If you've followed Bella Hadid's style journey for any length of time, then you'll know that she really comes into her own once the clock strikes Cannes and the model descends upon the French Riviera. Amping up the elegance, Hadid's Cannes Film Festival looks are nothing short of iconic, and once again, despite a last-minute update to the festival's dress code, the model confirmed that always be one of Cannes' best dressed.
Stepping out for the glamorous, ocean-front occasion, Hadid emerged in a new-season Jacquemus Agave Dress (£1,320), cut to a square-neck design with a sleeveless finish and drop-waist silhouette. Rendered in a rich black shade, Hadid's sophisticated dress spoke to the elegance of the occasion, while the light cotton composition ensured a breathable finish that could hold up against Cannes' early summer heat.
Accessorising for the event, Hadid slipped into Jacquemus' The Low Cubisto Slingbacks (£615), and carried the brand's Small Turismo bag (£850) in her clutches, draping a diamond silver necklace around her neck, and wearing Chopard earrings for the occasion.
Reminiscent of the low-waist designs that were popularised across the 1920s, drop-waist dresses impart a vintage energy that can be heightened or muted, depending on accessories. While Hadid's own dress was plucked from the Jacquemus' La Croisière runway collection, the timeless silhouette has been emulated across a number of labels this season. From H&M's swishy style to COS' panneled dress, read on to shop our edit of the best black drop-waist dresses below.
