Conspiracy theorists, take note: All those rumors that Bella Hadid and Carla Bruni are actually the same person have officially been debunked—and all it took was a selfie.
Online, the two supermodels have long been billed as doppelgängers. Their runway photos have been put side-by-side to show their remarkable similarities. For instance: Here's an image of Bruni at a a Lacroix Haute Couture show in 1996, and one of Hadid at the most recent Fendi show in February.
Despite this Internet-favorite fan theory, we had never seen Hadid and Bruni photographed together. That all changed at the 2018 Cannes Film Festival, where their fateful meeting took place, all thanks to Naomi Campbell.
This meeting-of-the-models happened at Campbell's annual Fashion For Relief gala on Sunday night, which raised funds for Save the Children and Time’s Up, according to Vanity Fair. The event has a fashion show component, which featured Hadid, Winnie Harlow, and Campbell herself, among other supermodels, per The Sun.
At some point of the evening, Hadid was able to meet her supermodel lookalike. Naturally, they documented it with a selfie.

Where one conspiracy theory ends, another begins: They may have shut down the rumor that they're secretly the same person by posing for a photo together, but Bruni decided to (jokingly) start another one herself. "Do I have a hidden daughter? @bellahadid," the Italian-French model captioned the selfie. The resemblance is uncanny.
