Bella Hadid's hottest Instagrams of 2016

December 19, 2016 at 5:13 p.m.·2 min read

To say that Bella Hadid had a breakout year in 2016 would be an understatement. The in-demand model, whose older sister, Gigi, had a similarly massive year in 2015, had her moment (and then some) over the past twelve months.

One of the biggest moments for the 20-year-old bombshell, who broke up with singer The Weeknd earlier this fall after dating for over a year, this year was her debut in November's Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, the most iconic runway show in the world.

Bella was also completely unavoidable during every single international fashion week this year. From Milan to Paris to New York and London, the brunette beauty was as popular as ever. Not only that, but her show-stopping red carpet gown at the 2016 Cannes Film Festival was arguably the single most memorable red carpet moment of the year.

She also continued to grow her social media dominance in 2016, sharing an endless stream of stunning, sexy, high-fashion and effortless photos that demonstrated why she continues to book some of the biggest fashion campaigns in the world. When she wasn't on set of a photo shoot or walking down the runway, Bella was most likely hanging out with her famous girlfriends in New York City or on a beach somewhere. Natch, it was all documented on social media.

Check out her hottest Instagrams of 2016:

Congrats on a banner year, Bella! We can't wait to see what 2017 brings.

A passenger plane skidded off a runway at a South Korean airport Sunday, slammed into a concrete fence and burst into flames after its front landing gear apparently failed to deploy. The Jeju Air plane crashed while landing in the town of Muan, about 290 kilometers (180 miles) south of Seoul. The Transport Ministry said the plane was a 15-year-old Boeing 737-800 jet that had arrived from Bangkok and that the crash happened at 9:03 a.m.

Tornadoes in Texas and Mississippi kill 2 and injure 6 as severe weather system moves east
A strong storm system threatened to whip up tornadoes in parts of the U.S. Southeast on Sunday, a day after severe weather claimed at least two lives as twisters touched down in Texas and Mississippi. Strong storms moving across the Southeast are expected to continue producing “gusty, damaging winds,” hail and tornadoes through Sunday, National Weather Service meteorologist Frank Pereira said. “It’s not unheard of but it is fairly uncommon to have a severe weather outbreak of this magnitude this late in the year,” he said.

German politicians decry Elon Musk's AfD support as 'intrusive' election influence
U.S. billionaire Elon Musk drew criticism from German politicians from the government and opposition on Sunday for an opinion piece he wrote backing the right-wing Alternative for Germany (AfD) which they deemed "intrusive" outside influence. The support of the AfD from Musk, who is set to serve U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's administration as an outside adviser, comes as Germans are set to vote on Feb. 23 after a coalition government led by Chancellor Olaf Scholz collapsed. The commentary published in German in the Welt am Sonntag newspaper, flagship of the Axel Springer media group, expanded on a post by Musk on social media platform X last week in which he wrote "only the AfD can save Germany" and praised the party's approach to regulation, taxes and market deregulation.
