Whether she was channeling Bridgerton energy, serving old-Hollywood romance or embracing desi sophistication, one thing became clear Cannes 2026 belonged to Alia Bhatt.
A Vintage Princess Moment in Tarun Tahiliani Couture
For what appeared to be her final Cannes appearance, Alia Bhatt stepped out in a breathtaking custom couture creation by Tarun Tahiliani and the internet instantly declared it one of her best looks ever.
The off-shoulder red gown featured intricate hand-painted floral embroidery inspired by historical chintz textile artistry. Burgundy and muted ivory floral detailing spread across the ensemble, giving it a dramatic vintage painting aesthetic. The structured corset bodice beautifully accentuated Alia’s waist before flowing into a soft mermaid-style silhouette.
The look perfectly balanced Victorian-era drama with modern desi glamour.
Styled with a statement diamond choker, sleek pulled-back bun and glowing soft makeup, Alia looked regal yet effortless. Fans especially loved how the craftsmanship remained the hero of the entire styling.
The actress wore the couture ensemble for an exclusive dinner celebrating Hollywood legend Jane Fonda and Chinese icon Gong Li, attended by global ambassadors of L’Oréal Paris.
Social media users immediately compared her vibe to a vintage princess straight out of a period drama, while others called it “Bridgerton meets Bollywood royalty.”

The Ivory-Peach Saree That Brought Pure Indian Elegance to Cannes
If there was one look that truly celebrated Indian heritage, it was Alia Bhatt’s ivory-peach saree ensemble at the India Pavilion inauguration event.
The actress embraced a softer, more traditional aesthetic in a graceful saree featuring delicate peach tones paired with a modern coat-style blouse. Styled minimally yet elegantly, the look instantly stood out amid the heavily western couture seen at Cannes.
What elevated the appearance even further were the small styling details — a classic bindi, nose ring, subtle hand jewellery and a beautiful hathphool that added old-world charm.
Fans across social media praised the actress for representing Indian fashion with sophistication rather than excess glamour. Many even compared the aesthetic to her iconic role in Gangubai Kathiawadi because of the royal Indian touch.
One of the most viral elements of the appearance, however, was her vintage umbrella. The old-fashioned parasol added dramatic retro charm and made the entire look feel straight out of a timeless painting.
The internet quickly declared her the “Rani of Cannes.”

A Dreamy Ice-Blue Fairytale on the Red Carpet
For her second red carpet appearance, Alia Bhatt leaned fully into soft couture fantasy in a dreamy icy-blue gown by Danielle Frankel.
The gown featured a fitted textured bodice paired with a flowing pleated tulle skirt that looked almost weightless under the Cannes lights. The subtle detailing gave the ensemble depth without taking away from its airy romantic aesthetic.
The standout detail was undoubtedly the delicate lace choker featuring floral lacework and a teardrop diamond pendant. Instead of relying on heavy jewellery, Alia allowed the choker to become the statement piece of the entire styling.
With softly tied-back hair, loose face-framing strands and luminous minimal makeup, the actress looked ethereal.
Fans online compared the entire appearance to Cinderella, with many calling it one of the softest and prettiest couture moments of Cannes 2026.

Seafoam Green Couture & Ultimate Cinderella Energy
Alia Bhatt’s first appearance at Cannes 2026 introduced audiences to what would become her signature festival aesthetic romantic, artistic and feminine.
The actress wore a dreamy seafoam green couture creation designed by Yash Patil. The look featured a sculpted corseted bodice paired with a voluminous layered skirt crafted from ombré-dyed silk organza and tulle.
The gown became even more special because of its hand-painted artwork by artist Basuri Chokshi, inspired by the enchanting French Riviera. Lavender fields, dreamy landscapes and painterly brushstrokes transformed the outfit into wearable art.
Styled by Rhea Kapoor, Alia completed the look with side-swept hair in a loose bun, soft rosy makeup, yellow diamond jewellery by Chopard and elegant Manolo Blahnik heels.
The entire look gave major fairytale princess energy, with social media calling it “real-life Cinderella fashion.”
