Bella Hadid's key to becoming a successful model is just "being yourself".

"And it sounds so cliché, but you see girls backstage sometimes that finally, now, after three years of being in the business, can be themselves and show who they really are, and it's the best part about them. Sometimes people try to get put into a box, and there are no boxes here."

The brunette beauty believes there's room in the fashion industry for everyone to succeed, and that as long as you are kind and passionate about modelling it doesn't matter "if your walk is a little wobbly." 

She said: "It's about the relationships you make, about the kindness that you spread, and obviously working really hard. You have to have a great mindset to be in this business.

"If anybody wants to try modelling, and if that's their passion than do it 100%. There's room for everybody in the business to succeed and I think that people try to pick and choose, but there's enough room for everybody if you work hard enough, for sure."
