Cannes Film Festival 2025: Blondes ‘Cannes’ have more fun. Just look at Bella Hadid

As much as the ongoing Cannes Film Festival heralds global cinema, it also adjusts the spotlight onto red carpet fashion and international makeup trends. Celebrities fly from all over the world to walk down the famous steps at the La Croisette, which acts as a lens to forecast the future trends for the season ahead. While we’re only a day into the 2025 edition of the A-list event in Southern France, the limelight has already found its star muse for a summer trend.

Bella Hadid made her first official appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 just as the sun was setting, bathing the Southern French location in a kind of luminescence. What was even more luminous however, was the supermodel’s new hair colour. Wearing her tresses straight and parted down the side, she took the opportunity to showcase a new set of honey-hued locks. Her arm-length hair featured dark lowlights peeking through beneath the surface, giving traditional blonde tones a kind of depth that even a brunette could get behind. If you ever wondered if blondes have more fun, Bella Hadid gleefully smiling and posing for the shutterbugs will answer your question.

Her ensemble for the Cannes 2025 red carpet was a sleek black gown by by Anthony Vaccarello for Saint Laurent which featured a plunging back and partial cowl neckline with a slit running down the front. Chopard earrings and ankle-strap heels added a minimalistic touch without taking away from her talking point; her hair. 

Like her dark-toned outfit, Bella’s makeup for the red carpet moment only further enhanced the look of her honey blonde hair. Bronzer was generously dusted over her cheeks, nose and chin while her shimmering lids were finished with kohl-rimmed waterlines and lips set in a brown satin shade. Reminiscent of sunny days at the beach and sultry nights around a bonfire, Bella’s new hair colour was the perfect choice for a summer night on the Cannes red carpet. We’re certain it’s going to be hair colour inspiration for honey blonde hair in every salon, all season long.
