Tearing up the runway with fellow megastars Rihanna and Kendall Jenner at last month's Cannes Film Festival, Bella Hadid looked on top of the world. As part of a catwalk show in aid of Naomi Campbell's Fashion For Relief charity, supermodel Hadid was surrounded by style and Hollywood royalty.

But with her effortless poise and regal looks, it was Hadid who most resembled a true monarch as she reigned the red carpet in a stunning quilted gown perfectly set off by sparkling Bulgari Serpenti jewellery, one day before the fashion show at the press call for controversial movie Okja.

Clearly revelling in her time at Cannes, Hadid's Instagram feed turned into a non-stop slideshow of glam gowns, parties, yachts and bikinis. She even kept it in the family, bringing her father Mohamed Hadid along to her appearance at the opening of the storied festival and captioning an Instagram daddy-daughter portrait of the pair as 'The one'.

Of course, Bella and property mogul Mohamed aren't the only famous Hadids — Bella cites her elder sister, baby faced fellow supermodel Gigi, as her inspiration, calling herself Gigi's biggest fan. And for good reason — Gigi debuted as a model at just four years old, paving the way for the pair to eventually take the fashion industry by storm together. Mother Yolanda, also a former international model, is best known for starring in The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, cementing the family's status in Los Angeles high society.
