‘Gucci goes desi’: Alia Bhatt stuns in brand’s first-ever saree at Cannes 2025 closing ceremony

Alia Bhatt stuns in saree at Cannes closing ceremony

For the closing ceremony, Alia Bhatt was joined by celebrities like Halle Berry, Payal Kapadia, Jeremy Strong and Dieudo Hamadi, among others. The Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani star chose a lehenga-style drape from the Italian luxury house that took a bold step in blending Indian tradition with their signature style for the final look. Unlike a traditional saree, the outfit didn’t have any pleats and was drenched in small Swarovski crystals stitched to the side and centre. She paired the look with a matching deep-neck blouse and a figure-hugging skirt in a nude hue. The matching dupatta, draped over her shoulder, was spread to the side, adding drama. Unlike her previous two looks, this time her makeup was bolder, with winged eyeliner, dewy cheeks, and a nude lip. She sealed the look with a Chopard diamond necklace and let her hair flow freely.

Earlier in the day, Alia Bhatt showcased some major vintage glamour in a mustard yellow Gucci outfit, slaying French fashion with an old Hollywood vibe. She dropped a string of photos on her Instagram handle, captioning the mood with emojis. To complete the look, Alia added a matching cropped jacket, floral printed silk scarf and a pair of sunglasses. For the day, she opted for yet another minimal makeup look styled by Rhea Kapoor.

In between her two big Cannes Red Carpet appearances, Alia also attended a L’Oréal event as their brand ambassador, honouring the women’s voice initiative. She wore a strapless black strapless gown by Armani Privé, with a bejewelled neckline and matching headpiece. Her hair pulled back, with no accessories and just a diamond ring, it was elegant and clean.

After keeping her Cannes arrival a secret until the last moment, Alia Bhatt stunned in a mermaid-style gown from Schiaparelli’s Spring 2025 Couture collection on May 23. The off-shoulder dress featured a sweetheart neckline, intricate floral detailing, and a corset-style bodice. She kept her makeup soft and her hair pulled back in a neat bun, accessorising only with pearl earrings and a diamond ring.
