’m very quick to pass out once I get into bed, or even on a plane, if that’s where I am. Put me in an upright position and I’ll still fall asleep.
