Bella Hadid, 21, lit up the fashion world in 2017 when she stepped out in a naked dress at the Cannes amfAR gala. Bella was the epitome of sexy in the see-through, embellished look that was embroidered with crystals, glass beads, and a silver chain. Underneath the naked dress, Bella wore a bustier-style top and high-waisted briefs. She looked like a sexy angel! Bella has rocked a number of memorable gowns at Cannes. That same year, she also sizzled in a red silk gown that featured a plunging neckline and a slit that reached her waist.
