The much-awaited Cannes Film Festival 2025 has finally started, and it’s already grabbing attention for its fashion, films, and famous faces. Held in Cannes, France, the event runs from May 13 to May 24 and features international movie premieres, glamorous red carpet moments, and appearances by global celebrities.
This year, one of the early highlights came from Indian actress Urvashi Rautela, who once again turned heads on the red carpet.
New Fashion Rules at Cannes 2025
Before we get into Urvashi’s eye-catching look, it’s important to talk about a major change this year. The Cannes Film Festival has introduced a strict dress code. The new rules ban see-through (sheer) dresses, “naked” styles, and any large or flowy outfits that could block others on the red carpet or make it hard to sit in the theater.
The official guidelines clearly say, “For decency reasons, nudity is prohibited on the red carpet, as well as in any other area of the festival. Voluminous outfits, especially those with large trains, that block the flow of people or make it hard to find a seat are not allowed.”
Festival staff will not allow anyone who breaks these rules to enter. Cannes has always had dress codes, sometimes criticized as unfair, but this year’s update is getting special attention. Now everyone is waiting to see how stars follow or break these new fashion rules.
Urvashi Rautela’s Grand Entry on the Red Carpet
Urvashi Rautela, who has now become a regular at Cannes, attended the opening ceremony and the premiere of the film Partir un jour (Leave One Day). She appeared in a colorful strapless outfit with bright shades of blue, red, and yellow. To make the look even more royal, she wore a matching tiara that sparkled under the lights.
But what really caught everyone’s eye was her unique clutch bag, shaped like a parrot and covered in crystals. This one-of-a-kind clutch became the most talked-about part of her outfit. In one of her photos, Urvashi can be seen holding the clutch close and giving it a kiss while posing for the cameras.
The Parrot Clutch That Stole the Show
According to the fashion page Diet Sabya, Urvashi’s beautiful clutch is from the luxury brand Judith Leiber. The crystal-studded parrot-shaped clutch costs around $5,495, which is approximately Rs 4.68 lakh in Indian currency. Judith Leiber is known for creating fun, eye-catching bags that are popular with celebrities all over the world.
Fans online have had mixed reactions – while many loved her bold choice, some found the clutch surprising and unexpected. Still, Urvashi made a strong style statement, and the pictures and videos of her Cannes appearance have gone viral across social media platforms.
