Bella looked to be gearing up for the fall season as she pounded the pavement in Lower Manhattan. 

Using the city streets as her own personal runway, the supermodel showed off her tanned and toned legs in her stylish sweater dress which featured large camel-colored leather pockets.

And proving she had marked the occasion in suitable style, Bella shared a series of snaps to her Instagram page, where she was pictured donning a slinky black dress that sheathed her svelte frame. 

Racy lattice detailing along the sides of the dress appeared to reveal that the beauty had chosen to forgo her underwear underneath. She was sat on a counter underneath a number of balloons that read Bella. 

Her older sister and fellow supermodel Gigi made sure to pay tribute to Bella on her birthday and treated fans to candid snaps of the girls when they were babies.

Meanwhile, Victoria's Secret model Bella recently received some slack on social media for her vocabulary during a cringe-worthy interview about her favorite sneaker trends and styles with Complex at Kith.

People quickly latched on to her use of the word 'homeboy' so many times in a row - and the clumsy way she paused and seemed to search for the words to finish her sentence in a 'cool' way.

Got kicks? The Victoria's Secret model recently received some slack on social media for her vocabulary during a cringe-worthy interview about her favorite sneaker trends

People quickly latched on to her use of the word 'homeboy' so many times in a row - and the clumsy way she paused and seemed to search for the words to finish her sentence in a 'cool' way. 

One person shared a clip from the video and commented that she talked 'like a undercover cop'. 

The interview started off naturally enough, with Bella talking about a recent Nike campaign and sharing how excited she was to land it. 

Then, though, she used the word 'dope' - three times in the span of just 15 seconds - which several viewers found a bit forced and unnatural. Things got really uncomfortable after the word 'homeboy' found its way into her interview answers.

'You know, I'm cool with it, and I don't mind dirty sneakers, but they better be fresh, you know?' she began. 

'If homeboy's coming through with these,' she said, pointing to a pair on the shelf she doesn't like, 'it's quiet. Yeah, no, it's quiet for him.

'But, like, if comes through in these,' she says, pointing out a pair of Nikes she likes, 'homeboy's gonna, like... get it.'

On Monday, Bella enjoyed a night out for her milestone birthday at a hot New York club, reportedly planned by musician Drake, 30.

'He planned it and paid for everything,' a source told Us Weekly. Bella was joined by 'about 30 people' including Travis Scott and Scooter Braun according to the insider.
