Bella Hadid Takes a Break From Vintage to Debut a Fresh-off-the-Runway Look
Her skinny little belt is the highlight
Reported by Harper's Bazaar.
Bella Hadid has spent most of Cannes 2025 treating the French Riviera like a personal vintage archive — a powder-blue 1999 Prada set, an Alaïa Spring 2003 halter dress, a ruffly naked top sourced from online curator Preluvd's "Euro Summer Edit." Boho, dreamy, thoroughly her. Then she pivoted, hard.
The Runway Lands on the Riviera
According to Harper's Bazaar, Hadid's latest look came straight off the Tom Ford Fall 2026 ready-to-wear runway — a high-neck long-sleeve blouse and slouchy suit trousers, both in deep, inky black. The sleeves were folded back at the wrists with quiet precision, and a super-skinny leather belt fastened directly at the hip — on skin, not fabric. That detail alone is worth studying. A belt as punctuation, not utility.
She ran the rest of the look clean: pointy leather heels, oval shield sunglasses, the whole thing monochrome from collar to toe. Jewelry kept it from tipping into severity — diamond studs, a gleaming bracelet, a silver key pendant. A glossy brown manicure and a slicked-back side-parted bun closed it out. Classic glam, no noise.
The whiplash between her vintage pulls and this fresh-off-the-runway moment is exactly what makes Hadid's Cannes edits worth tracking. She's not performing a "style era" — she's just dressing, fluidly, between decades and moods without apology. Two years ago at the same Palais des Festivals red carpet, she debuted that now-iconic Saint Laurent brown naked dress. If history is any indicator, this daytime look is an opening act.
The real lesson here isn't about Tom Ford or even Bella — it's that the most interesting dressers refuse to be pinned to a single register.
