Alia Bhatt captivated onlookers at the closing ceremony of the 78th Annual Cannes Film Festival on May 24, 2025, with a history-making red carpet moment. The Bollywood star turned heads by donning Gucci’s first-ever bespoke saree—a striking synthesis of traditional Indian attire and modern high-fashion innovation. The look was a meticulous three-piece creation featuring a sleeveless, backless blouse with a daring plunging neckline and a voluminous floor-grazing drape reminiscent of the classic saree style. Exquisitely adorned with silver sequins and Swarovski crystals that played with Gucci’s iconic monogram, the ensemble shimmered under the Cannes lights, transforming each step into a graceful celebration of heritage and contemporary design.
