In 2022, Bella Hadid opened up about suffering from Imposter Syndrome and revealed all the insecurities she had during her teen years being the younger sister of Gigi Hadid. During an interview with Vogue, the 26-year-old admitted to being in a self-doubt phase that made her feel “ugly.” She revealed she had a nose job at 14 but now wishes she should have “kept the nose of [her] ancestors.” “I think I would have grown into it,” she added.
Bella continued to reveal how she believed she was the “uglier sister” by following people’s comments. She said, “I was the uglier sister. I was the brunette. I wasn’t as cool as Gigi, not as outgoing.” “When you get told things so many times, you do just believe it. I always ask myself, how did a girl with incredible insecurities, anxiety, depression, body-image issues, eating issues, who hates to be touched, who has intense social anxiety – what was I doing getting into this business?” she added.
