Bella Hadid has criticized Dolce & Gabbana, saying the fashion house is long overdue for canceling.

Her comments followed the brand’s presentation of its fall/winter 2026-2027 menswear collection on Jan. 17 at the Milan Fashion Week, where only white models appeared on the runway.

Hadid accused the designers of bias in their casting choices. Writing in the comments section of a fashion blogger’s post, the supermodel said she was shocked the brand continues to receive support from celebrities and industry leaders.
