In recent years, celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Paris Hilton have revived fashion trends that were popular in the 2000s. Even fashionista Bella Hadid has worn everything from cargo trousers and chunky trainers to platform sandals and a leather-on-leather ensemble.

Hadid channelled the 2000s with her metallic trousers and matching newsboy cap and blazer.

She arrived at the 2019 Tommy Hilfiger and Zendaya runway show in an outfit from the designer, which included a houndstooth blazer and wide-legged metallic trousers.

Her entire look was reminiscent of another era. Embellished denim pieces were popular in the early 2000s, and the newsboy cap has made a recent comeback, with designers such as Coach reviving the accessory.

In January, Hadid wore a leather vest that gave the illusion of a halter top.

The model paired the top – part of Tommy Hilfiger’s collection with Zendaya – with matching flare leather trousers and a shoulder bag from Le Petits Joueurs.

Hadid’s top may have been a nod to the halter neckline that was popular in the early 2000s, but her choice to wear leather-on-leather was also a nod to decades past. In 2019, stylists predicted that outfits with leather would continue to be an increasingly popular trend.
