Where's Bella Hadid? The supermodel was just seen out and about in New York City in a 'fit that reminds us of the iconic seek-and-find book series Where's Waldo? — but make it fashion, obv.

Bella was snapped on October 24 in a casual, comfortable black and navy outfit perfect for a day of fittings, meetings, and everything else supermodels do all day. She wore an oversized, knee-length black sweatshirt dress with arm cutouts over navy tights and tall black boots, but it's her accessories that really make the look, namely the red and white striped kerchief she tied around her face and under her chin.

The final touches to Bella's 'fit included a pair of oval sunglasses and a brown leather satchel bag.

It may not be Waldo's trademark red and white striped shirt, round spectacles, and matching pom-pom beanie cap, but Bella's knitted kerchief is giving serious Waldo energy. Maybe we're just conditioned to think "Waldo" when we see red and white stripes, but the effect remains the same regardless.

Is this a teaser for her upcoming Halloween costume or just a last-minute addition to her outfit to cover up her hair or keep warm on a chilly morning? Probably the latter, but then again, Bella does her own thing and always keeps us guessing — just like Waldo.

Waldocore — if we can call it that — is the latest of the many "-cores" Bella has experimented with. The trendsetting supermodel also tried her hand (or is it foot?) at balletcore in a pair of are-they-or-aren't-they pointe-style shoes. She also rocked TikTok's divisive dadcore sandals and made a Y2K-esque case for wearing two belts... just because. 

Of course, we know the Bella Hadid isn't afraid to think outside the fashion box, especially when it comes to her shoes, sunglasses, and bags, and she always makes us think about accessorizing in a new, fearless way. Is Where's Waldo? chic now?
