Prepare to be dazzled by Bella Hadid's latest fashion moment, a true homage to the iconic Nicole Kidman!
In a stunning display of vintage glamour, Bella raided the Christian Dior archives for her fragrance brand's launch party in Milan. She stepped out in a breathtaking pale blue-green fringed gown, a masterpiece from the spring 1998 ready-to-wear collection. But here's where it gets controversial: this very same dress was worn by Nicole Kidman almost three decades ago, gracing the pages of Harper's Bazaar Australia.
The floor-length brocade dress, a creation of the legendary John Galliano, features a sheer cut-out panel and delicate fringe, adding an air of sophistication. Galliano's vision for this collection, titled "In a Boudoir Mood," reflected his belief in the return of romanticism and elegance as we approached the millennium.
A version of this iconic dress recently sold at auction in Paris for a whopping €15,120, a testament to its timeless appeal.
And this is the part most people miss: the dress was sourced by the archival vintage specialists, Raffe Vintage, who also supplied Hadid with a 1995 Gianni Versace suit for another event. She styled this look with spotted peep-toe heels, a sleek black headband, and a Valentino polka-dotted shoulder bag, creating a modern twist on vintage elegance.
Hadid's vintage streak continued as she attended an Orebella brunch, donning an archival Thierry Mugler ivory silk skirt suit and Chopard jewelry. A similar belted couture jacket is available for purchase, a true piece of fashion history.
But wait, there's more! Earlier this week, she launched her Miss Sixty x Bella capsule collection, showcasing head-to-toe denim looks at the brand's flagship store. She paired her jeans with a white turtleneck, huarache-style sandals, and red-tinted sunglasses, proving her versatility in fashion.
And if that wasn't enough, Bella made her Prada runway debut last week, walking not once but four times in layered ensembles designed by Miuccia Prada and Raf Simons. With only 15 models cast for the show, each model peeled off a layer, creating 60 unique runway moments. It was a triumphant return for Hadid to the Milan Fashion Week catwalk since 2022.
