Bella Hadid continues to prove that archival fashion moments never go out of style. The supermodel recently stepped out wearing a striking vintage piece that instantly captured attention. It blended classic elegance with a daring design detail. Known for her love of rare runway pieces, Hadid once again turned to fashion history for a standout look.
Bella Hadid’s Dior dress comes with unexpected thigh cutout and hangs by just 2 strings
For the appearance, Bella Hadid wore a vintage Dior gown from the Spring/Summer 1998 collection. The turquoise green dress featured a delicate lace-like fabric that hugged her body while maintaining a fluid, feminine silhouette. One of the most eye-catching elements of the design was the dramatic thigh cutout, which revealed a portion of her leg while creating a sculptural shape along the side of the gown. The unexpected detail added a bold twist to the otherwise romantic dress.
The most surprising feature, however, was how the design stayed in place. The gown was held together by just two thin strings, creating a barely there construction. The neckline fell into a soft cowl shape, while subtle fringe detailing near the neckline and cutouts added movement across the fabric. The dress then extended into a sleek, floor-length silhouette that balanced elegance with sensuality.
Hadid completed the look with minimal white strappy heels and soft glam makeup. She opted for bronzed skin, a nude lip, and brown eyes, thus allowing the vintage Dior design to remain the focal point. Hadid wore the vintage Dior look while promoting her fragrance brand Orabella at a launch event in partnership with Douglas. The model posed for photos while holding one of the brand’s signature bottles, tying the dreamy gown to the soft, romantic aesthetic of her beauty line.
With its unexpected construction and archival identity, the gown perfectly reflects Hadid’s signature style, where vintage couture meets modern red carpet confidence.
