The Cannes Film Festival has wrapped up for another year. If anyone was worried that Bella Hadid—crowned the Queen of Cannes—wouldn’t deliver the stunning outfits her appearances on the Croisette have long promised (like the gilded Schiaparelli lungs or the keffiyeh patchwork dress), those concerns were put to rest. In fact, this season on the French Riviera might have been her best yet.
Now that she’s checked off the red carpet circuit, Hadid is free to enjoy the South of France—without sacrificing style. The model was spotted out and about in Saint-Tropez with her brother (and recent red carpet date) Anwar Hadid, both dressed like their best summer goth selves. Bella wore a nearly sheer black V-neck tank maxi dress from Massimo Dutti, paired with black thong sandals and lots of gold jewelry: a Chelsea Girl ring with a purple stone, a Chanel Gripoix cross pendant necklace, a Shay Pave diamond pinky ring, layers of thin gold chain necklaces, an ear cuff, gold bangles, and oval sunglasses. She carried a Massimo Dutti woven croissant bag, and her hair was slicked back into a side-parted bun.
She walked arm-in-arm with Anwar, who matched her vibe in a black scoop-neck vest, extra-long cargo shorts (a trend Vogue has already spotted), a distressed gray cap, and black sneakers.

This marks a smooth and sleek shift from the high-energy looks Bella and stylist Mimi Cuttrell brought to Cannes—an event the model has been attending for about 10 years now. This season, she relied on killer archival pieces: from an icy blue Marc Jacobs spring 2003 zip-up dress to sparkling Elie Saab. There were also some spectacular custom and runway moments, like a Schiaparelli gown that defied the no-nudity rule and some princess-like Prada.

For Bella Hadid, at least, a South of France girl summer is an aesthetic with plenty of room to play. Sunbathing on yachts, she’s worn a brilliant orange and black swirled Pucci one-piece from the house’s spring-summer L’Alba collection, and a Prada spring 2001 skirt turned into a tube dress, originally worn by Gisele Bündchen on the runway.
The Queen of Cannes has certainly put together a vacation wardrobe that rivals reigning vacation fashion queen Dua Lipa.
