The 2026 Cannes Film Festival couldn't end until a VIP debuted a crocheted little white dress somewhere along the Croisette. The adorable, but rarely risqué summer staple walked the red carpet on May 20, thanks to Bella Hadid. In true Hadid form, her custom Schiaparelli gown gave the once-bikini cover-up a proper, nearly-naked makeover.
Hadid's third ascent up the Cannes 2026 staircase might just be her most on-brand. Stylist Mimi Cuttrell did her big one, sourcing Schiaparelli creative director Daniel Roseberry for an ivory gown that required 22,160 hours of embroidery work. Guests inside the Hôtel Martinez stopped dead in their tracks—and rightfully so.
