Top 5 Bella Hadid Fashion Moments

When Bella Hadid attended the Cannes Film Festival in 2016, she went for a bold and daring look that put her on every fashion watchlist. For the Unknown Girl movie premiere, she donned a dramatic crimson gown designed by Alexandre Vauthier, and it was a pretty serious contrast to the more dark and subdued looks she typically favors. The gown featured a deep neckline as well as a nearly waist high slit, making observers wonder what she could have possibly been wearing underneath. According to Hadid, she pulled the look off by donning a very high cut leotard to avoid a serious wardrobe malfunction.

You probably recognize Hadid from Dior’s beauty ads, but the model is loyal to their clothes as well. As the face of the brand, Bella turned it out in a sheer polka dotted gown, which was one of the first designed by Maria Grazia Chiuri for the classic house. The 2016 New York party was celebrating Peter Philips’ new book “The Art of Color”. Not one to shy away from edgy trends, Hadid wore the dress down the runway just as it came - with underwear fully exposed. Naturally… the boxer-briefs were Christian Dior as well.

Bella and then-boyfriend, The Weeknd, were the couple to watch at the "Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology" gala in 2016. The pair matched in all black outfits, with Bella’s strapless Givenchy gown standing out even among the fashion elite. The dress’ dramatic voluminous train opened to reveal thigh high stockings, which gave the look a surprisingly fun and playful vibe. She kept her hair and makeup simple and opted for minimal jewelry to let the dress shine on its own - and it worked.

Bella really brought her A game to Cannes in 2016 with not one, but two show stopping outfits. In addition to the aforementioned crimson gown, the model wore an embellished cut out dress by Roberto Cavalli to the premiere of “Café Society”, which took place at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. Her De Grisogono choker matched so seamlessly that it almost appeared as if it were a part of the gown. With her hair pulled back into her signature sleek ponytail, and showing off some masterful contouring and highlighting, she truly looked like a glowing goddess.

The younger Hadid sister is known for her modern edgy looks, but for this 2016 red carpet event, she chose something a little softer and more romantic. Bella was honored with the award for model of the year from British GQ and definitely showed up looking the part. The dress was designed by Jason Wu for Hugo Boss and featured the thigh high slit that the model is becoming known for, as well as an off the shoulder construction. We may never know what she’ll be wearing next, but you can bet we’ll be seeing a whole lot more of this fashion darling in years to come.
