To celebrate the premiere of the new TV series, The Beauty—which debuted yesterday, Jan. 21, on FX and Hulu—Bella Hadid debuted a plethora of candid frames herself from her time on the set.

The 29-year-old model, who stars as Ruby in the action-packed series, posted an 18-slide Instagram carousel of behind the scenes snaps while filming the project. In her caption, she declared that the series was released on the streaming app while thanking some of its crew, including the show’s creator Ryan Murphy.

In its first image, Hadid playfully posed on a motorcycle in an all-leather, cherry red ensemble. Her dark hair was slicked back as she showcased a smoky makeup look, which was on full display in the post’s fourth slide. Hadid also gave a closer look at how she gets into character, including the detailed prosthetics that she sported on her arms and legs.

Hadid’s massive following on the app—60.1 million to be exact—gushed over her on-screen stint. “You are just so unreal,” one fan commented. Another agreed and wrote, “Left no crumbs 👏🏼👏🏼.”

Her mother, Yolanda Hadid, also chimed in to show her daughter some love, penning, “❤️proud mama.” Mohamed Hadid, the model’s father, separately added, “You were amazing. So proud of you my love.” while tagging Bella at the end of the note.

While Hadid’s character Ruby is “an international supermodel at the height of her fame and success,” according to FX, don’t be fooled—Hadid told The Hollywood Reporter that her illustrious career in the industry didn’t make playing the character a walk in the park. In fact, she told the publication that her time shooting the series “was the complete opposite of anything [she has] ever done.”

Yet the opportunity to embark on a new endeavor made it all the more rewarding. On the red carpet for the series premiere in New York City on Jan. 14, she delved into how the experience allowed her to push the envelope with Entertainment Tonight.

“When I spoke to Ryan [Murphy] in the beginning, it was very much about being able to go out of my comfort zone,” she told the outlet. The model later added, “He pushed me to be a different version of myself, which I’ve always wanted to do.”

You can watch the first three episodes of FX and Hulu’s The Beauty here, with its fourth episode coming to Hulu later this month.
