Bella Hadid and friend Fanny look happy during beach vacation to celebrate the model’s 24th birthday in new throwbacks photos

Bella Hadid and her best friend, Fanny Bourdette-Donon, looked happier than ever on a sun-soaked vacation in throwbacks photos from her epic birthday getaway.

After sharing shots of herself epitomizing beach glamour for a Versace shoot over the summer, the catwalk star, 24, continued to reminisce over swimsuit season.

While the stunner opted not to tag her location, the bikini-clad duo appeared to be blissfully floating in Caribbean-style waters, as they displayed their trim figures.

As Bella donned a tiny white two-piece, she had one arm wrapped around her pal’s shoulders and was completely relaxed on the water’s surface.

For their swim, the honorary ‘sister’ of one of the world’s biggest supermodels rocked a leopard print thong bikini, which showed off her envy-inducing midriff. 

The pair were beaming as they enjoyed the warm tropical breeze and posed for another picture standing in the water with gleeful expressions across their faces.

In a close-up of her face, the Vogue cover girl’s eyes were shut and she looked perfectly sun-kissed with rosy cheeks and a few freckles on her makeup free face. 

Additionally, while running a hand through her wet tresses, she flashed a wrist full of stunning gold bracelets, which coordinated with the chain around her neck. 

During her fun-filled birthday excursion earlier this month, they also partied with pals Devon Lee Carlson, Jesse Jo Stark and Alana O’Herlihy, before returning to NYC.

Just weeks ago, the Victoria’s Secret model also became a first-time aunt, after her elder sister, Gigi, welcomed a baby girl with her beau Zayn Malik.  

Gigi confirmed her pregnancy on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon in late April.

Meanwhile Bella’s representative recently denied rumors she is dating Jack Nicholson’s grandson Duke, telling E! News she is ‘single and not in a relationship.’

On Wednesday, Bella reposted a checklist of how her ‘goals have changed’ including ‘getting married when I am ready’ rather than before age 30 and ‘finding someone who I deeply connect with’ rather than the most attractive.

Hadid has been single ever since ending her on/off romance with three-time Grammy winner The Weeknd in August 2019.

‘Bella is prepping for her fashion week commitments and Abel is working on his music and his upcoming acting debut,’ a source told the outlet.
