Bella Hadid, runway model extraordinaire and the face of many a fashion campaign, turned the grand old age of 23 this week.

The model was joined by family and friends for the day in New York City, which judging by Instagram looked like she threw the theme way back to the children's birthday party of dreams.

First Bella, mother Yolanda, siblings Gigi and Anwar and friends including Dua Lipa, who is dating Anwar, headed to lunch where the food offering was a build-your-own bagel station, as revealed by Bella's Instagram story.

With the table decorated with party hats, stickers, birthday confetti and multi-coloured balloons, there was a definite arts and crafts children's party vibe to the event - party guests, including Gigi, all wore teeny tiny hats to mark the occasion too. Cute.

After a bagel lunch, the party moved on to the fun, but also totally therapeutic and productive, activity of pottery painting.

For the lunch, birthday girl Bella wore a black PVC-style high-neck belted coat, sunglasses, Missoma gold hoops, long black socks and chunky boots effusing serious Matrix vibes.

Meanwhile, Gigi, Dua and Anwar braved the NYC rain in big puffa coats.

To continue the celebrations for a night out in New York's Soho district, Bella later changed into a high-neck sleeveless mosaic print red and yellow velvet midi dress which she paired with knee high black boots looking like the ultimate birthday party girls.
