Cannes 2025: Bella Hadid Makes Heads Turn With Cutout Dress, Emeralds And Quiet Rebellion
Model Bella Hadid is back at Cannes and how! She arrived at the French Riviera to walk the red carpet on the very first day of the international film festival.
The 28-year-old made a bold statement at the 78th Cannes Film Festival in 2025, proving again why she remains one of the fashion's most talked-about icons. She made a grand return to the Cannes red carpet for the opening ceremony and the screening of Partir Un Jour (Leave One Day).
She attended the French Film Festival in a custom black gown from Saint Laurent that perfectly matched the vibe of the grand event. The sleek, body-hugging dress featured dramatic cutouts that exposed her sides, an asymmetrical open back, and a daring thigh-high slit - all while cleverly skirting the boundaries of Cannes' new dress code, which discouraged sheer fabrics, oversized silhouettes and long trains. Despite the constraints, Bella brought sensual minimalism and a hint of fashion-forward rebellion to the red carpet.
Hadid kept the accessories to a minimum! She paired the sultry silhouette with a stunning pair of emerald drop earrings from Chopard that shimmered dramatically with every step. The heart-shaped diamond ring added a touch of elegance to the outfit. Her Saint Laurent's rhinestone-studded heels were equally on point!
Bella stunned her fans with her new honey blonde hair - a striking transition from her classic brunette locks. The soft waves cascading on one shoulder brought a fresh contrast to the dark tones of the dress.
And the makeup - pure magic! She went for a clean, dewy look with a black smokey eye and nude lips, allowing her natural charm to take center stage.
The big fashion moment reminded fans of Angelina Jolie-esque vibes but with a touch of Bella's confident, sultry stride. To us, this was a win at the Festival des Cannes 2025. It even got praise from critics and fans alike.
What made Bella's look stand out was her ability to express individuality within the framework of restriction. While many played it safe at the international festival, she used these limitations as a creative mood board, and she knew how to pull off a bold and unconventional look like a pro!

Ishaan Khatter says he ‘fought' with The Royals makers over objectification in the show: ‘I could have worn a shirt in certain scenes'
Ishaan Khatter's dashing looks were widely talked about after he made his Hollywood debut in the Netflix series The Perfect Couple. Following his much-discussed appearance on the show, he starred in The Royals, a romantic comedy-drama where he played the role of an uber-handsome prince. The show featured Ishaan shirtless in several scenes, attracting criticism for gratuitous objectification. However, in a recent interaction, the actor admitted that he had conversations with the makers of the show over his portrayal. Speaking to Mashable India, he said, 'It's that kind of character jo shirt nahi pehenta hai. To be honest, now it will look like… but since I had committed I went for it, but I did fight with them on certain days that 'I can wear shirt in this scene. It doesn't require him to be shirtless.' They had very interesting ways to put this into the script like I can out on a blanket while sleeping… but I had fun doing it.' The Royals also starred Bhumi Pednekar, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea, and Milind Soman. Despite receiving negative reviews, the show became one of Netflix's most-watched shows. Critics called it out for its superficial storyline and lacklustre performances. For his shirtless scenes in The Royals, Ishaan had to build muscle and maintain a toned physique. But for his next project — Neeraj Ghaywan's Homebound — he had to quickly lose all that muscle to look like a regular person. He shared, 'The director told me that I will have to lose all the muscles for Homebound. I was like, 'yeah'. He said you will have to look normal.' Ishaan said that he lost 8 kgs for the film. Neeraj Ghaywan's second feature film Homebound premiered at the recently organised 78th Cannes Film Festival and received a nine-minute standing ovation at the event. The film is co-produced by Karan Johar, with Hollywood legend Martin Scorsese serving as its executive producer.
