Much ado has been made over Bella Hadid's response to the 2025 Cannes Film Festival dress code on the official red carpet. After an updated "decency" rule banning nudity appeared to prohibit her beloved Saint Laurent naked dresses, she showed up for the opening ceremony absolutely unbothered on May 13 in a custom cut-out dress by the same house. That look deserved its spot on the Cannes best-dressed list, but I'd like to turn everyone's attention to Hadid's after-hours method-dressing for the French Riviera.
Bella Hadid was a walking billboard for French girl fashion codes leaving her hotel later in the evening. She'd changed out of her Saint Laurent gown and into an outfit nearly copy and pasted from Jacquemus's Spring 2025 runway—the same collection supplying Halle Berry with her debut Cannes look.
