Bella Hadid and Gigi Hadid have conquered catwalks from Paris to Milan — but they got a few pointers on how to master a new runway: the wedding aisle.
The Victoria’s Secret Angels prepared for their sister Alana Hadid’s nuptials by getting walking lessons as seen in a new video shared via Instagram by event planner Melissa Andre on Wednesday, October 22.
“And the final part of planning a wedding … the ceremony rehearsal 🤍,” Andre captioned her post, showing moments leading up to the highly anticipated event. “Over the moon to have helped my sweet friend of over a decade, Alana, celebrate her love story this weekend @lanzybear.”
At the start of the clip, Bella, 29, was advised to slightly lower her hands when holding her bouquet. “Oh, you’re so pretty!” Andre said in approval as the model correctly applied her suggestion and began to practice with a few steps forward. “You’re such a good bridesmaid.”
“Thank you so much, I’ve been working my whole life for this moment,” Bella said with a smile as Andre sweetly replied by telling her, “It’s your time to shine.”
Gigi, 30, then got her lesson, with Andre giving her the seal of approval by stating, “No notes.”
Moments after, blushing bride-to-be Alana, 42, was seen practicing a slow walk toward her father, Mohamed Hadid, before handing off her bouquet to Bella.
“My liege,” Bella quipped while doing the motion to grab her flowers on the big day. (Gigi and Bella along with brother Anwar are the children of Mohamed and Yolanda Hadid, while Alana is one of his two daughters from his first marriage to Mary Butler. Alana’s sister is Marielle Hadid. Mohamed also shares daughter Aydan Nix with Terri Hatfield Dull.)
Gigi and Bella were ready to rock for the wedding as the duo had walked the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show days before, on October 15.
For the rehearsal, Alana stunned in a beaded Clio Peppiatt dress, later donning a two-piece set by Sandra Mansour.
“I definitely did a lot of looks,” Alana told British Vogue, noting she “waited a long time to get married!”
Bella and Gigi served as bridesmaids — going barefoot — for the special occasion as Alana said “I do” with now-husband, producer Ross Williams, during the romantic ceremony held at Mohamed’s residence in Los Angeles on Saturday, October 18.
Alana looked elegant in a vintage Vivienne Westwood gown for the ceremony, opting for jewelry by Dorsey and a custom diamond and gold band by Sofia Kaman. The creative director of Watermelon Pictures also wore something with sentimental value: her mother Mary’s amethyst earrings.
“[When] I tried it on, I immediately knew it was mine,” she recalled of her dress. “I think it was like a size 16 or something, which was actually so perfect, because it had no draping, no ruching — just amazing sleeves. Because it was larger, my tailor could do all the alterations and make it mine.”
Alana allowed her bridal party including Gigi, Bella and half-sister Marielle to choose what they wanted to wear, but they all stuck to the same green color theme, also rocking Dorsey jewelry.
The couple’s ceremony was officiated by one of Alana and Williams’ best friends, which made the memory even more special and brought them all closer together.
“It was really about us expressing to each other and what it meant to become a family,” Alana shared. “It was very personal; we wrote our own vows and said something for Ross’ daughter, now my step-daughter.”
