As the Cannes Film Festival concludes its dazzling annual run, one figure has once again solidified her reign over sartorial spectacle: Bella Hadid. This year’s Croisette appearances, marked by unforgettable looks from a gilded Schiaparelli to a captivating keffiyeh-inspired gown, arguably represent her most impactful yet.
Post-Festival Chic in Saint-Tropez
Transitioning from the red carpet’s intensity, Hadid has embraced the relaxed glamour of the South of France. Spotted in Saint-Tropez alongside her brother, Anwar Hadid, she showcased a sophisticated take on summer goth. Bella donned a near-sheer, black V-neck maxi dress from Massimo Dutti, complemented by simple black thong sandals and an abundance of gold jewelry. Her adornments included a Chelsea Girl purple-stoned ring, a Chanel Gripoix cross pendant, a Shay Pave diamond pinky ring, delicate gold chain necklaces, an ear cuff, Pandora Jewelry and Brilliant Earth bangles, and classic oval sunglasses. A woven Massimo Dutti croissant bag completed her ensemble, her hair slicked back into a side-parted bun.
Anwar mirrored her understatedly cool aesthetic, opting for a black scoopneck vest, extended cargo shorts—a trend already noted for its resurgence—a distressed gray cap, and black sneakers. Their synchronized style underscored a shared appreciation for contemporary, effortless dressing.
A Masterclass in Off-Duty Style
This shift in aesthetic signals a graceful departure from the high-drama ensembles Hadid and stylist Mimi Cuttrell curated for Cannes. Over her decade-long relationship with the festival, Hadid has consistently delivered, showcasing a blend of archival treasures—from a striking Marc Jacobs zip-up dress from Spring 2003 to scintillating Elie Saab creations—alongside custom haute couture and runway pieces, including a boundary-pushing Schiaparelli gown and ethereal Prada.
Her vacation wardrobe also features a striking orange and black swirled Pucci one-piece from the house’s L’Alba collection and a re-imagined Prada Spring 2001 skirt, originally worn by Gisele Bündchen on the runway, now styled as a chic tube dress. This carefully curated selection solidifies Hadid’s position as a style icon, drawing comparisons to Dua Lipa’s own mastery of vacation dressing.
Business Style Takeaway: Bella Hadid’s effortless transition from red carpet extravagance to chic, minimalist off-duty style demonstrates the power of versatile, high-quality pieces. This approach, blending statement accessories with foundational garments, offers a refined yet relaxed template for modern professionals seeking to elevate their personal brand beyond traditional corporate attire.
