Supermodel Bella Hadid donned an original 1987 vintage Versace gown, radiating pure elegance, for her first red carpet appearance this year, in the recently concluded Cannes Film Festival.
Hadid wore a strapless classic black gown that was originally designed by Gianni Versace, for Austrian soprano and mezzo-soprano Helga Dernesch, for a performance at the opera Salomé, in Milan, in the year 1987.
The stunning strapless gown also features a draped bodice in black georgette and a panné velvet skirt. A flourish at the waist is crafted from a stiff taffeta band, which closes at the back of the dress. She accessorized her gown with minimal jewels from Chopard.
Hadid wore the vintage dress for the screening of French film ‘Les Innocents’ at the film festival. Taking to her Instagram, Hadid wrote, “Going to see an incredible movie, Les Innocents by @louisgarrelpage. Honoured to be wearing a 1987@versace dress by Gianni himself, Jewels by the amazing @chopard 🖤 Thank you for all of the amazing dresses you’ve loaned @luxurylaw and I, from your archive,@donatella_versace I hope to make you and Gianni proud always…”
The Palestinian supermodel paired her black gown with a chic pulled-back high bun, and her signature foxy-smudged eye makeup, looking like the dream she is.
The official Instagram Handle of Versace also shared an original illustration of the design, by artist Werner Bernskoetter.
Hadid’s also-supermodel sister Gigi Hadid took to the comment section to hype her little sister, by writing, “I said what I said (red-flaming heart), she saves the day (red-flaming heart)”.
