Bella Hadid showcased her stunning figure in a plunging black dress as she stepped out in Saint-Tropez during a sun-drenched holiday on Sunday. The 29-year-old supermodel looked sensational in the elegant long gown, which she paired with a chunky gold necklace and matching earrings. She opted for comfort in black flip-flops and carried her essentials in a woven black handbag. Styling her long blonde hair in a sleek updo, the runway star shielded her eyes with chic sunglasses. Bella was all smiles as she mingled with friends in the sunshine before posing for photos with a red Vespa.
Multiple Outfit Changes on a Luxury Yacht
The outing follows Bella's recent appearances at the Cannes Film Festival, where she wowed in a red bikini while relaxing on a luxury yacht in the French Riviera. During her day off, she changed outfits several times, swapping swimsuit cover-ups and accessories four times between sunbathing, swimming, and socializing with friends. On Saturday, she wore a burgundy red strapless bikini top with pearl white buttons and matching cheeky bottoms. Later, she threw on a striped retro-inspired button-down shirt over her swimsuit while walking around the yacht.
The previous day, she posed in a very cheeky white monokini for an impromptu photoshoot with friends. She styled her honey blonde hair in a messy updo with a claw clip and wore oval-shaped sunglasses, accessorizing with a red-beaded choker, massive gold hoop earrings, and a dainty watch. Bella was later seen sitting on the edge of the yacht, seemingly posing for playful snapshots. She also donned a red and white striped minidress over her swimsuit while perched on the railing for photos.
Family Affair at Cannes
Bella recently made the Cannes red carpet a family affair by bringing her brother Anwar as her date. The model siblings posed together on the vast red carpet in the French Riviera. Bella looked stunning in a custom white strapless Prada gown accessorized with sparkling Chopard diamonds, while her 26-year-old brother let her shine in a classic tuxedo. She later changed into a figure-skimming nude dress with a diamante-studded hem for her glamorous exit from the premiere.
Anwar, who has kept a low profile in recent years, focuses on his band HowVanish and his leather accessories brand Obsidien. In a recent interview with Wonderland Magazine, he revealed how Bella and their sister Gigi have supported his varied career. 'We're very supportive on an emotional level, but they've always trusted my path,' Anwar explained. He added that following his sisters into modeling never felt natural: 'I used to cry when people took pictures of me when I was little; I really don't like it. So the way my life turned out and who I am is not a surprise to my family.'
Health Struggles and Recovery
Bella took a career hiatus last year and has been regaining her strength after being hospitalized with symptoms from her 13-year battle with chronic neurological Lyme disease. Bella, her mother Yolanda Hadid, and Anwar contracted the tickborne illness in 2012 and 2013. Yolanda posted an Instagram tribute in September, praising Bella's resilience: 'You are relentless and courageous. No child is [supposed] to suffer in their body with an incurable chronic disease. I admire your bravery and your willingness to keep fighting for health despite the failing protocols and countless setbacks you have faced.'
Yolanda continued: 'There simply aren't words big enough for the darkness, the pain, and the unknown hell you've lived through since your diagnosis in 2013. You didn't really live, you learned how to exist inside the jail of your own paralyzed brain. I am so proud of the fighter that you are. You are not alone, I promise to have your back every step of the way, no matter how long this takes.' She added: 'This disease has brought us to our knees, but we always get back up. We will continue to fight for better days, together. You are a survivor. I love you so much my bada** Warrior.'
