BELLA Magazine's 2025 Fashion Issue featuring Annabelle Hedges
She stepped into this moment with grace, presence, and unmistakable authenticity.
Annabelle Hedges embodies the future of fashion. Genuine. Unfiltered. Continually evolving and striving.
In an industry where artificial intelligence is creating faces, mimicking poses, and replacing countless creative roles, her cover serves as a powerful reminder: realness matters, presence matters, soul matters. And #AICantDoThis.
This issue isn’t merely a celebration—it’s a declaration. We’re not just highlighting the next generation; we’re standing up for it.
Annabelle’s generation is growing up in a world where perfection is simulated, speed is prioritized, and authenticity is often overlooked. Yet she represents what fashion has always been at its core: human.
Captured with honesty and artistry by the iconic Nigel Barker, Annabelle’s cover features no heavy retouching, filters, or fabrication. It reveals what AI will never replicate—emotion, softness, and resilience.
She is more than our cover star. She is our why.
