[birds chirping]

- [Interviewer] You know, Bella, I have to say that

it's so cool to be able to ask

73 questions at a horse stable.

- How cool is this?

- [Interviewer] It's... whoa!

We have horses that are- - Good morning!

- [Interviewer] This is legit!

How often are you riding these days?

- Not as much as I used to.

- [Interviewer] And you did this competitively.

- I did for 10 years.

- [Interviewer] How many competitions did you ride?

- Probably hundreds at this point.

- [Interviewer] When did you really

fall in love with the sport?

- I fell in love with this sport

when I realized that horses can be my best friend.

- [Interviewer] Can we go see the horses?

- Yes please.

- [Interviewer] Let's go. - Okay.

- [Interviewer] Where were you born?

- I was born in Washington D.C.

- [Interviewer] And how often do you go back home to LA?

- I go back as much as I can but it ends up being

every month or so.

- [Interviewer] What would you say

is the biggest difference between the coasts?

- Probably the change of pace or the weather.

- [Interviewer] Okay. What's the most

Californian thing about you?

- Hi baby.

Probably how much I love nature and animals.

- [Interviewer] Nice.

What's something that immediately

jumps to mind when you think of your childhood?

- Probably my horse, Lego.

- [Interviewer] A horse named Lego...

- He actually looks just like this one.

[laughing]

- [Interviewer] What is your current obsession?

- My current obsession is chocolate.

I never really was big chocolate fan,

but recently I just... obsession came up.

- [Interviewer] What's something

everyone needs to read right now?

- Everyone needs to read "Believe Me" by Yolanda Hadid.

- [Interviewer] What goes through your mind

as you're being photographed?

- Umm, be fierce, be fierce, be fierce.

But don't be too fierce, because apparently

it really freaks people out.

- [Interviewer] What are you often told

when people work with you?

- I get told that people don't think

I'm as nice as I am and I guess

the resting bitch face kind of throws them off.

- [Interviewer] Who do you consider to be a mentor?

- My mom is my mentor.

- [Interviewer] What qualities of hers do you most admire?

- Her work ethic and how strong she is.

- [Interviewer] Your Instagram handle

is a butterfly. Why is that?

- I think butterflies really represent me.

Growing up in my family, my mother always kind of

put that around us, so I guess at this point,

I'm just the butterfly of our family.

- [Interviewer] Is it true that you enrolled

as a photography student before you started modeling?

- It's true. I never left the house without my camera.

And then I went to school for photography

and film at Parsons.

- [Interviewer] So why photography?

- Why photography?

I just love making art.

I love lighting, I love holding a camera,

I love, you know, being able to take a picture

and set a time and place and capture emotion.

- [Interviewer] Is there an image-

oh,

someone wants attention-

is there an image or artist that sparked your passion?

- You know, Steven Meisel. Growing up,

I think all of his pictures from the '90s,

and I mean up until now he's such an iconic photographer.

He actually made me love photography and modeling.

- [Interviewer] And if you could sit down

with any of the masters, who would it be for?

- Ooo, Annie Leibovitz.

- [Interviewer] What is the bravest thing

that you've ever done?

at your 5 o'clock...

we've ever had a cameo - featuring a little goat.

- This is Oliva.

- [Interviewer] Hi Olivia,

you're so sweet.

- She's a beautiful rescue goat

and we're very happy she's alive.

than this scene that I'm looking at right now?

- I believe in horoscopes a little bit more than I should.

- [Interviewer] And what's your sign?

- I'm a Libra.

- [Interviewer] What qualities of that sign pertain to you?

- I think probably that I want everybody

to be happy all the time and also that I can never

make a decision for myself.

- [Interviewer] And who makes you laugh the hardest?

- My boyfriend.

to yourself 10 years from now?

- 10 years from now, I-

excuse me, Olivia.

Where do you think you're going?

You're gonna be on Vogue, baby!

Um, I think 10 years from now, I would tell myself,

"I'm very proud of you."

- [Interviewer] And what would you say to yourself

five years ago?

- Five years ago?

"Keep going."

- [Interviewer] Nice.

So, holiday season is approaching,

what do you and the family have planned?

- Goodbye, Olivia.

For the holidays, I'm doing absolutely nothing.

- [Interviewer] What are the Hadid holiday traditions?

- We just like to all be together

no matter where we are, doesn't really matter.

We all have such busy schedules these days that

I think that it's just nice that

we can finally take time for ourselves.

Hello, beautiful.

Oh,

pretty hungry.

It was one I could never forget.

- [Interviewer] Before what show

have you been the most nervous?

- Ooo, probably my first Chanel show.

It was a big dream of mine, so

being able to walk that show was huge.

- [Interviewer] On average, how many seconds

are you allowed between Victoria Secret changes mid-show?

- Ooo, I think we have like two minutes

but we're pretty quick, so 30 seconds is all we need.

- [Interviewer] Okay. We have baby horses here.

- Oh my gosh,

this is Rock Star.

- [Interviewer] Hi, Rock Star.

- Hi beautiful.

- [Interviewer] Bella, what do you consider

to be your biggest career success?

- My biggest success is probably

my health and my mental state right now.

- [Interviewer] What's something that will always

be in fashion no matter how much time passes?

- I think kindness will always be in fashion.

You can have it!

Please take it.

- [Interviewer] So Bella, what are my chances I can...

- Do you want to feed him one?

- [Interviewer] Yes, thought you would never ask.

Alright, this is me, attempting to feed a baby...

this is me getting rejected

by a baby horse.

This is not working.

- He only wants my carrots.

- [Interviewer] Is it true that

you hate getting your nails done?

Because it's a task for me.

I would rather be doing things like this.

are the most important things to me.

Hi, baby.

without fail, every single day?

- Every single day? Probably my lip glow.

- [Interviewer] And looking into your crystal ball,

about the modeling industry?

- The hardest thing about the modeling industry

is probably getting respect from my peers.

so if you can't be kind and work hard,

there's no reason to do it.
