Days before the opening ceremony of the illustrious event, authorities released a statement informing attendees that there would be zero tolerance for provocative and revealing dresses:

"For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival. Voluminous outfits, in particular those with a large train, that hinder the proper flow of traffic of guests and complicate seating in the theater are not permitted.”

The Cannes Film Festival's management added that anyone found in contravention of the dress rules would be removed from the red carpet:

"The festival welcoming teams will be obligated to prohibit red carpet access to anyone not respecting these rules.”

Bella Hadid’s Saint Laurent dress seemed to be within the dress code as she twirled on the red carpet without any incident. The model rocked her signature thin eyebrow look with smoky eyes and nude lips.

On May 12, 2025, Bella Hadid was photographed arriving at the Hotel Martinez in a white corset top, which she paired with flare pants and vintage Saint Laurent heels.

Bella Hadid’s previous Cannes Film Festival looks have been so spectacular that she earned the title “Queen of Cannes” from popular stylist Law Roach.

At the 2024 event, Hadid looked elegant in a black floor-length dress with a sheer bodice and sequinned skirt. In 2022, she opted for a vintage Versace white dress, which she paired with matching sandals.

In 2021, she rocked the viral Schiaparelli lung dress. For the 2019 Cannes Film Festival, she matched the red carpet in a Roberto Cavalli cut-out dress. In 2018, she posed for the cameras in a metallic grey halter-necked dress from Elie Saab.

In 2017, she wore a textured red dress from Christian Dior’s Spring 2017 collection. In 2016, she dazzled in a golden dress from Roberto Cavalli.
