Bella Hadid cut a glamorous figure as she showed up in New York City this week – following her viral cameo at Yellowstone.
The 28-year-old had a small role in the December 1 episode of the show, which has now emerged as having the highest viewership of Season 5B to date.
Fresh off her ratings high, Bella was spotted in Manhattan on Wednesday wearing stylish black from head to toe.
In a continued touch of cowgirl chic, she wore double leathers, including shiny pants and a pair of boots.
She hinted at her enviably toned midriff in a fabric crop top, as she wrapped herself in a long fabric coat that accentuated her slim figure.
Gigi Hadid’s sister swept her dark hair back into an intricate updo and teamed the look with a black leather handbag with snakeskin stitching.

Bella’s Yellowstone episode Counting Coup drew a total of 12.1 million viewers on Paramount Network and CMT, the Hollywood reporter unveiled this week.
Despite the absence of the show’s former lead Kevin Costner, who left the show amid a feud with creator Taylor Sheridan, season 5B has put up respectable numbers.
In the December 1 episode, Taylor, 54, could be seen as rugged horse trader Travis Wheatley, while Bella played his girlfriend Sadie.
Bella’s real-life boyfriend Adan Banuelos, a real-life cowboy who at age 28 became the youngest ever inductee into the NCHA Riders Hall of Fame, also had a cameo.
The casting decisions were met with raised eyebrows on X, formerly Twitter, where observers were quick to mock Taylor for the move.
“First time in this episode, Taylor Sheridan writes himself a scene where his character is a super cool guy who wins at strip poker against hot ladies, that felt over the top,” wrote one. “The second it happens, you have to wonder if he’s okay.”
“Taylor Sheridan making Bella Hadid his girlfriend in ‘Yellowstone’ is objectively hilarious,” another penultimate episode of my flagship show. but casting Bella Hadid as your girlfriend? lol’.
“Last night’s episode of #Yellowstone really showed the extent of Taylor Sheridan’s ego,” chimed another viewer on social media.

The 28-year-old supermodel had a small role in the December 1 episode of the show, which has now emerged as having the highest viewership of season 5B.
“The whole show last night was a joke. Worse episode in Yellowstone history. Taylor Sheridan made the episode all about him. Very disappointing,” one person wrote.
“As if Taylor Sheridan wasted one of the last episodes of this show by inserting himself so he could parade around half-naked women. We could have had eight more episodes of Kevin Costner instead of this bs,” complained another.
Bella was first linked to Adan when they were spotted kissing in Forth Worth, Texas, and she has since reportedly bought her own house there.
In September this year, an insider claimed that Bella and Adan’s “relationship is definitely one that they both see going to the extremes,” via We weekly.
Noting that “horses are one of Bella’s greatest loves,” the insider said, “She loves supporting Adan at his rodeos and couldn’t be more proud to be by his side.”
Another source claimed that “Bella is loving her new low-key lifestyle and feels secure in her and Adan’s relationship,” adding that her family is “completely approving” of the romance.
