Alia Bhatt Takes Over Cannes With Couture In Gucci's First-Ever Saree, Dreamy Schiaparelli Gown And More

Alia Bhatt made a fashionable splash at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, and though she arrived during the final days, her sartorial choices made it clear—she was just getting started. Representing India with effortless grace and global glamour, the Bollywood star walked the iconic red steps in not one but four jaw-dropping couture looks, each one a bold expression of couture and star power.

Let’s take a closer look at all the standout outfits Alia wore during her dazzling Cannes 2025 journey:

Dreamy debut in Schiaparelli Gown

For her much-awaited red carpet debut, Alia turned to the Parisian haute couture label Schiaparelli, stepping into the spotlight in a surreal white creation from the brand's Spring/Summer 2025 couture collection. The off-shoulder gown sculpted her silhouette with an ivory Chantilly lace base, intricately adorned with organza and enamel floral embroidery. The highlight of her ensemble was a dramatic, ruffled train made from layers of mousseline, tulle, organza, and crepeline that cascaded behind her like a soft cloud.

Alia skipped elaborate jewellery and wore just pearl studs, letting the gown speak for itself. Her makeup was minimal and fresh with glowing skin, nude lips, and softly defined eyes, while her hair was styled in a sleek bun.

Midnight beauty in Giorgio Armani Privé creation

Alia’s second appearance was a shimmering statement at the Lights on Women’s Worth event hosted by L’Oréal Paris. Dressed in Giorgio Armani Privé, she embodied elegance in a navy blue off-shoulder gown drenched in twinkling crystals. The gown featured subtle ombré sparkle with sapphire and silver accents glinting along the neckline and hemline.

Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Alia paired the look with blue-toned gemstone earrings, a matching ring, and a stunning headpiece that crowned her softly styled hair. Her makeup followed a similar minimalist vibe with dewy skin, nude tones, soft blush and glossy lips.

Retro princess in Gucci summer suit

Alia brought sunshine to the picturesque French Riviera in a retro-inspired Gucci look. She donned a vibrant canary yellow three-piece ensemble that included a sweetheart neckline bustier, a cropped logo-embroidered blazer with padded shoulders, and a sleek pencil skirt. The ensemble was completed with a printed floral headscarf that added a playful retro vibe.

Accessories included white Gucci kitten heels, a matching mini bag, yellow diamond Chopard earrings, and oversized sunglasses. Alia's glam was equally striking with flushed cheeks, fluttery lashes, a bold red lip, and a perfectly coiffed hairdo with a curled tendril framing her face.

Debuts Gucci's first-ever saree

Saving the most iconic for last, Alia closed out her Cannes journey with a show-stopping look that blended Indian heritage with global fashion innovation: a Gucci saree. Yes, the actor and Gucci ambassador walked the red carpet in the fashion house’s first-ever saree, specially designed for the occasion.

The no-pleat saree was a modern take on the classic six-yard, shimmering with Swarovski embellishments and embossed with Gucci’s monogram motif. Paired with a daring plunging neckline blouse and a delicate diamond necklace, Alia’s look was a nod to tradition wrapped in contemporary flair. She rounded off her glam with her signature dewy makeup and soft waves.
