Bella Hadid was seen joining sister Gigi and her mother Yolanda for dinner in Paris, amid protests happening in the city.
The model, 24, had arrived at César restaurant to join her sister and mum for dinner, who were reportedly being ‘held’ inside, as protesters descended on the streets and police were called in to control the situation.

The awards, dubbed the French Oscars, has been subjected to backlash after Polanski’s film topped this year’s nominations.
Polanski has been accused of raping a 13-year-old girl in the US in 1977. French actress, Adèle Haenel, who worked with Polanski on her first film, recently alleged he also sexually harassed her when she was 12.
The filmmaker is facing multiple accusations of sexual harassment that he has repeatedly denied and Polanski decided not to attend the César Awards, given the protests.
MailOnline has contacted representatives for Bella, Gigi and Yolanda Hadid.
