Bella and Gigi Hadid took running lessons before sister Alana’s wedding
Bella Hadid And Gigi Hadid have conquered catwalks from Paris to Milan – but they’ve picked up a few tips on how to master a new catwalk: the wedding aisle.
The Victoria’s Secret Angels prepared for their sister Alana Hadid‘s wedding by taking running lessons, as seen in a new video shared via Instagram by the event planner Melissa Andre on Wednesday, October 22.
“And the final part of planning a wedding… the ceremony rehearsal 🤍,” Andre captioned her post, showing moments leading up to the highly anticipated event. “I’m overjoyed to have helped my dear friend of over a decade, Alana, celebrate her love story this weekend @lanzybear.”
At the start of the clip, Bella, 29, was advised to keep her hands slightly lower when holding her bouquet. “Oh, you’re so beautiful!” Andre said in agreement as the model correctly applied her suggestion and began practicing with a few steps forward. “You’re such a good bridesmaid.”
“Thank you so much, I’ve been working for this moment my whole life,” Bella said with a smile as Andre kindly responded by telling her, “It’s your time to shine.”
Gigi, 30, then got her lesson, with Andre giving her the seal of approval by saying: “No notes.”
Moments later, blushing bride-to-be Alana, 42, was seen walking slowly towards her father. Mohammed Hadidbefore handing her bouquet to Bella.
“My lord,” Bella joked as she made the motion to grab her flowers on the big day. (Gigi and Bella together with brother Anwar are the children of Mohammed and Yolanda Hadidwhile Alana is one of his two daughters from his first marriage to Mary Butler. Alana’s sister does Marielle Hadid. Mohamed also shares daughter Aydan Nix of Terri Hatfield boring.)
Gigi and Bella were ready to rock the wedding, as the duo had walked the 2025 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show just days earlier on October 15.
For the rehearsal, Alana stunned in a beaded Clio Peppiatt dress and later a Sandra Mansour two-piece set.
“I definitely did a lot of looks,” Alana said British Voguenoting that she had “waited a long time to get married!”
Bella and Gigi served as bridesmaids – barefoot – for the special occasion, while Alana said ‘I do’ to her now producer husband Ross Williamsduring the romantic ceremony held at Mohamed’s Los Angeles home on Saturday, October 18.
Alana looked elegant in a vintage Vivienne Westwood dress for the ceremony, opting for jewelry from Dorsey and a custom diamond and gold band from Sofia Kaman. The Watermelon Pictures creative director also wore something with sentimental value: her mother Mary’s amethyst earrings.

“[When] I tried it on, I knew it was mine straight away,” she remembers of her dress. “I think it was a size 16 or something like that, which was actually so perfect because there was no draping or ruffles on it – just fantastic sleeves. Because it was bigger, my tailor could do all the adjustments and make it my own.”
Alana let her bridal party, including Gigi, Bella and half-sister Marielle, choose what they wanted to wear, but they all stuck to the same green color theme, and also rocked Dorsey jewelry.
The couple’s ceremony was officiated by one of Alana and Williams’ best friends, which made the memory even more special and brought them all closer together.
“It was really about us expressing each other and what it meant to become a family,” Alana shared. “It was very personal; we wrote our own vows and said something for Ross’ daughter, now my stepdaughter.”
