Bella Hadid left little to the imagination at the 2024 Cannes Film Festival, donning a completely sheer dress for the premiere of *The Apprentice* on May 20. The supermodel made a bold fashion statement in a naked dress from Saint Laurent's fall/winter 2024 collection, proving once again that she's unafraid to push the boundaries of style.
The daring design featured a plunging halter neckline and a curve-hugging knotted bodice, accentuating Bella's figure. The latte-colored mididress was paired with brown peep-toe heels and diamond-adorned drop earrings from Chopard, adding a touch of glamour to the provocative ensemble.
Bella completed her look with soft glam makeup and loose pin-up curls, styled with a deep side part for an old-Hollywood vibe. The attention to detail in her appearance did not go unnoticed, making her one of the standout stars of the evening. At 27, Bella has been embracing Earthy tones and natural inspirations, coinciding with the launch of her new fragrance, Orebella. This new venture reflects a shift in her career focus, as she expressed in an interview with *Allure* published on April 30.
"After 10 years of modeling, I realized I was putting so much energy and love and effort into something that, in the long run, wasn't necessarily giving it back to me", Bella said. Her passion for perfumery, deeply rooted in her Arab heritage, has become her new priority. "Growing up in an Arab family, perfume and scents were almost a personality trait. I can still remember the way my grandparents smelled when they walked into a room. My uncle Mahmoud was making his own essential oils in the 70s—woody, tobacco-smelling scents".
Bella emphasized that Orebella is more than just another celebrity beauty line. "It was something I was already extremely passionate about, and I didn't want to keep it for myself anymore", she noted. While Bella continues to make waves in the fragrance industry, her appearance at Cannes proves she still has a great sense of style. The 2024 Cannes Film Festival has seen many stars impress on the red carpet, but Bella Hadid's bold fashion choice has certainly left a lasting impression.
