Bella Hadid in Ralph & Russo at Cannes amfAR gala: ugh or amazing?

Here are some photos of Bella Hadid at the annual amfAR gala at the Cannes Film Festival last night. Bella has been in Cannes for the entire film festival, and she’s really been doing a good job, I think. This year’s Cannes has really raised her profile, and she’s been doing editorials and picking up ad campaigns right and left while she’s been in town. Plus, she’s been doing the red carpet thing and I haven’t hated her style at all.

Personally, I’m not surprised that Bella wore something crazy-revealing to the gala. That’s why she’s there! I am, however, slightly surprised that this is A) Ralph & Russo, a label I associate with more sophisticated looks and B) so ill-fitting. The “granny panties” aspect of this is terrible, and I feel like half of her mons is hanging out. The top part is okay, but it would have been equally provocative with lining, just sayin’.

I would have expected Nicki Minaj to show up to the gala in something similar to Bella’s dress, but Nicki went with Roberto Cavalli and too-long extensions. The dress itself is rather boring and the crazy-long extensions? Eh.

    I would absolutely LOVE Bella’s dress if it wasn’t sheer. Sadly, many dresses at this festival would be to die for if not for their asses hanging out. And surprisingly, I like Nicki’s dress (I love gaudy). She actually looks classy for once (classy for Nicki). Though her hair just grosses me out. Can’t imagine going to the bathroom with it for fear of forgetting to move it out of the way in time.

  2. GDP says:

    I wonder if Bella got botox in her face because her smile is freaking me out.

    • kimbers says:

      Ya she looks like a 45yo reality tv reject

    • fiorucci says:

      If not Botox, then something! She must have gotten something in her face, mainly the bottom half.

    • Cynical Ann says:

      Yes-yikes. I was coming on to say I can now see why she never smiles. Not good.

    • AsIf says:

      I’m thinking some kind of cheek injections?

    • tigerlily says:

      WTF did she do to her face? Too many fillers.

    • Bee says:

      So it’s not just me? I was also going to say “this girl should quit smiling because she looks fully weird”. Is her hair pulled too tight or something and it’s throwing literally everything in her face out of whack?

      • Liberty says:

        I barely could tell it was her. She looks like a friendly jolly Russian country girl goose plucker who can pull a plow. I think for sure it is the hair?

  3. Seraphina says:

    I don’t understand the fascination with this woman. But to each their own. This outfit looks like something a Vegas showgirl would wear. The only missing piece is a head dress. And don’t get me started on these stupid leg poses. Enough already. It looks like a wooden leg is being used to prop up the torso.

    • doofus says:

      me neither. I don’t think she’s that pretty (to be clear, I don’t find her ugly but she’s not really “model material” to me).

      and Nicki looks like a wax figure whenever I see her on the RC. not sure if it’s her make up or what, but she doesn’t look real.

      • WeAreAllMadeofStars says:

        I second. She’s not her sister, that’s for sure.

      • Originaltessa says:

        I’ll say it, I think she’s kind of ugly. Ugly in the way Madonna has become ugly. There’s something very unnatural about fillers and Botox, especially on a woman in her early 20’s.

      • SKF says:

        Wow these comments are pretty nasty!!! No wonder she got some plastic surgery with people saying stuff like this and negatively comparing her to her sister. I think she’s stunning. Everyone who works with her seems to adore her, all the older established supermodels live her too. She seems like a sweet girl.

    • WhichWitch says:

      I think she’s super striking… I wish I didn’t but I do haha.

    • Bug says:

      Like a Vegas showgirl wrapped in a shredded shower curtain. Maybe the hair is doing her face no good service here, or maybe it’s just the angle of the shot that is not the best for her face shape. I have no idea of who she is, but image-googlin’ her on the web I find her a cute girl.
      As for Minaj, I prefer her with brighter colors. Not to mention that disappointing Spanish-senorita-siren-gown and those frightful extensions which remind me of the apartment interiors of the protagonist of Cronenberg’s “Spider”.

    • teehee says:

      Me either, I think both of them are quite ugly, actually. I suppose they are just admired cos they can wear nearly nothing in front of cameras and have long legs?

  4. Megan says:

    Was Nicki’s hair inspiration the Sonny and Cher show?

  5. I Choose Me says:

    Something nice, something nice. I like Bella’s smile. That’s all I got.

    Nicki looks aight but agree on the extensions. For why?

  6. Alleycat says:

    How many times can you go on a red carpet wearing the same, revealing outfit? It’s so boring. I wish models didn’t thing getting almost nude = risks. There are other ways to be edgy or sexy. Something nice- she looks more natural when she smiles.

  7. astrid says:

    Big nope to both.

  8. ElleBee says:

    I think Bella was stunning in this. My one complaint is the shoes though, to me they make her legs look shorter.

    Nicki…..sigh. That hair is awful and she’s still trying to make it a thing. It looks stringy and cheap and she’s too short to carry it and her fashion choices are terrible

    • sa says:

      I kind of like the shoes, they at least give her legs some cover.

      • ElleBee says:

        I like the shoes but not with the dress. I also kinda wish the dress was lined but she still looks nice

  9. swak says:

    Why not just go naked? Honestly, these dresses are not sexy and their overrated and it’s time to stop this trend. JMO

    • Karen says:

      I agree. Can’t stand these barely there dresses. They appear desperate for press. And desperation is not sexy.

    • WhichWitch says:

      She was basically naked at the Met Gala. It looked terrible.

    • Moneypenny says:

      I totally agree. Remember JLo’s green Versace dress and how scandalous that was? That was like a granny nightgown compared to these dresses these days.

  10. Fred says:

    bella’s shoes are amazing.

  11. KBeth says:

    Both are pretty awful & count me among those who don’t see the big deal about Bella….very average looking.

  12. Cee says:

    I’m tired of these sheer dresses. I don’t find them sexy or beautiful, at all. Love her shoes, though.

  13. DiamondGirl says:

    Bella’s reminds me of Amber Rose’s dress from some event I don’t remember.

    This one: http://www.hawtcelebs.com/amber-rose-at-2014-mtv-video-music-awards/

    • mary s says:

      I clicked on your link. Amber Rose is amazing and that photo of her is everything. Poor Bella looks so insignificant in comparison.

  14. I loved the dress, but like others, wished it had a lining for the skirt. Bella is really starting to grow on me as a model. I think she may surpass her sister!

  15. bonobochick says:

    Bella is wearing Halle Berry’s dress. She doesn’t look bad but… meh.

    I have more issues with Bella’s styling above the neck. The hair isn’t flattering and her face looks puffy with that hair style.

  16. AIC says:

    I am sick and tired of seeing Bella Hadid’s underwear, skeletal hipbones and labia hanging out. Does this woman not know any other style? Her instagram (don’t look, big mistake on my part), is full of poses of her with these ridiculous wedgies showing her gross hipbones. Seriously, a few more photos of hers and I;ll know her crotch like the back of my hand.

    • WingKingdom says:

      Exactly. Labia squishing out the side is a sure sign you’re doing it wrong.

      Now I’m going to go look at her IG because I am a masochist.

  17. Nancy says:

    I seriously do not get the reason that Bella is a thing, I think she looks like Quagmire out of family guy.

  18. Zaratustra says:

    I think Bella did too many fillers / cheekbone implants. Her rather beautiful original smile looks weird. It looks as if her cheeks couldn’t “give in” properly to that smile because said cheeks are stiffened up with fillers / cheekbone implants.

  19. Joannie says:

    I dont find her remotely attractive. She’s kinda scary looking actually. This years Cannes to me has been who can wear the least clothing without being completely nude.

    • Ksenia says:

      Agreed. I think Bella is not just average looking, but rather on the plain/homely side. Her former face, pre plastic surgery, was strikingly different than her current one. Idk: I would not want to look like her, that’s for sure.

  20. African Sun says:

    I love Nicki but the length of that hair swamps her and makes her look shorter. Neal Farinah is a fabulous hairstylist for her but that length needs to go.

    Bella’s hair is a disaster but she is a cute girl.

  21. Twinkle says:

    Why bother even wearing clothes?

  22. Lauren II says:

    Bella’s face looks puffy and unattractive. Yikes.

  23. blonde555 says:

    I guess Nicky is still suing her former extension/wig maker 😕

    The bottom part of Bellas face looks like it can’t move. Everyone saying she should smile more, smiiiiiizzzeee, she’ll look better when she smiiiilleesss…. are yall crazy??! I’m here saying NO!! PLEASE NO!! She looks better deadpan.
    She has too much filler/botox to smile, her face doesn’t have enough room and all the features upturn in an uncomfortable gummy smile.

  24. Bianca says:

    She had a new nose job.

  25. kri says:

    And this is why not for one second have i ever thought either of the Hadids were at all attractive. They look ..oddly aged and dull and filled with Restylane. I love vibrant beauty-where is Jessica Chastain or lupita or Helen Mirren?!?!

  26. Michael says:

    I think Bella has grown into a gorgeous woman. And she does look great when she smiles – model material!

  27. Eve V says:

    Bella looks beautiful when she smiles. She needs to stop with the injectables tho.

    Nicki’s hair is a big nope here.

  28. KLO says:

    I like Bellas overall look and she is a good looking woman but her styling here is so damn subpar.
    Nicki Minaj looks great in her dress but I hate the big shoes. I generally dont like when tiny women put on hooves to look taller. There is nothing wrong with your height, woman. Get a grip.

  29. Anare says:

    I think Bella is beautiful in an exotic, intriguing way. Her looks are unique. She also has an incredible figure. About that dress tho’…I’m so over see-through, I am so tired of designers having to wow me using cheap inelegant means. I’d like to be wowed by color, fabrics, the artistry, the makeup and styling, not because I can see the woman’s nipples, ass or vag lips. 😒

  30. Claire8 says:

    I’m seeing a bit of Jocelyn Wildenstein.

  31. jferber says:

    I don’t see Bella as even remotely attractive. Any one of us Celebitches could slay her in the looks department with that amount of money to splurge/squander on appearance. Yes, I’m throwing down.

  32. teacakes says:

    Not sure why Bella Hadid is the leading pic in this post but she fully looks like the D-lister she is.

    Whichever Celebitch is was that said you could tell who the lesser celebs/social media randoms were at Cannes because they always turned up half naked unlike the real movie stars, was right.

  33. Katie says:

    1. I don’t think Bella’s dress would look good on anyone.

    2. This dress is particularly unflattering to Bella’s body type.

    3. Is something wrong with her hair? She never really does anything with it.

    4. I like her shoes.

    That’s all I’ve got.

  34. bliss! says:

    Bella looks good.

  35. christina says:

    Bella looks anacephalic with that hair style, just hideous.

  36. Victoria says:

    That is one scary cat face. We give the Kardashian-Jenners a hard time about their “work”, Bella’s is out of control but rarely mentioned.

  37. Bread and Circuses says:

    I’m glad to see her smiling more. She looked so incredibly dead-eyed doing her Zoolander “Blue Steel” all the time, and now she looks human.

    As for the dress, if you’re going to be naked in public, then that dress is an extremely pretty way to be naked in public.
