Bollywood star Alia Bhatt turned heads as she graced the red carpet at the closing ceremony of the 78th Cannes Film Festival, held at the iconic Palais des Festivals on May 24. Dressed in a custom Gucci saree-inspired gown, embroidered with delicate crystals in a signature GG Monogram pattern, Bhatt brought a unique blend of Indian heritage and modern glamour to the international stage.
A Saree Reimagined, A Star Reborn
The ensemble, though deeply rooted in traditional draping, was a bold reinterpretation that highlighted Alia’s flair for fashion-forward statements. The soft, structured waves in her hair and minimal makeup allowed the intricate detailing of the gown to shine. Subtle yet impactful, her look embodied understated elegance with global appeal.
“Happy, sunny day at #Cannes2025,” Bhatt captioned her Instagram post, sharing a carousel of radiant red carpet photos with fans worldwide.
Global Presence, Grounded Voice
As Gucci’s global brand ambassador, Bhatt continues to redefine global Indian representation at luxury fashion’s biggest stages. Her presence at Cannes not only reaffirmed her growing international acclaim but also reflected the deeper emotional ties she maintains with events back home.
Originally scheduled to appear at the festival’s opening, Bhatt postponed her Cannes debut amid heightened India-Pakistan tensions earlier in May. In a poignant post dated May 13, she wrote:
“There’s a certain stillness in the air when a nation holds its breath… our soldiers are awake, alert, and in danger.”
A Star on the Move
Having recently starred in Vasan Bala’s “Jigra”, Bhatt is showing no signs of slowing down. She is currently preparing for two highly anticipated projects:
- “Alpha”, a futuristic action drama helmed by Shiv Rawail under the Yash Raj Films banner.
- “Love and War”, an epic romance directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, where she stars alongside Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
