After taking some much-deserved time mostly out of the spotlight, Bella Hadid is back in a big way, which means lots of new fashion inspiration from one of our favourite style stars ever. In the past few months, she launched a fragrance line, Orebella, and jetted off to Cannes, where she showed off look after look after look. The Bella Hadid Lookbook keeps on growing, and we’re definitely adding her latest outfit to the list.
Bella Hadid put her spin on the corset trend with her latest Instagram photo set, sharing a handful of pics and videos of herself wearing an ultra-pale petal pink brocade pencil dress with spaghetti straps and a fitted bodice and skirt.

From the front, it looks like a simple, classic cocktail dress that could have walked out of literally any decade, but when Hadid turned around, there was a surprise in store: the dress laced all the way up the back with corset-style ribbons, starting at the bodice and ending just below Hadid’s butt. Business in the front, party in the back — and perfect for soaking up the summer sun, as the model showed us in her carousel. (Citing Cher, let’s hear it for the back of the dress!)

To show off the dress in all its lace-up glory, Hadid pulled her dark hair up in a sleek bun and accessorized with a major pair of Chopard diamond drop earrings, plus a pair of ankle-strap heels and sunglasses. (Oh, and a bottle of Orebella fragrance and a can of Kin Euphorics, obviously.)
The peekaboo corset is having a moment, and Hadid isn’t the only star to embrace the look. Anya Taylor-Joy wore a daring red Mugler minidress with thin black straps that was cheeky in the most literal sense of the word, while Katy Perry, Justine Skye, and Ice Spice all wore variations on the corset trend at the Billboard Women in Music event, with Perry’s two-piece set tied up over a visible thong. When in doubt, lace it up!
