Unique Design
The unique dress was crafted in February 2001 by designers Michael and Hushi. The dress features spaghetti straps and an asymmetrical hemline, presenting a technical challenge according to designer Hushidar Mortezaie.
Styling Details
Styled by Molly Dickson, Hadid completed her look with red Gucci mules, a white eyelet scrunchie, and small rectangular sunglasses. She accessorized further with hoop earrings by Monica Vinader, perfectly matching her outfit's theme.
Cultural Significance
The keffiyeh is a symbol deeply rooted in Palestinian culture. Popularized in the 1960s by Yasser Arafat, its patterns carry significant meanings: the fishnet design symbolizes the Mediterranean Sea, the thick border lines represent trade routes, and the wavy lines depict olive leaves, symbolizing resilience and strength. Traditionally worn by men, the keffiyeh has become a broader symbol of solidarity with the Palestinian people.
Personal Significance
While Bella Hadid has had numerous standout fashion moments at Cannes, this keffiyeh dress holds a special personal significance, connecting her to her Palestinian heritage in a meaningful way.
