Now operating without the help of a stylist, she tends toward pieces that make her “comfortable” and “happy,” she told WSJ. Magazine in 2022. “In the last year,” she explained, “it was really important for me to learn that even if people talk about my style or if they like it or if they don’t, it doesn’t matter, because it’s my style.”

“I think that this was the start of the Bella persona that everyone sees of me,” explained the star. “That’s my alter ego, that’s Belinda. I’m just so the opposite of her. She’s very va-va-voom. You know, bless her, love her, she was very nervous.”
