DUBAI: Birthday tributes poured in for US-Palestinian model Bella Hadid this week as the catwalk star celebrated her 25th birthday on Oct. 9. “We celebrate you today and every day @bellahadid. She’s my baby sister but also a firecracker of a spiritual body guard and a forever protector as an auntie. I have so much pride watching you take ownership of your growth and fulfillment, and I know everything that you have created for yourself will bring you the year of joy and light you deserve! Can’t wait. 25! I love you more every sun-lap,” her sister and fellow model Gigi wrote on Instagram.
