A Look Back At Bella Hadid\u2019s Very Best Cannes Film Festival Looks<\/h1>\n

Celebrating a decade\u2019s worth of fashion magic from the Queen of Cannes.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

There are some things that just make sense: Kacey Musgraves and country musi<\/a>c, Charli xcx and piles of cigarettes<\/a>, and Bella Hadid<\/a> and Cannes<\/a>. The supermodel, essential-oil-fragrance CEO<\/a>, and face of a generation attended her very first Cannes Film Festival a decade ago, quickly becoming a favorite on the legendary red-carpet staircase outside the esteemed film festival. The South of France has become Hadid\u2019s playground since then, attending almost every year and showing out on the biggest stage for designers and actors alike. Ahead of the 2026 edition of the festival which Hadid will naturally be the focus of, we\u2019ve rounded up our favorite looks of hers from the last decade. <\/p>\n

From her very first year, Hadid showed she was willing to take sartorial risks and catch eyes. That now-famous red dress from 2016 with a slit up to you-know-where made headlines; from there, she continued her relationship-building with luxury houses like Dior<\/a>, Bvlgari<\/a>, and Chopard. In 2021, she rewrote the rules and wore a Schiaparelli<\/a> \u201clung\u201d dress that similarly drew lots of noise. She started dipping into designer archives<\/a>, wearing vintage Gianni Versace, Chanel<\/a>, and Jean Paul Gaultier, reimagining what it means to show up at the largest film festival in the world. Throughout it all, her ineffable joie de vivre, singular beauty, and commitment to being a fierce advocate for Palestine make her presence on Cannes\u2019 croisette<\/em> essential. See what looks both off and on the red carpet have a permanent place in our minds below.<\/p>\n

Baby Bella (who was 19 years old here) made her Cannes debut in this Roberto Cavalli gold dress with a daring neckline and classic supermodel-girl glam; it was a safe option for her first-ever time on the staircase. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

You definitely remember this making the rounds on the Internet when it first dropped. Right after making her debut, she proved she would be a style star to watch in this Alexandre Vauthier dress that relied on pure faith, lots of double-sided tape, and her generational figure. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This Dior quilted dress with itty-bitty straps is pretty demure for Hadid, but the healthy dose of Bvlgari on her neck and wrist make this red-carpet ready.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The wrap-around sandals were all the rage during this fashion era, and her fun-loving party look with a handkerchief top and, of course, leg slit were ideal for a late-night moment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Full glam, supermodel-ready dress, and those heels again. This is classic 2010s glam, and few people besides Hadid could make it look so effortless.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This was the first time Hadid dipped into the archives for a red-carpet moment; this Elie Saab is from 20017, and brings back her side-boob affair with class.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

This is my personal favorite of hers and marked a new fashion era for Hadid. This Jean Paul Gaultier<\/a> gown is a custom rework of a style from Spring\/Summer 2002 originally worn by Naomi Campbell, and delivers on the sex appeal Hadid is known for while still looking unbelievably elegant. Everything is dialed in here (hair, makeup, jewelry) and this was a turnaround year for her. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

2022 marked a new relationship for Hadid with superstar stylist Law Roach. They leaned heavily into the vintage craze for her packed scheduled, starting with this dramatic and gorgeous Gianni Versace Spring 1987 gown. The toned-down styling was smart because what else do you need besides the architecture of this dress and Hadid\u2019s figure?<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

To end her archival race around the film festival, she pulled out the holy grail. This Tom Ford for Gucci<\/a> dress is everything a Cannes dress isn\u2019t, and that\u2019s why it works so well here. It hugs her in all the right places, yet feels casual and effortless. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
