Cannes: Revisiting some of the best red carpet outfits worn by Indian celebrities

Over the years, many Indian film stars like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Nimrat Kaur, Sonam Kapoor, Malaika Sherawat, Amisha Patel, Vidya Balan, Irrfan Khan, Nandita Das and many more have attended the prestigious and celebrated Cannes Film Festival, but not all have made a memorable statement on the red carpet which witnesses iconic looks. With stars now all set to make an appearance at the 75th Cannes Film Festival, let's revisit some of the most statement looks by Indian actors on the film festival red carpet.

A day after wowing everyone with her elegant vintage look in a black Elie Saab at the 67th Cannes Film Festival, Sonam Kapoor turned a desi belle in a pale pink Anamika Khanna couture net sari dress. She left her hair open this time and no earrings. (Source: Instagram)

Sonam Kapoor decided to go traditional at the screening of The Great Gatsby during Cannes 2013. She opted for a lace sari by Anamika Khanna which was styled with an embroidered jacket and the gorgeous nathni which is so far one of her best Cannes red carpet looks. (File photo)

In 2016, Sonam was styled by Rhea Kapoor, in a Ralph & Russo sari-inspired dress. She kept the accessories to a bare minimum — stud earrings and white-rock ring. For make-up, the white highlights at the edges of the kohled-eyes accentuated the drama of the overall look, a simple nude pink lip colour acted as a balance, and the no-nonsense straight hair gave her an aura of elegant sophistication.
