Bella is an advocate of vintage on the red carpet

Flanked by her father, Mohammed Hadid, Bella served a masterclass in vintage dressing. The 26-year-old wore a Azzedine Alaia navy acetate knit hooded maxi dress from the brand’s autumn/winter 1986 collection. The gown was previously worn by iconic singer Grace Jones,  who was a muse of the late Tunisian couturier. The gown is available on luxury vintage e-tailers 1st Dibs where it is valued at £27,000.

The look was complete with chandelier earrings and an exaggerated cat eye. Bella kept all the attention on her famous features by licking her back back into a wet look bun with a dramatic side part.

Bella wore vintage Azzedine Alaia

This isn't Bella's first foray into vintage of course. The style icon came dressed to impress at the 75th Annual Cannes Film Festival earlier this year, in a stunning Versace dress, pulled from the archives. The unmistakable peplum puffball silhouette of the dress nodding to the original era, as the gown was from the Italian couture house’s spring/summer 1987 collection. The strapless black gown featured a figure-hugging column silhouette and was adorned with a dramatic taffeta bow at the back.

A truly outstanding eye catching piece of fashion history. Hadid worked with celebrity stylist Law Roach on the look. Bella managed to keep the vintage look modern with dramatic bold black cat-eye makeup which accentuated her famous blue eyes. The hairstyle, a wet slicked back updo with a braided bun and single tendril framing her supermodel features completed the look.
