Bella Hadid is one of those people who wear trends all the time, but if she told me she didn’t even know the trend she was wearing was a trend, I’d fully believe her. That’s how effortlessly she wears them. And the latest trend she effortlessly wore is as fresh as it gets.

On a recent night out in West Hollywood, Hadid opted to wear crisp dark-denim bootcut jeans and black leather pumps. It was an elegant combination indeed, but the brand-new trend she paired them with made them cool: a big-buckle belt. The Western-inspired trend has been finding newfound fame (not that it's a new style, per se) thanks to the recent runways of Celine, Ralph Lauren, and Dior, to name a few. It's quickly becoming an It-girl wardrobe staple, and Hadid is as good an example of this as there is. The rest of the top of her outfit included a red ruched halter top and a cognac suede jacket and as a whole was the ultimate L.A.-girl outfit for a night out—a bit polished and a bit edgy and cool.

Keep scrolling to see the cool-girl night look for yourself and to shop big-buckle belts to wear with jeans and heels and everything else.
