Over the years, Bella Hadid has remained vocal about her Palestinian roots and unwavering in her support for Palestine amid ongoing occupation. Whether through bold statement pieces or subtle details woven into her everyday looks, the supermodel has consistently used fashion as a form of solidarity and self-expression. Here are the looks that honored her heritage and sent a powerful message through style.
Palestinian Key Necklace

At the 2026 Cannes Film Festival red carpet, Bella Hadid dazzled in an all-black look from Tom Ford’s2026 RTW collection. But while the outfit itself turned heads, it was her sparkling silver necklace that truly captured attention. From afar, the piece appeared to resemble a simple key shape, but up close, it revealed the outline of the map of Palestine, a subtle yet powerful detail that quietly carried a clear message of solidarity.

Maqlouba Dress by Reemami
In 2025, Bella Hadid celebrated the launch of a new fragrance under her brand Orebella called Eternal Roots, a name she personally linked to her Palestinian heritage and sense of identity.
To mark the launch, Hadid shared photos wearing a dress by Reemami, owned by Dubai-based Palestinian designer Reema Al-Banna. The piece featured traditional Tatreez embroidery alongside deeply familiar Palestinian cultural motifs, including a horse and cart and a tin of olive oil, blending fashion with symbols of memory, heritage, and home.
“To Palestine” Pin by Fatma Mostafa
This pin has become a recurring detail in many of Bella Hadid’s looks. The handcrafted piece, designed by Cairo-based jewelry artist Fatma Mostafa, features the outline of the map of Palestine filled with traditional keffiyeh-inspired patterns. Over the years, Hadid has styled the subtle accessory with several outfits, turning it into a quiet yet meaningful way to carry and honor her roots wherever she goes.
Keffiyeh Dress by Michael and Hushi
Cannes Film Festival 2024
This year wasn’t the first time Bella Hadid made a statement at the Cannes Film Festival. During the 2024 festival, she was photographed on the Croisette in France wearing the archival 2001 “Free Palestine Forever” dress by Michael and Hushi, a striking red-and-white gown inspired by the patterns of the Palestinian keffiyeh.
The keffiyeh, a traditional Arab headdress, has long become a symbol of Palestinian identity and solidarity, recognizable through its signature checkered print and tasseled details.
“Free Palestine” Top by Trashy Clothing X GmbH
In 2022, Bella Hadid stepped out in New York City wearing a white tank top emblazoned with the words “Free Palestine” inside an orange circle. The statement piece was a collaboration between Berlin-based fashion label GmbH and Palestine-based brand Trashy Clothing, turning a casual street-style look into a clear expression of solidarity.

The viral 2024 Cannes Film Festival dress wasn’t the first time Bella Hadid publicly embraced the Palestinian keffiyeh.

With these looks, Bella Hadid turns fashion into more than just style; it becomes her language. Whether she’s stepping out in bold statement pieces or slipping subtle nods into her everyday outfits, she consistently uses clothing to speak up, celebrate her Palestinian roots, and keep her message visible to the world.
