Bella Hadid continues to reign as the Queen of Cannes, stealing the show at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival opening ceremony. The model made a bold statement by defying the new “no naked dress” rule with a sleek black cowlneck dress that featured a hip-high slit, exposed sides, and a strappy asymmetrical back. Accessorizing with gargantuan emerald earrings, a diamond ring, and rhinestone-encrusted heels, Hadid exuded glamour and sophistication on the Croisette.
Her arrival at the Hôtel Martinez the day before the festival showcased her fashion prowess once again. Sporting a honey-blonde updo, a summery white corset top, flare pants, and vintage raffia-and-leather Saint Laurent heart heels, Hadid proved that she is a style icon both on and off the red carpet.
Known for her daring fashion choices, Hadid’s past Cannes looks have captivated audiences and set trends. From her multiple vintage Versace ensembles in a single day to the sheer hosiery dress from Saint Laurent that pushed the boundaries of naked dressing, Hadid’s presence at Cannes has been nothing short of legendary. In fact, her influence is so powerful that the festival updated its dress code to explicitly prohibit nudity on the red carpet and throughout the event, a rule that many believe was inspired by Hadid’s past attire.
As the festival unfolds, all eyes will be on Bella Hadid as she continues to showcase her impeccable style and undeniable presence on the Cannes red carpet. With each appearance, she solidifies her status as a fashion icon and cements her place as the reigning Queen of Cannes.
