Bella Hadid stuns Cannes crowd with see-through dress

The supermodel's attire drew criticism, with some suggesting she 'should have toned it down.'

Bella Hadid lost her "Queen of Cannes" fashion title the moment she set foot on the film festival's red carpet, according to a stylist. 

The once-lauded trendsetter challenged the event's dress code by ditching her bra and wearing a sheer halterneck.

Bella, 27, is known for her daring looks, and her return to the 77th Cannes Film Festival after a two-year hiatus was no exception. 

She appeared on the red carpet for The Apprentice screening in a pricey Saint Laurent cocktail dress by Anthony Vaccarello, paired with La Scandale wedges and Chopard jewelry. 

New York stylist Tavia Sharp remarked that it was "shocking" Bella did not cover her breasts at the prestigious event. The Orebealla founder last attended in 2022 with a more demure look. 

“This sheer, naked section of the 2024 dress stopped just below the crotch," Sharp told The U.S. Sun. "The top half of the dress made Bella look completely bare.

“There are also unsaid rules, so Bella would know that everything needs to be dialed down.”

The Cannes black-tie dress code and red-carpet rules mandate wearing heels. 

“To attend the Gala screenings, a dinner jacket (tuxedo) with a bow tie or evening dress is required," state the latest rules. "Elegant shoes, with or without heels, are required,” forbidding sneakers. 

Chris Hemsworth broke the black-tie code at the Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga premiere this year by forgetting his tie. 

According to WWD, a Vogue employee was turned away in 2023 for a colorful outfit.
