(Yes, the Cayman Islands is where Bella Hadid’s sister Gigi got busted for marijuana possession earlier this summer, and yes, we’re pretty sure they stayed at the same hotel, because the striped towels are identical. Should I work for the FBI? Probs.)
Bourdette-Donon opened up about her friendship with the model in a 2018 interview, spilling the story of how it started: “I find it super cute that people love our friendship. I was looking for an ambassador for the house; to me, she has the look of the Dior woman—and she was young, smart, and seemed so confident. Because I was living in LA and we had so many friends in common, I just brought it up. I was like, ‘Do you guys know Bella?’ They were like, ‘Oh my God, yes, you guys should meet—you will get along so well!’ We had an event in the South of France, so I reached out to Bella’s agent to invite her—no strings attached—and he replied that she would love to attend. That was literally the first time we met and we became best friends right away.”

She added, “It’s one of those friendships, like, when you have this instant connection and you feel that you were friends in a past life, maybe? I know that might sound completely crazy, but I swear that’s how our friendship feels. I’m very protective of her; she’s kind of like my little sister, in a way. Because I know how pure she is and how she only has good intentions. It’s really rare to meet those kinds of people.” Hey, can I join your next weekend away?
