The biggest story out of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival best-dressed list is its controversial dress code and the way stars are bending it to their will. The second biggest story out of the Cannes Film Festival red carpet is Bella Hadid's early departure.
The model cut her usual fashion marathon short to celebrate her fragrance brand's U.K. launch in London. However, she didn't let the trip across the English Channel dim her usual vintage red carpet antics. In fact, she chose a May 16 party to follow casual boho studded bags and Nike Air Max sneakers with a veritable piece of Cannes red carpet history—never mind that she wasn't actually wearing it on La Croisette.
