She is now flying the Hadid flag solo in China after her sister was forced to pull out.
And Bella was hard at work at the gym on Friday in preparation for Sunday’s Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.
She certainly wasn’t alone in her last minute prep – models from Lily Aldridge to Karlie Kloss flocked to Shaghai for the underwear show.
Bella, 21, shared several snaps of her workout while her model peers filed into the city ahead of the illustrious gig.

Not among them however was her big sister Gigi, who mysteriously pulled out just hours earlier.
While the 22-year-old didn’t give a reason, some have speculated she was denied a visa because of a supposedly racist video she made back in February, ‘mocking’ Buddha by jokingly pulling a face.
Bella meanwhile was already in Shanghai and toning up for Monday’s catwalk appearance.
It wasn’t all work though, as she fooled around with her trainer Joe Holder.

Bella was actually the one who posted the video that allegedly got her sister in trouble; it was during a birthday party in February that Gigi was served a cute Buddha face cookie and imitated it by squinting her eyes, thus sparking a torrent of keyboard rage from those who somehow equated this to hating Chinese people.
‘I’m so bummed I won’t be able to make it to China this year,’ Gigi tweeted on Thursday.
‘Love my VS family, and will be with all my girls in spirit!! Can’t wait to tune in with everyone to see the beautiful show I know it will be, and already can’t wait for next year!’
