Bollywood star Alia Bhatt made a big splash at the 78th Cannes Film Festival this week, turning heads as she walked the red carpet for the first time. Her appearance wasn’t just about fashion — it was a powerful moment for Indian cinema on the global stage.
Alia wore a beautiful custom gown by the famous fashion house Schiaparelli. The off-shoulder dress was made with soft Chantilly lace and decorated with delicate flower designs made of organza and enamel. The bottom of the gown had flowing ruffles in light fabrics like mousseline and tulle, giving it a dreamy and elegant feel. Her look was a mix of old-school beauty and modern style — just like Alia herself.
Celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor put the outfit together perfectly, making sure Alia looked stylish without trying too hard. The overall vibe was classy, graceful, and confident.At Cannes, many big names from India were present, including Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Janhvi Kapoor, and Ishaan Khatter. But Alia managed to stand out and make her own mark.
There were rumors earlier that Alia might skip Cannes because of ongoing tensions between countries, but she proved everyone wrong. She didn’t just attend — she owned the red carpet. As an actor, producer, and now a mother, Alia is balancing many roles — and doing it all with style. Her debut at Cannes showed the world she’s more than just a star; she’s a true global icon. And if this moment is any sign, her international journey has only just begun.
