Bella Hadid is listening to her sister, Gigi Hadid, and using her money to take a stand in defense of Ukraine.The supermodel took to Instagram on Wednesday to share a message against Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and announce that she would be using the money she earns during Fashion Week to support causes dedicated to helping the besieged nation.«To watch my Ukrainian friends and colleagues working hard here in Europe, so close but so far from their families/friends/homes in Ukraine who are experiencing one of many brutal occupations and invasions happening right now in the world is a very emotional and humbling experience for me,» Bella wrote. «We rarely have control of our work schedules and this week has really shown me the strength and perseverance of the people around me who are going through pure terror.»Bella continued, «To hear their stories and emotions first hand is devastating and I wholeheartedly stand with them in support.

Russian military forces invaded the country under orders given by Russian President Vladimir Putin. In the early days, the world watched as the people of Ukraine lived with sirens and explosions, as the neighboring country's forces dissipated buildings around them.  In the weeks since the initial attack, almost two million people have packed up their lives, children, pets and anything they can to flee the now war-torn country.

As soon as Russian forces, under the order of Russian President Vladimir Putin, began the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, stars and celebrities started their efforts to support the Ukrainian people under attack. A-listers like Ryan Reynolds, Mila Kunis, Dua Lipa, and more shared links to where fans could donate to the humanitarian efforts while pledging their own money to the cause.

Over the past few weeks, we’ve watched designers such as Balenciaga, Dior and Gucci display their latest collections on runways around the world. And while Fashion Weeks are usually all about who is on the FROW, champagne-fuelled parties and which designer pulls off the most outrageous looks, this year's shows have sometimes been a more sombre affair.

Showing support. Gigi Hadid followed in the footsteps of fellow model Mica Arganãraz and made the decision to donate the entirety of her fall 2022 fashion show earnings to those suffering in Ukraine.
