Bella Hadid might have started a new trend at the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund Awards in New York City on Monday.

The model posed for photographers at the event while wearing a black bodysuit designed by Alexander Wang. The velvet suit featured a high neckline and long sleeves. Attached to the exterior were strategically placed pearls that looked like nipple and belly-button piercings.

To complete her outfit, Hadid carried a sparkling handbag and wore pointed black boots.

Rather than using an adhesive to attach the pearls to Hadid's outfit, Wang used thin silver rings.

While it's unclear whether Hadid has a belly-button piercing, she's recently stepped out wearing crop tops that reveal her bare stomach.

She does have her nipples pierced. According to Refinery29, the model debuted her piercings in 2015 when she attended Vogue's 95th-anniversary party wearing a sheer top.

Hadid has also made a case for "freeing the nipple" on Instagram. In 2018, she shared two blurry photos of herself standing in front of a mirror and wearing a sheer black shirt that showcased her chest.

Though Instagram has banned content with images of women's nipples, it seemed that Hadid was able to keep her post because of its grainy overlay.

Representatives for Wang did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
