Bella Hadid, though she may not be an actress, has become one of the most anticipated stars of the Cannes Film Festival, both on and off the red carpet.
The supermodel was recently photographed living it up on a yacht in the south of France after touching down for the infamous film festival. She was seen walking around in a tiny silver string bikini, chatting with friends, and interestingly, doing some yoga and stretching, which flaunted her fit figure. Not only are fans looking forward to seeing her looks for the festival, but it looks like Bella might also be kicking off this summer’s upcoming bikini trend. Read more about it below.

Bella Hadid Photographed In A Metallic String Bikini On A Yacht In France
The Cannes Film Festival has been officially underway since last week, and it is also marking the beginning of yacht season. So, not only are we beginning to see more people stepping out on the red carpet for the famous film-related events and premieres, but also, more stars putting on their summer clothes for outings on glamorous boats.
Last week, the Orabella founder was photographed hanging out on a yacht in the south of France between appearances at Cannes. After attending the Garance premiere with her brother last Sunday, she spent time on a boat wearing a teeny tiny, silver string bikini. As paparazzi recorded her, she hung out with friends and even did a few impressive yoga poses in a lounge chair, with her legs up in the air, flaunting her toned supermodel figure.
Bella wore some oversized black, futuristic-looking sunglasses with her metallic bikini and had her blonde hair worn down and in a loose bun throughout the day. You can see pictures of her on the yacht here!

Fans React To Bella's Bikini Pics On Social Media
After high-quality photos of the 29-year-old on the large yacht in France started spreading around social media, her fans and other internet users began weighing in on her summer look.
Not only were people impressed by her physique and model-esque beauty, but they also loved her swimsuit, indicating that we might be seeing a lot more metallic bikinis in the summer of 2026.
"It's amazing how beautiful she looks in every picture," commented a fan on Instagram.
"Her body is insane," wrote another.
"Metallic bikinis only for the win," one fan commented, with another adding, "She looks so good!"
We'll be curious to see if Bella has any other looks to pull out before the Cannes Film Festival comes to an end, whether that be on the red carpet or on another yacht. However, these bikini snaps have certainly made their mark, and just might've started a new summer trend.
