Did Alia Bhatt just walk the Cannes red carpet in a peach gown with a dupatta?
Alia Bhatt brought in a hearty dose of glamour to the opening ceremony of the 79th Cannes Film Festival. She did so with a desi touch - by adding a matching scarf... errr... a dupatta.
Alia Bhatt attended the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival 2026 on May 12 in a stunning peach gown.
The actor made a statement in a strapless ensemble paired with a matching ‘dupatta’ (yes, we are not calling it a Scandinavian scarf) draped around her shoulders. She opted for a figure-hugging monotone gown from Tamara Ralph, featuring a bold plunging cutout neckline.
Another striking element was her jewellery choice. A statement coral necklace embellished with diamonds added glamour to the look. Mind you, it was not just any other necklace but an exquisite piece featuring 168.27 carats of rare pink coral, a 5.53 carat Golconda Type 2A diamond, and 20 carats of finely set diamonds.
A Golconda Type IIa diamond is an extremely rare and ultra-pure natural diamond that originally came from the historic Golconda mines in India, famous for producing some of the world’s most legendary gems, like Koh-i-Noor. Type 2 A, meanwhile, means the diamond has almost no impurities, giving it exceptional clarity, brilliance, and value.
Her makeup, too, stayed elegant and minimal, with soft peach-pink accents, a hint of shimmer on the eyes and cheeks, and nude glossy lips.
Earlier today, the actor was photographed in Cannes dressed in a dreamy gown. She looked ready for a summer holiday in a corset-style ball gown hand-painted with a scenic landscape inspired by the French Riviera. The outfit was essentially an ode to the glamorous coastline that hosts this annual celebration of films and fashion.
In fact, her arrival in Cannes was equally stylish. She stepped out in an all-black outfit featuring a structured blazer with a figure-hugging silhouette and puffed sleeves, paired with capris.
The actor is attending the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival as a brand ambassador for the beauty label L'Oral Paris. As for the opening ceremony, it was marked with the screening of the film "La Venus Electrique" (The Electric Venus). Bhatt attended it.
The Cannes Film Festival, which began today, will conclude on May 23 and is expected to see several Indian celebrities and film personalities in attendance.
