After a magical Cannes red carpet debut, Alia Bhatt stepped onto the world’s most celebrated red carpet for the second time. Alia radiated confidence and elegance in an ensemble from the House of Gucci.
Gucci welcomed Alia Bhatt as the first Indian Global Ambassador for the House in 2023, and it was only fitting that Alia celebrated the brand at the 78th Cannes Film Festival.
Alia graced the 78th Cannes Film Festival in a custom saree designed by Gucci, featuring a bralette, skirt and a drape. The contemporary silhouette featured the brand’s GG monogram embedded into the criss-cross pattern of the unique saree.
A modern celebration of the six-yards of sheer elegance, Alia’s take on the saree was a celebration of India modern and we love that she chose to celebrate the silhouette on the iconic Cannes red carpet.

The three-piece Gucci ensemble was accessorised with a colourful printed scarf and statement sunglasses. Did Alia Bhatt channel Jackie Kennedy’s signature style in this vibrant Gucci look?
Decoding Alia Bhatt’s on and off red carpet moments, styled by Rhea Kapoor:
Look 1: Schiaparelli Haute Couture
Adding a romantic and refined touch to her debut, Alia Bhatt chose an ethereal, long off-shoulder bustier gown by Schiaparelli, crafted in ecru Chantilly lace and intricately embroidered with organza and enamel flowers. The hem was adorned with delicate ruffles in ivory mousseline, crêpelin, organza, and tulle, lending the look a soft, dreamlike finish. Inspired by the delicate architecture of corsetry and the elegance of structured silhouettes, the ensemble perfectly reflected the grace and poise of her first Cannes appearance, truly marking it as her time to shine.
