Her vintage, white Gucci dress was simple, with long sleeves and a straight skirt.
But she wore it with no bra underneath, and instead added a metal-encrusted pair of underwear seen through the circular cutout at her hip.

Her gown was designed by Roberto Cavalli Couture. It had a slip underneath that matched her skin tone and created the appearance of a see-through dress.
It was also decorated with crystals and had a floor-length skirt that extended into a short train. The gown's bodice, on the other hand, was sleeveless with crisscross straps across the chest.

The Jean Paul Gaultier dress had a black bra underneath a halter top made from twisted mesh. On top was another layer: a strapless white gown that sat beneath her bust.
Some of the mesh material was also attached to the back of the dress, creating a wide train that fanned out behind the model.

Hadid's red gown was designed by Roberto Cavalli. The single-sleeve, backless design had a cutout at one hip and a thigh-high slit in the front of its skirt.
It also had a jeweled strap that wrapped around her shoulders and held the actual dress up. She wore it with red sandals, matching lipstick, and an updo hairstyle.

The Saint Laurent piece had a halter neckline made from sheer mesh that revealed the model's chest. More of the fabric was wrapped in thick rows around her waist, creating an opaque panel above its sheer knee-length skirt.
Hadid wore the daring look with open-toe leather shoes and diamond-encrusted gold earrings.

She wore a red Alexandre Vauthier gown, which was sleeveless, backless, and had a loose-fitting top with a plunging neckline. The bold gown also had a flowing skirt with a hip-high slit.
Speaking with Vogue last year, the model said she actually feels "embarrassed" by the look, despite it "apparently" being "a very iconic red dress moment."
"I was nervous in this dress. I look very sexual and all these things," she said. "I was still nervous about cameras and nervous about having a lot of makeup on."
Hadid also said the dress didn't match her style, and it gave people a false perception of who she is.
"That's my alter ego. That's Belinda," she joked. "I'm just so the opposite of her. She's very va-va-voom. You know, bless her. Love her. She was very nervous."

The design was created by Schiaparelli, which described the garment on Instagram as a "long-sleeved dress in wool crepe with a low-cut neckline."
To cover her chest, Hadid donned a large, lung-shaped necklace that was made from "gilded brass" and "adorned with rhinestones," according to the brand.
The pairing made for one of the most daring looks at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival.
