Yesterday, Bella Hadid celebrated turning the big 2-1 in New York City after receiving endless loving Instagram posts from the likes of older sister Gigi, BFF Kendall Jenner and mother, Yolanda and, yes,us too.
The face of Dior Beauty kicked off her day by posting several pictures of herself and her friends to Instagram, using her own specially-designed '21' filter, which showed an animated version of the Fendi model wearing the exact same white lace-up dress she sported on her big day.
Getting ready for brunch with her pals that morning, Bella shared a video of herself in good spirits, pinning up her hair while lip-syncing to singer Ashley Simpson's 2004 hit, La La.
Having dined out with her best friends - who the star nicknamed 'ketchup and mustard' as a result of their brightly-hued outfits - the 21-year-old also shared a rather racy picture of herself wearing a black thong.
Later that night, the New York-based model went to a celebratory dinner with her sister Gigi, mother Yolanda and father Mohamed.
Stepping out of Bella's New York City apartment, Gigi was spotted wearing a baby-blue Pamella Roland corset with a set of high-waist slacks. Meanwhile, the birthday girl wore a black satin evening dress.
The pair later posted several videos to Instagram from the family occasion in which Bella can be seen cosying up to her parents.
Earlier in the day, Gigi posted an adorable series of snaps to her Instagram account of her and Bella as children.
She captioned the post: 'HAPPY 21st BIRTHDAY MY ANGELIC SISTER @BELLAHADID !!! There are no words for how much I love you.
