Yes, she already came, saw, and conquered the Croisette, but Bella Hadid just wore a dress with some serious Cannes Film Festival history.
After a morning of filming Chicken Shop Date, Hadid swapped out her brown outfit (or browtfit, if you will) for something a bit more formal. Celebrating her Orebella fragrance launch in the UK, the model chose a glittering silver chainmail dress from John Galliano’s fall 1997 collection, outfitted with a V-neck, asymmetrical hemline, and metallic rosette details. She accessorized with a diamond tennis necklace, diamond drop earrings, and silver Jimmy Choo lace-up kitten heels—plus a bunch of white roses in her hair.
Not long after model Hedvig Marie Maigre debuted the dress on the runway, actor Milla Jovovich wore it to the premiere of Luc Besson’s The Fifth Element at the 50th annual Cannes Film Festival. While Hadid chose to switch up her footwear, Jovovich stayed true to the runway interpretation in a pair of strappy silver sandals that wound up her calf.
From Milla Jovovich’s Cannes appearance in 1997 to Bella Hadid’s Orebella launch in 2025, this dress truly stands the test of time. Now that’s what we call an It-Girl legacy.
