American supermodel Bella Hadid, a staunch Palestine supporter, made a striking statement at the Cannes Film Festival, showcasing her heritage and expressing solidarity with the Palestinian people.
After a two-year hiatus from the festival, Hadid returned in style, donning several eye-catching outfits before debuting a significant piece that honored her background.
Hadid’s appearances began with a sheer YSL dress and a black sequined Versace number, but it was her choice of attire for a later appearance that captured global attention.
The supermodel chose to wear a vintage dress made from keffiyeh fabric, a traditional Palestinian pattern, dating back to an archival Michael and Hushi design from 2001.

The red and white dress featured tassels and was paired with minimal accessories—red sandals, a hair scrunchie, tinted sunglasses, and gold hoops.
Hadid’s decision to wear the keffiyeh dress was more than just a fashion statement.
It was a declaration of her heritage and a public display of support for the ‘Free Palestine’ movement, a cause she has actively backed.
