Hadid signed to IMG Models in 2014. Following her appearance in Balmain Fall/Winter 2015 ad campaign (which she starred in alongside her sister), Hadid, in less than 2 years of modeling, skyrocketed to runway fame this season after she got a slow start last year walking in a handful of shows.

Personal life

In July 2014, Hadid was arrested and charged with a DUI. Her driver's license was suspended for one year and she was given six months of probation.

Hadid has been dating Canadian singer The Weeknd since early 2015. Some believed that the couples relationship was just a publicity stunt hence Bella's recent career boom, however paparazzi photos as well as their social media accounts have suggested otherwise.

It was revealed in 2015 that Hadid had Lyme disease and that her mother and younger brother are also battling it. They were all diagnosed with it in 2012.
