Yolanda Hadid replaced her well-known glass-front refrigerator with a matte-black, industrial-style fridge that still features a glass front [1, 2].

The change marks a shift in the aesthetic of the former model's Beverly Hills kitchen. Because Hadid is known for her meticulous home design and public image, the update to her primary living space reflects evolving trends in luxury interior design.

Hadid sought a specific balance between modern utility and visibility for her kitchen remodel in early 2025 [1, 2]. The new appliance maintains the transparency of her previous refrigerator but introduces a darker, more utilitarian frame.

"I wanted something completely different – an industrial look but still with a glass front," Hadid said [1].

The redesign was first highlighted in a Jan. 13, 2025, report and a corresponding video from Architectural Digest [1, 2]. The update replaces a look that had become a recognizable feature of her home's interior.

According to the TMZ editorial team, the matte-black finish gives the kitchen a sleek, modern vibe while the glass door keeps the iconic look [2]. The choice of materials suggests a preference for the industrial aesthetic, a style often characterized by raw materials and minimalist finishes, without sacrificing the ability to see the contents of the appliance.

This modification was part of a broader effort to reinvent the space. By blending the industrial matte finish with the existing glass-front concept, Hadid updated the room's atmosphere while retaining the functional transparency she previously favored [1, 2].

"I wanted something completely different – an industrial look but still with a glass front."

The transition from a standard glass-front refrigerator to an industrial matte-black version reflects a broader shift in high-end residential design toward 'industrial luxury.' By combining the visibility of a commercial-style fridge with a moody, matte palette, Hadid is aligning her home with contemporary trends that prioritize a professional, chef-grade aesthetic over traditional luxury finishes.
