Audrey Hepburn might seem an unlikely muse for fashion’s Favourite Y2K revivalist, but Bella Hadid is anything but predictable, as her recent Cannes outing proved. Eschewing last year’s naked dress trend (and adhering to *this* year’s “no nudity” dress code), Hadid cosplayed as an It Girl of yore: Holly Golightly.
More than six decades since Breakfast at Tiffany’s, the image of Hepburn in a black Givenchy gown, oversized sunglasses, and a dazzling frosting of diamonds remains one of fashion’s most indelible moments. Other stars echoing Hepburn’s lovable party girl might’ve teetered into caricature territory, but Hadid, with her newly honeyed hair and waifish frame, make for a fitting homage.
