CANNES 2024’ / Saint Laurent FW24
The Cannes Film Festival has finally arrived, showcasing an array of breath-taking fashion choices that continue to dazzle and captivate attendees. In this article, we are talking about the star who makes headlines with every archive she wears, Bella Hadid.
Bella began her journey in the world of modeling when she was just 16 years old, signing up with the prestigious agency, IMG Models, back in 2014. Not only did she immediately feature in fashion weeks but was model of the year just 2 years after signing up to an agency.
The Hadid name comes from a significant legacy as her mother is Yolanda Hadid, a former model and interior designer and her father being the real estate mogul, Mohamed Hadid. Born on October 9, 1996, in Washington D.C., Bella had a rather unconventional path to modelling. Before entering the fashion industry, she focused on her equestrian dreams, aiming to compete in the 2016 Olympics. However, due to her battle with Lyme disease, she had to sideline her equestrian career. Bella eventually turned her attention to modelling, following in the footsteps of her older sister, Gigi Hadid. Her striking features, including high cheekbones and captivating eyes, quickly caught the attention of the fashion world. Bella Hadid's journey from an aspiring equestrian to a prominent figure in the modelling realm showcases her resilience and adaptability.
Very recently, she launched her new fragrance line "Orebella", showcasing a diverse range of scents inspired by her global travels and personal experiences. The collection offers a unique olfactory journey, blending delicate floral notes with exotic spices and woody undertones. With chic and sophisticated packaging reflecting Bella's effortless style, "Orebella" promises a luxurious sensory experience for fragrance enthusiasts worldwide.

The admiration for Bella Hadid has escalated significantly, not just for her exceptional modeling skills and relentless pursuit of excellence, but also for her active involvement in advocating for mental health and global issues. This genuine engagement provides a glimpse into her true character. In recent news, around the curiosity of if she will be attending the Cannes Film Festival, Bella has endorsed her Palestinian heritage more than ever before by wearing a keffiyeh style dress made by Michael and Hushi in the SS01 archive. Bella's unwavering support for the Palestine movement on a global scale shines through her generous donations and willingness to jeopardize her contracts. Her compassionate actions radiate love and inspire many others to join the cause.
Bella has consistently embraced her heritage by actively participating in pro-Palestinian rallies and using her voice to raise awareness on social media platforms. Her unwavering support for Palestine in the longstanding 75+ year genocidal conflict with Israel is evident in her actions and statements.
Bella has dedicated the last 8 months to being actively engaged in the movement , Hadid said in a post “I love my family, I love my heritage, I love Palestine. I will stand strong to keep their hope for a better land in my heart. A better world for our people and the people around them”
