Bella Hadid's Most Unforgettable Cannes Looks from 2016 to 2026

Bella Hadid has become a defining presence at the Cannes Film Festival, often overshadowing the actors and filmmakers the event officially honors. Since 2016, she has delivered a series of iconic red carpet moments, wearing designs from Alexandre Vauthier, Roberto Cavalli, Dior, Jean Paul Gaultier, Schiaparelli, Gucci, Chanel, Versace, Saint Laurent, and more. In 2024, she arrived in an almost nude Saint Laurent gown, later appeared in vintage Gianni Versace, and licked ice cream on Plage du Midi in a keffiyeh-patchworked Hushidar Mortezaie dress. That same year, festival organizers issued a surprise dress code amendment prohibiting nudity and voluminous outfits, yet Hadid wore a slit-up-to-there silk-satin gown. In 2025, she attended the Partir Un Jour premiere in Saint Laurent. Now at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, she arrived in a 1999 Prada Sport set, asserting her dominance. The article includes a gallery of 28 of her most memorable appearances from 2016 to 2026.
