Model Bella Hadid stunned many after donning a spray dress on the runway during the Paris Fashion Week.

Hadid walked on stage semi-nude, covering her breasts with one hand  while a team of technicians sprayed a self-hardening fabric modelled a spray on her body. 

After her body was sprayed to model a sleeveless dress, another artist walked to the stage to give the spray dress shape. 

Using her hands and a pair of scissors, she sculpted the dress onto Hadid.

She strutted down the runway, showing off her new custom-made white dress.

The spray, created by Manel Torres in 2003, is called Fabrican, dubbed "couture in a can." It is a liquid fibre that's bound together with polymers, bio-polymers and greener solvents, evaporating when it hits a surface.

Torres says the fabric feels like suede but the texture can change depending on what fibres are used and how the spray is applied.

The iconic moment has gone viral on Tik Tok where users have pointed out the similarities between it and the Spring 1999 Alexander McQueen fashion show. In the latter, model Shalom Harlow spun around as two robots spray painted yellow and black onto her white dress.
