Coachella may be the big event on all of the Hollywood cool kids’ instagram feeds right now, but not on Bella Hadid’s, she had other things on her mind this past weekend when she leapt out of a plane in Dubai.

According to The Daily Mail model-of-the moment Hadid, who has been in the emirate representing luxury fashion brand Dior, threw herself out of a plane early Saturday morning.

“Jumped out of a plane today!!!” the 20-year-old younger sister of Gigi posted on her Instagram, alongside photos and video of the experience.

“I’ve never felt so calm in my life. Flying with the angels!!!!!”

While all of her mates are celebrating the annual music festival in Los Angeles, it's not much of a surprise Hadid chose to extend her stay in the UAE and clock up an experience of her own. The Daily Mail reports her ex-boyfriend The Weeknd is playing a 'surprise' slot at the California festival.

Hadid arrived in Dubai last week, where she attended the launch of Dior's The Art of Colour exhibition at Dubai Mall on Wednesday. It's not known how long she plans on staying in the emirate.
