Bella Hadid arrived at the Cannes Film Festival in a vintage Prada look from the brand’s spring 1999 collection, choosing a sporty off-duty outfit over immediate red-carpet glamour.
The 2-piece set paired a sleeveless zip-up top with matching capri pants, punctuated by Prada Sport’s red label and styled to emphasize the outfit’s streamlined ’90s feel.
Puma Speedcat sneakers in metallic silver and black tied the look to the current “sneakerina” trend, while gold jewelry, angular sunglasses and a black leather tote sharpened the minimalist styling.
The appearance extends Hadid’s long-running Cannes fashion streak, as the 2026 festival — with guests including Dua Lipa and Sandra Hüller — has already emerged as a major style showcase.
