At the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Alia Bhatt turned heads and made fashion history—gracing the red carpet in Gucci’s first-ever saree, a dazzling creation that blended Indian tradition with global couture flair. The moment was not just about fashion, but a cultural statement. In doing so, Alia became the bridge between two worlds—elegantly rooted in heritage while standing tall on the global style stage.

The bespoke saree, designed exclusively for Alia by Gucci’s new creative director, was a masterstroke of craftsmanship. Adorned with thousands of Swarovski crystals, the sheer drape shimmered under the Cannes sun, creating a dreamy, ethereal silhouette. Styled with a structured blouse and minimal accessories, Alia let the saree speak for itself—timeless, graceful, and unapologetically Indian.

Her makeup was soft and radiant, with flushed cheeks and rose-tinted lips, while her hair was styled in soft waves with a touch of old-world charm. She wore statement diamond choker that echoed the sparkle of her ensemble but kept the look effortless, allowing the saree’s artistry to shine.

What made this appearance even more significant was the fact that it was Gucci’s first saree ever—a bold step in embracing global inclusivity in high fashion. Alia, who was announced as the brand’s global ambassador in 2023, wore the honour with poise. Her look instantly drew praise across the globe—from fashion critics to fans—her walk wasn’t just down the red carpet, but into fashion history.

Speaking about her look, Alia said, “Wearing a saree at Cannes was always a dream. That Gucci chose to create their first one for me is truly special. It’s more than an outfit—it’s a tribute to where I come from.”

With this powerful fashion moment, Alia Bhatt not only dazzled at Cannes—she solidified her place as an icon redefining global fashion, one graceful drape at a time.
