Bella Hadid’s return to the Cannes Film Festival on its first day was every bit as impressive, strutting her stuff on the red carpet for Partir Un Jour (Leave One Day) screening confidently. The 28-year-old style icon once again demonstrated why she’s so popular on the red carpet, wowing all with her sassy and stylish look.
Breaking Boundaries with Style
Bella stunned in a bespoke black Saint Laurent gown that radiated sensually sleek sophistication. The tight, figure-concealing silhouette boasted showstopping side cutouts, a cut-out asymmetrical open back, and a provocative thigh-high slit. Despite Cannes’ new dress code prohibiting sheer materials, over-the-top trains, and loose silhouettes, Bella made these restrictions a work of art, defying the rules while still making a bold impression.

Minimal Accessories, Maximum Impact
Her accessory selection was elegant yet attention-grabbing. Emerald Chopard drop earrings glimmered with each step, complemented by a heart-shaped diamond ring for classic charm. To finish her ensemble, she slipped on rhinestone-encrusted Saint Laurent heels that provided a discreet shimmer.

A Fresh Beauty Transformation
Bella unveiled a new honey blonde hair color, a dramatic change from her signature brunette locks. Her soft waves brought warmth and a fresh feel, complementing the drama of her black dress. Her makeup was stunning, with a radiant base complemented by smoky black eyes and nude lips that accentuated her natural beauty.

A Confident Fashion Statement
Fashion pundits and fans were equally impressed with Bella’s look for its bold originality. While others went safe, she made the prohibitive dress code a canvas for imagination. The outcome? A look that borrowed old Hollywood sophistication with a contemporary, seductive spin—some even likened it to an Angelina Jolie moment, but with Bella’s personal stamp.
Bella Hadid’s Cannes 2025 look was, unequivocally, a fashion coup.
