You know what? I'm kind of tired of everyone referring to the leg slit as "Angelina Jolie [1]'s thing." The fact of the matter is, any woman can rock a leg slit, and Bella Hadid has proven that twice over on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet [2]. We still consider the sultry Alexandre Vauthier silk gown she wore back in 2016 [3] her sexiest look ever. Stylist Elizabeth Sulcer eventually revealed that that look came with a built-in bodysuit. But what were Bella's secrets this time around as she stole the spotlight at the Pain And Glory screening?
Just one day after slipping into a stunning Dior gown that could've passed for a wedding dress [4], Bella pulled this Roberto Cavalli number from the archives, complete with a flowing train, cutout, and elegant halter neckline. Bella completed her outfit with stunning diamonds and ruby earrings, along with a pair of Brian Atwood sandals. She may be a model, but it's plain to see that a dress like this one requires a lot of confidence — especially when you're posing for the cameras at such a monumental event. Ahead, read on to see throwback shots of Bella at Cannes in Alexandre Vauthier in 2016, then catch an all-angles view of her 2019 moment.
