Hadid also shared several photos and videos documenting her Sin City trip with friends on her Instagram Story over the weekend.
In one clip, she used a feathered fan while rocking a sexy red dress. In another picture, she posed next to a slot machine while wearing a backless black ensemble.
She also posted a photo of a box of playing cards and a can of Kin Euphorics, the nonalcoholic beverage brand she co-founded in 2021.
Hadid revealed in January 2022 that she stopped drinking alcohol for six months after feeling like she couldn’t control herself.
“I have done my fair share of drinking. I loved alcohol, and it got to the point where even I started to, you know, cancel nights out that I felt like I wouldn’t be able to control myself,” she told InStyle at the time.
Hadid expressed wanting to remain sober for the foreseeable future because she found that avoiding alcohol was better for her mental health.
“I don’t feel the need [to drink anymore] because I know how it will affect me at 3 in the morning when I wake up with horrible anxiety thinking about that one thing I said five years ago when I graduated high school,” she said.
“There’s just this never-ending effect of, essentially, you know, pain and stress over those few drinks that didn’t really do much, you know?”
Hadid also quit drinking for her physical health, explaining that a doctor showed her scans that revealed the negative effects booze can have on the brain.
Last year, the fashionista spoke about dealing with “excruciating” and “debilitating” mental health struggles to the point where she had anxiety about getting dressed in the morning.
“In the last year, it was really important for me to learn that even if people talk about my style or if they like it or if they don’t, it doesn’t matter, because it’s my style,” she told WSJ. Magazine in January 2022.
“When I leave the house in the morning, what I think about is: Does this make me happy? Do I feel good in this and do I feel comfortable?”
Hadid has struggled with anxiety and depression since her younger years.
“My social anxiety was something that slowly crept up on me as I grew into my twenties,” she wrote on Instagram in September 2021. “It got harder for me to go out without having one drink to calm my nerves, which made me not want to go out at all, so I was just hibernating between jobs.”
Two months later, the catwalker shared photos of herself crying on Instagram to show her followers what her depressive episodes can look like, but noted that “it does get better.”
