Bella Hadid Defies Cannes No-Nudity Rule with Sheer Schiaparelli and Vintage Looks

other · 2026-05-18

At the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, model Bella Hadid continues to challenge the festival's no-naked-dressing rule, introduced in 2025. For the premiere of L'Âge de Fer, she wore a custom Schiaparelli gown by Daniel Roseberry, featuring trompe l'oeil lace made from cords and anchor thread, with a plunging neckline and a black beaded embellishment resembling a sea urchin. Earlier in the week, she wore a sheer, sequined vintage top from Australian reseller Preluvd, paired with a nude bra, camel trousers, and accessories from Coach, Gucci, and Jimmy Choo. Hadid previously made headlines at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival in a diaphanous Saint Laurent hosiery dress, and in 2025 she wore a barely-there Saint Laurent dress to the Opening Ceremony. The no-nudity rule remains in place but is not strictly enforced.
