Fresh from her appearance in The Beauty, Bella Hadid is launching her Ôrebella fragrance line in Italy. For the occasion, the model borrowed a vintage Christian Dior gown, which was previously worn by Oscar winner Nicole Kidman.

In snaps shared to her Instagram Stories, Hadid could be seen wearing a pale blue floor-length brocade gown adorned with fringing and featuring a large sheer cut-out in its skirt. The elegant dress is taken from Christian Dior's Spring/Summer 1998 Ready-to-Wear collection, when John Galliano was at the helm.

Earlier this month, Raffe Vintage added this Dior gown to its global archive. It goes without saying that the iconic archival dress brings the romance to whoever is wearing it, making it the ideal elevated outfit for Hadid's Italian Ôrebella launch.
