Bella Hadid Went Braless in the Slinkiest Summer Minidress in Cannes

High temperatures call for even higher hemlines. Just look at Bella Hadid who arrived in the South of France for the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, wearing a leg-baring minidress while stepping out for a stylish stroll in the sun. 

Proving that the best fashion moments of the festival don’t always occur on the red carpet, the supermodel hit the streets in an outfit that screamed summer. For the daytime outing, Hadid went braless in an espresso brown minidress complete with spaghetti straps and stitching below the bust and at the hips that gave the illusion that she was wearing high-cut underwear. She paired the slinky dress with pink suede kitten heels from Prada, a stack of thin gold bangles on one wrist, and a nude handbag with three-dimensional floral detailing that matched the shade of her shoes. 

Her brunette hair was styled straight and slicked back behind her ears, revealing a pair of chunky gold hoops and gold-rimmed aviator sunglasses. Hadid completed her glam with a nude lip, bronzed skin, and soft pink blush. 

Hadid’s latest outing marks her first Cannes appearance in two years. While she skipped the festival completely in 2023, she attended multiple red carpet events the previous year—including the Broker premiere, where she stunned in a white boat-neck gown that included a hip cutout dressed up with gold hardware. Strappy white heels, drop diamond earrings, and a bouncy blowout provided the perfect finishing touches to her look.
