Bella Hadid isn't just a buckle bunny in real life—she also plays one on television. On Sunday, the supermodel made a surprise cameo appearance in the final season of Yellowstone, Paramount's hit Western drama. In many ways, her appearance was inevitable. Hadid has been a horse girl all her life, but her commitment to the cowgirl lifestyle rocketed to a whole new level when she started dating rodeo champion Adan Banuelos in October 2023. Now, when she's not riding horses through the streets of New York City, she lives full-time in Texas and can probably be found racking up awards in competition with her boyfriend by her side.
Hadid's star turn on Yellowstone sees her transform into Sadie, the sassy strip poker-playing girlfriend of Texas horse trainer Travis Wheatley, in the show's penultimate episode. But according to costume designer Johnetta Boone, outfitting the character didn't require much imagination. Hadid has been saddling up in cowboy boots, flare jeans, turquoise jewelry, and suede fringe bags on a daily basis for more than a year now.
