The Cannes Film Festival 2025 saw dazzling stars from across the globe, but one name echoed the loudest on every red carpet and fashion headline – Alia Bhatt. Making her much-anticipated Cannes debut, the Bollywood diva didn’t just show up—she stole the spotlight with every single look.
With her feet firmly planted in elegance and her heart in haute couture, Alia brought a fresh breath of glamour, grace, and unapologetic desi pride to the Riviera.
Let’s take a fashionable stroll through all the looks that made Cannes 2025 Alia Bhatt’s runway.
Look 1: The Regal Pastel Dream
Alia kicked off her Cannes debut with a whisper of romance and royalty. Draped in a soft pastel Schiaparelli gown, she floated down the red carpet like a queen who had finally arrived. Styled with a sleek bun, minimal accessories, and her signature confidence, fans online were quick to call her “Rani” (queen) — and rightfully so.
Look 2: Old Hollywood Meets Desi Retro
The actor wore a yellow Gucci co-ord set featuring a sleek pencil skirt, a matching cropped bustier top, and a tailored cropped jacket. Channelling the charm of iconic ’60s movie stars, Bhatt completed her look with a pair of black cat-eye sunglasses that brought just the right touch of drama. A mini handbag with gold accents added a sophisticated finish. That scarf, though, was beautifully accessorised with her look to complete the vintage demeanour. Her glam echoed the retro theme, with curled hair and a pop of classic red lipstick.
Look 3: Custom Gucci Sari for the Closing Ceremony
Designed exclusively for Alia, the historic saree featured the Italian luxury label’s signature monogram, intricately stitched and embellished with Swarovski crystals. With no pleats and a sleek, contemporary drape, the outfit merged the timeless elegance of Indian attire with Gucci’s avant-garde flair. The result? A dazzling, red carpet-worthy look that redefined the saree for the global runway. She paired the look with a matching deep-neck blouse and a figure-hugging skirt in a nude hue. Unlike her previous two looks, this time her makeup was bolder, with winged eyeliner, dewy cheeks, and a nude lip. She sealed the look with a Chopard diamond necklace and let her hair flow freely.
Look 4: Black Strapless Gown: Modern Elegance
Adding a touch of contemporary flair, Alia graced the Cannes red carpet in a sleek black strapless gown. The minimalist design highlighted her silhouette, while subtle accessories and a chic updo accentuated the ensemble’s modern elegance. This look demonstrated her versatility and keen fashion sense.
Behind the Scenes: Grace Under Pressure
Alia’s Cannes journey wasn’t without its challenges. A sudden power outage at her hotel before the closing ceremony tested her team’s creativity and resilience. Despite the setback, they ensured she was styled to perfection and ready on time.
Additionally, during the closing ceremony, a near fashion mishap occurred when her necklace nearly slipped off. Alia handled the situation with remarkable poise and grace, turning the potential mishap into an iconic moment.
Representing India on the Global Stage
As a global ambassador for L’Oréal Paris, Alia joined a distinguished lineup of international personalities, including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Eva Longoria, and Viola Davis. Her debut at Cannes not only showcased her fashion prowess but also marked a significant moment for Indian representation at the prestigious festival.
In her own words, Alia expressed her excitement:
“There’s something absolutely special about firsts — and I’m so excited to make my Festival de Cannes debut this year, an iconic celebration of cinema and self-expression.”
Alia Bhatt’s Cannes debut was indeed a blend of elegance, resilience, and cultural pride, leaving an indelible mark on the international stage.
