Bella Hadid Accessorizes Her Bright-White Monokini With a Sweet Little Crochet Bandana
And she accessorized it with a sweet little crochet bandana

Cannes has a new unofficial mascot, and she's standing on the bow of a boat looking impossibly tan. Bella Hadid — model, Orebella founder, and the French Riviera's most committed aesthetic presence — has been turning the 79th annual Cannes Film Festival into a one-woman fashion retrospective, with pit stops for seaside meals and the occasional swim.
Her latest beach moment centered on a white one-piece from Indah: the Heart of Gold suit, a plunging ruched bodysuit with a thong cut and rows of strings tied at the waist. The brand markets it as a piece built for your entire wardrobe — not just the water — and Hadid proved the point by wearing it exactly like an outfit. A matching crochet bandana, oversized Chanel sunglasses, and chunky gold hoops were her only additions. Nothing more was needed.
The Archival Pull
The swimwear flex was just one chapter. According to Harper's Bazaar, Hadid spent the week cycling through a staggering run of vintage and archival looks: a safari-inflected Jean Paul Gaultier dress from the '90s, a Chantal Thomass two-piece from 1988, and an icy blue gown from the Louis Vuitton Spring 2003 collection under Marc Jacobs. She also wore a brand-new black set from Tom Ford Fall 2026 ready-to-wear by Haider Ackermann — proof that she's just as comfortable in the new as she is in the rare.
What makes the Cannes edit so watchable isn't the budget or the access — it's the coherence. Whether she's in a decades-old Gaultier or a $200 swimsuit with a bandana, every look feels intentional without feeling try-hard. That's the thing about real personal style: it doesn't announce itself.
File the crochet bandana as your summer's most underrated accessory move — simple, tactile, and just offbeat enough to feel like yours.
