Everyone talks big game about workout regimens, spending habits, and pie-in-the-sky manifestations during the weeks leading up to New Year's. But come Jan. 1, most of us don't even leave our couches. Relentless hangovers force many to press pause on any "new year, new me" goals, and the contrast from glitzy party dress to day-old PJs couldn't be more dramatic.

But one person did wake up on the first day of 2026, fully prepared for the year to come. Bella Hadid set the tone for '26, stepping out in full glam and an archival party dress. Honestly, she looked better on New Year's Day than I did on New Year's Eve.

The model spent her holiday in Aspen, CO with a group of friends. Though her outfits thus far have been more on the casual side, Hadid went high-glam for the first night of the year. Outfitted in vintage black lace, she revived the naked dress trend that fashion has largely moved away from.

Hadid wore a see-through, couture gown from Georges Chakra's 2004 runway, styling it with a pair of high-rise undies and translucent tights. Her accessories—a satin top-handle bag and a pair of square-toe boots—had a similar vintage feel. Given the snowy climate of the locale, Hadid chose to top her look with another vintage piece: a fur-lined suede coat.
