Watch: Yolanda Hadid Makes Rare Red Carpet Outing With Daughter Bella Hadid

Yolanda Hadid is the ultimate lady in red.

The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum made a rare red carpet appearance alongside daughter Bella Hadid at the Chopard Miracle Gala Evening during the Cannes Film Festival May 18.

For their mother-daughter outing—which marked Yolanda’s first red carpet appearance in four years—the 62-year-old opted for a red cinched waist shirtdress with pockets, which she paired with a silver necklace and matching teardrop earrings. 

Bella, 29, looked equally glamorous in a gold sequined Elie Saab gown, completing her look with a statement diamond necklace and diamond studded earrings. Yolanda’s son Anwar Hadid, 26, also joined his mom and sister for the evening.

Yolanda—who is also mom to daughter Gigi Hadid, 31, with ex Mohamed Hadid—has kept a low profile since leaving RHOBH in 2016 following her, Bella and Anwar’s Lyme disease diagnoses in 2012. 

And despite dealing with the chronic illness, she and Bella have also made it their mission to educate others about Lyme disease.

“I always say that we have to turn our mess into a message,” Yolanda told Vogue in 2021. “We’re both convinced that we shouldn’t just use our platforms to post selfies. We also try to use them as amplifiers to give a voice to those who can’t be heard.”

She added, “By sharing the more uncomfortable parts of our lives, we have the power to raise awareness.”

And while her journey with the diseases has been “an absolute nightmare,” the former reality star actually felt like her diagnosis taught her about the “patience and dedication” that she needed “in order to survive.”

“My ‘new normal’ is much slower and more in tune with who I am,” Yolanda shared. “I’ve also learned to love my authentic self with all my imperfections.”

“I’m grateful for every moment I get to spend on this planet with family and friends,” she continued. “Looking back, all those difficult times in my life were blessings in disguise.”

Yolanda also extends that gratitude for her kids, especially during Bella’s recent hospitalization due to the disease.

"I am so proud of the fighter that you are,” Yolanda wrote of Bella in a September Instagram post. "You are not alone, I promise to have your back every step of the way, no matter how long this takes.” Can link out to:
