NALU BABE Bella Basque
**Bella Basque: A Model, Designer, and Fearless Dreamer on the Rise**
At just 17 years old, Bella Basque is a rising star in both the modeling and fashion design worlds. Originally from the vast landscapes of Montana, Bella now calls South Florida home, where she continues to build her career while embracing the laid-back beach life. Known for her fearless attitude, creative spirit, and a passion for staying on top of fashion trends, Bella has made a name for herself as a Nalu Babe, a position that allows her to combine her love for swimwear, fashion, and the beach lifestyle.

One of Bella's favorite aspects of working with Nalu Bay Swimwear is the opportunity to stay ahead of the latest trends. "My favorite thing about working with Nalu would be always staying on top of the latest swim fashion trends, attending all of the fun events and fashion shows, making friends, and being able to live my beach life in style!" Bella says. The Nalu Bay Swimwear brand perfectly aligns with her dynamic lifestyle, offering a mix of stylish swimwear and boutique wear that can easily take her from a day at the beach to an evening out with friends. For Bella, being part of the Nalu community isn’t just about fashion; it’s about embracing a lifestyle she loves.

When Bella isn’t modeling or working with Nalu Bay Swimwear, she enjoys an active and multifaceted life. Living in South Florida, she spends a lot of time at the beach, soaking up the sun and staying connected to nature. "I also love shopping, reading, and enjoying Pom dance," she adds. Bella has a rich background in cheerleading, having been a competitive flyer for 10 years. Her love for dance and performance flows naturally into her modeling career. Bella also enjoys line dancing, and despite her Florida life, she proudly holds onto her Montana roots with a little bit of country flair in everything she does. Whether it's camping, boating, or snowboarding, Bella’s diverse interests keep her grounded and connected to her roots.

As a child, Bella had big dreams, and those dreams continue to fuel her ambition today. "As a child, I wanted to be a Dallas Cowboys cheerleader and Taylor Swift. I still want to be both lol," she says with a laugh. Bella’s sense of humor, combined with her determination, has led her to where she is today—on the cusp of bigger and better opportunities. When asked to describe herself in three words, she says, "Strong, funny, and ambitious." These qualities are evident in everything she does, whether it’s walking the runway, designing new pieces, or pursuing her love of fashion and modeling with unwavering determination.
One person who inspires Bella deeply is her role model, Jocelyn Binder. "I was introduced to her when I was 13, working backstage as a design intern for Bikini Beach Australia," Bella shares. Their relationship has grown over the years, transforming into a mentorship that has had a significant impact on Bella’s career. Jocelyn, a breast cancer survivor, is a celebrated swim and lingerie model, entrepreneur, and author. Bella admires Jocelyn not only for her success in the fashion world but also for her kindness and humility. "She is one of the most beautiful models out there, but she’s also incredibly sweet and generous, always checking in with me to see how I’m doing," Bella says. Jocelyn has helped open doors for Bella, providing opportunities to work at Miami Swim Week and West Palm Fashion Week, where Bella has worked both backstage and as a runway model.

Bella’s accomplishments are a testament to her hard work and passion. "One of my biggest accomplishments was graduating high school with honors at 16, and I’ll be graduating from a private Fashion Design school at the end of this year!" she proudly shares. Bella has always been an overachiever, and her dedication to both academics and her creative passions has paid off. At just 14 years old, Bella won the Top Junior Designer Award at Miami Marangoni, where she took summer classes and worked backstage at Miami Swim Week. "Seeing my photos and NYFW walks on billboards in Times Square was really cool," Bella adds. She’s also had the opportunity to interview celebrities from BRAVO/Peacock TV, expanding her reach and making lasting connections in the industry. While she has a major editorial coming soon (which she’s keeping under wraps for now), Bella is confident that even greater accomplishments are on the horizon.
.
Looking ahead, Bella has big plans for her modeling career. "My modeling career started out with cheer brands when I was a competitive cheerleader, and that developed into swim and fashion modeling as I got older," she says. Bella has done a variety of print work and loves the diversity of opportunities modeling offers. Her ultimate goal is to model for *Sports Illustrated*, a dream that aligns perfectly with her love for swimwear and beach culture. But her ambitions don’t stop there—Bella also has a budding interest in promotional modeling, and she’s working on expanding her portfolio to include more beauty campaigns, editorials, and international runway shows. "I’d love to travel overseas for print and runway modeling, and of course, I’d love to wear my own bikini designs one day!" she adds.
.
Outside of her career, Bella is a social media personality who has been sharing her journey since she was 10 years old. "Everybody has watched me grow up, and I think that’s why my followers feel like they know me," she says. Bella’s authenticity and fearless approach to life have garnered her a loyal following. She’s open about the challenges she’s faced, including her fear of driving. "I’ve owned two cars, and I’m still afraid to drive," she admits. While she relies on Uber, Brightline, and even a private driver for now, Bella is working on overcoming this fear as she adjusts to life outside Miami Beach in a slower-paced city near Miami. "I’m a work in progress," she says, but her ability to face challenges head-on is what makes her such an inspiring figure to her followers.
.
Bella’s life advice for younger followers is simple but powerful: "If you know you have a dream and a passion, do not let anybody tell you that you shouldn’t or you can’t do it." Bella has faced her fair share of criticism and online bullying, but she has persevered. "I feel I’m much more prepared for this industry having gone through some of those harder things in my youth," she reflects. Bella’s advice is a reminder to never give up on your dreams, no matter how many obstacles you face. "Follow your heart—it will never lie to you," she concludes, leaving behind a message of resilience, confidence, and unwavering self-belief.
