Supermodel Bella Hadid made a stunning return to the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival recently with a bold and daring look. She turned heads in a sheer, ruched dress by Saint Laurent without any bra and confidently posed for shutterbugs. Complementing her ensemble, she wore strappy wedged sandals and adorned herself with sparkling jewellery.

The 27-year-old supermodel was spotted at the iconic Palais des Festivals in a plunging brown naked dress that highlighted her figure and made her stand out among the other celebrities. Her triumphant comeback was for the premiere of the film The Apprentice.

Her look was completed with side-swept Hollywood waves, adding a touch of old-school glamour to her modern and bold appearance. For her makeup, Hadid opted for a sophisticated monochromatic look, using brown tones on her eyes, cheeks, and lips to harmonize with her dress. She added a touch of glamour with glittering jewels adorning her ears and fingers, accessorising with exquisite Chopard jewelry.

Wearing and styling a sheer dress requires confidence and a few strategic choices to balance sophistication and elegance. If you breakdown Hadid’s latest look at the Cannes, you too can style a sheer dress to create a look that is both fashionable and flattering. Here are some tips on how to get it right:

Choose the right undergarments: Opt for undergarments in nude tones that match your skin color for a seamless look. A fitted bodysuit or slip can provide coverage while maintaining the sheer effect. If you're comfortable, wearing beautiful, well-coordinated lingerie can add a bold statement.

Layering: A tailored blazer or a chic leather jacket can add structure and a bit of modesty. Layering a high-waisted skirt or shorts under the sheer dress can provide extra coverage and create an interesting style contrast.

Accessorise thoughtfully: Choose elegant jewelry that complements the dress without overpowering it. Delicate pieces or statement earrings work well. A belt can define your waist and add an extra style element. Thin, elegant belts are great for a refined look. For shoes, pick strappy sandals, stilettos, or even ankle boots, depending on the occasion. Match the formality of your shoes with the event.

Hair and makeup: Hairstyles like Hollywood waves, a sleek ponytail, or an elegant updo can enhance the dress's glamour. Go for makeup that complements the sheer dress. Monochromatic tones, a bold lip, or smoky eyes can elevate your look. Stand tall and walk with confidence. The way you carry yourself can make a huge difference. Make sure you feel comfortable in your outfit. Adjust the elements until you’re satisfied with both the look and feel.
