About  /  bella padilla

Bella Padilla was born in Santa Marta, Colombia, and raised in the coastal city of Riohacha. With Afro-Colombian and Indigenous heritage on her father's side, she began modeling in late 2024 after overcoming her own self-doubt and quickly launched an international career in Argentina. Since then, she has made history as the first Afro-descendant model to appear on the cover of ELLE Argentina, while also working with brands including Adidas, Atelier Couture, and Marvalas, and appearing in publications such as L'Officiel Argentina, ParaTi, and Vogue China. Outside of modeling, Bella enjoys spending time with her family, staying active through jogging, expressing her creativity through singing, dancing, reading, and writing, and finding inspiration while exploring the beauty of the natural world.
