BELLA Magazine launches its first-ever Broadway Issue with a spotlight on the revolutionary hit &Juliet. Featuring cover star Gianna Harris and the dynamic cast, this issue celebrates the show that broke the rules, reimagined a classic, and proved why Broadway’s power lies in rewriting the script.

This September, BELLA Magazine invites you to celebrate New York Fashion Week in unforgettable style with our Fall Fashion Issue Cover Party: Fashion Feast at The Ellington on Broadway.

Annabelle Hedges represents the future of fashion. She’s real. Raw. Still learning, still reaching.

In an industry where artificial intelligence is generating faces, cloning poses, and erasing entire creative jobs, her cover stands as a reminder: realness matters, presence matters, soul matters. And #AICantDoThis.

This issue isn’t just a celebration—it’s a statement. We’re not only spotlighting the next generation; we’re fighting for it.

Annabelle’s generation is coming of age in a world where perfection is simulated, speed is rewarded, and authenticity feels optional. Yet she embodies what fashion has always been at its core: human.

The 2025 Fashion Issue of BELLA Magazine is a declaration.

For too long, women have been handed timelines for success, told their dreams had an expiration date, and dismissed as “too much” when they dared to claim their place. Now, we face yet another challenge: competing with perfectly generated AI versions of ourselves.

It’s that time, BELLA Beauty Awards time, and our team is ready!
