Like countless other viewers, Selena Gomez was in awe of Bella Hadid during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show on Wednesday (Oct. 15).

The model was a vision on the runway in a fiery red lingerie set, complete with a long train. After the show, underneath a video posted to Instagram of Hadid’s flirtatious turn down the catwalk, Gomez commented, “She is [fire emoji].”
If there was still any speculation that the Rare Beauty founder might harbor ill will toward the VS Angel, the sweet praise surely put it to bed. Both women were previously in relationships with The Weeknd, with Gomez dating him while he was on a break from his longterm relationship with Hadid in 2017.
In the years immediately afterward, the two ladies reportedly unfollowed and re-followed one another on Instagram a few times, sparking rumors of bad blood. But in 2023, Gomez posted a TikTok and captioned it, “I wish I was as pretty as Bella Hadid.”
In response, Lady Gaga commented at the time, “You look and are beautiful inside and out. One of my favorite ladies alive!”
Hadid was one of several stunning Angels who walked in the VSFS Wednesday night. The show also featured a number of musical performances courtesy of TWICE, Karol G, Madison Beer and Missy Elliott.
And just like any supposed beef between Gomez and Hadid, the former’s romance with The Weeknd is well in the past. The Only Murders in the Building Star married Benny Blanco in September — something she recently said she has trouble believing.
“Something great happens in my life, [and] I expect something bad to happen,” Gomez said during her Fortune’s Most Powerful Women panel. “I would say that’s my biggest conflict sometimes when wonderful things happen. I got married and then I was sobbing, because I was like, ‘I’m gonna die the next day.’”
