Watch: Bella Hadid's New Blond Hair Transformation Is Guaranteed to Be a Summer Trend

Bella Hadid is modeling a new look. 

The 28-year-old ditched her brown hair for a honey blond 'do while stepping out at the Cannes Film Festival on May 12.

For the outing, Bella kept most of her freshly lightened locks—colored and styled by Olaplex ambassador Jacob Schwartz—pulled back with a claw clip while a few strands hung loose, framing her face. Along with her new hair transformation, the supermodel—who waved to fans as she headed into her hotel—sported sunglasses, a white corset top and matching cropped low-rise jeans with tan heels. 

Of course, Bella isn't the only star who has touched down in France for the annual film festival, which is set to premiere directorial debuts from Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Stewart, among other films.

Halle Berry looked chic in all black while making her way from the airport to her lodging ahead of the five-day event. Meanwhile, Jeremy Strong was seen sporting a stylish gray suit, and Heidi Klum turned the festival into a fun date with husband of six years Tom Kaulitz

Bella Hadid's Riskiest Looks

And that's not the only way she paid tribute to her sister's special day. Bella also shared a special message highlighting Gigi's adorable bond with her and ex Zayn Malik's 4-year-old daughter Kai.

"You are the most funny, cool, fun, creative, artistic, loving, thoughtful human/big sis," the Orebella founder wrote on Instagram April 23. "To watch you be the best, most fun, bad ass mama to our Khaiba is the greatest gift to me as a sister."

Describing Gigi as having a "heart of gold," Bella continued, "You have taught me so much of how to be myself in a world of people telling us all who we are supposed to be."
