You can always trust Bella Hadid to bring her vision of classic glamour to the Cannes Film Festival, but she’s not afraid to bring a little something different to town either. This morning, she traded out red carpet romance for something a little edgier.

While walking down the Palais des Festival steps with a friend, Hadid was sharply outfitted in a jet-black jumpsuit from Tom Ford’s fall 2026 collection. Her silky ensemble prominently featured a triangular side cutout across its waistline, spliced by a thin buckled belt attached to its flowing trouser base. The sultry moment was accentuated by a high-necked bodice with cuffed long sleeves and a dangling silver key charm, creating a futuristic fashion moment.

While her look wouldn’t have been out of place in either The Matrix or Berlin’s finest warehouses, Hadid kept the ensemble grounded in the present with an array of chic accessories. Black patent leather d’Orsay pumps continued the one-piece outfit’s cutout theme while bringing it a distinct polish. The star’s look was complete with dark oblong sunglasses and diamond stud earrings, as well as a glistening rectangular watch.

The night before, at the Chopard Miracle Gala, the model was aglitter in a beige gown with a sweeping hem and shimmering gold sequin embroidery. Naturally, as a Chopard ambassador, Bella completed her look with an orbiting diamond necklace and earrings from the fine jewelry brand. Mom Yolanda Hadid was her date, so the moment marked Hadid’s latest Cannes family affair; she attended the festival’s Garance screening with younger brother Anwar Hadid over the weekend.

With her latest whirlwind quick change, Hadid continued her reigning streak as Cannes’s ultimate fashion chameleon. Her looks in the South of France have already transitioned from bohemian to futuristic to vintage aesthetics, all while leaving room for the formal glamour that is the signature of the festival’s red carpet. As the bustling occasion continues, all eyes are undeniably on what she—among a stylish group of Cannes visitors including Demi Moore, Ruth Negga, and more—will wear next.
