From iconic couture statements and historic debuts to controversial beauty choices and meme-worthy fashion risks, these looks have dominated headlines and social media timelines equally. Whether celebrated for their elegance or criticised for going overboard, these 6 Cannes appearances prove that at the French Riviera, fashion fame often comes with equal parts admiration and internet chaos.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"> 1. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (2016): At the 2016 Cannes Film Festival, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan paired her viral purple lipstick with a stunning off-the-shoulder pastel pink gown by British designer Ali Younes. The delicate, floor-length dress was adorned with intricate gold embellishments, a sheer overlay, and a matching floor-sweeping cape, adding a regal element to the look. While the soft, romantic silhouette of the gown was highly praised, it was her bold choice of a bright lavender-lilac lip colour that stole the spotlight, sparking intense global debate and endless social media memes, and cementing the look as one of the most daring and talked-about beauty moments in Cannes history.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-3e17c5a1bcf2edd0 jsx-2841673937\">\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"> 2. Alia Bhatt (2024): At the closing ceremony of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, the \u201cRaazi&#8221; actress, Alia Bhatt, made a historic red-carpet appearance in a custom Gucci three-piece contemporary ensemble inspired by a traditional Indian sari. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, the nude-toned, skin-tinted outfit featured a fitted floor-length skirt, a matching plunge V-neckline bralette blouse, and a long, sweeping pallu drape that floated down the carpet. The entire silhouette was drenched in shimmery Swarovski crystals woven directly into a custom criss-cross pattern that proudly highlighted the fashion house\u2019s signature GG monogram. She completed the viral, culture-blending look with a classic Chopard diamond necklace, minimal makeup, kohl-rimmed eyes, and soft old-Hollywood waves.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"> 3. Nancy Tyagi (2024): The fashion influencer made history by walking the red carpet in a 20kg pink ruffled gown that she designed and stitched herself. This feat went viral globally as a symbol of creativity and determination. The gown featured a strapless sequinned bodice with matching elbow-length pink gloves, a dainty silver necklace from CaratLane, and dewy makeup. The floor-length, strapless gown utilised a staggering 1,000 metres of fabric, on which Tyagi worked rigorously for 30 consecutive days to cut, assemble, and stitch the couture garment from scratch.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"> 4. Mallika Sherawat (2010): At the 63rd Annual Cannes Film Festival in 2010, Mallika Sherawat staged an extreme publicity stunt during a photo call at the Salon Martha Barriere inside the Majestic Hotel. To promote her upcoming horror-adventure film Hisss, where she played an \u2018ichhadhaari nagin\u2019, she skipped high-fashion glamour for a casual Dolce &amp; Gabbana yellow and black strappy dress. She completed the look by wrapping three live snakes, including a massive 22-foot Burmese python named Rudy, around her body and neck. While Sherawat confidently smiled, posed, and even kissed the reptiles for the flashing cameras, fashion critics heavily slammed the ensemble. They deemed the look a major red-carpet disaster, arguing that the dress was far too informal for the prestigious festival and that the live animal theatrics crossed the line into desperate shock-value marketing.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div amp-access=\"WE_TVD\" class=\"jsx-3e17c5a1bcf2edd0 jsx-2841673937\">\n<div class=\"videocarousel_otr\" id=\"videocarousel_otr\">\n<div class=\"videowrp\"><span style=\"display:flex;justify-content:space-between\" class=\"jsx-d36bb880793f9976\"><\/p>\n<p>top videos<\/p>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"compvwmr\" id=\"top_videos_all_cp\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/amp\/videos\/\">View All <\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<li class=\"slide\" id=\"top_videos_cp0\">\n<p>Tamannaah Bhatia graces the airport in stunning ethnic glam, serving elegance with every step.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"slide\" id=\"top_videos_cp1\">\n<p>Ben Affleck &amp; Matt Damon Sued By South Florida Officers Claiming \u2018The Rip\u2019 Details Are Too Real;N18G<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"slide\" id=\"top_videos_cp2\">\n<p>Parineeti Chopra brings her bubbly charm to the airport with effortless style<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"slide\" id=\"top_videos_cp3\">\n<p>Sunny Deol touches down with full power mode on.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li class=\"slide\" id=\"top_videos_cp4\">\n<p>Esha Deol Gets Teary-Eyed Remembering Dharmendra At Her New Venture Launch | WATCH<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/amp\/videos\/\" class=\"jsx-d36bb880793f9976 vdobtn\">View all<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-3e17c5a1bcf2edd0 jsx-2841673937\">\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"> 5. Janhvi Kapoor (2025) For her highly anticipated red-carpet debut at the 78th Cannes Film Festival (2025), Janhvi Kapoor made a powerful fashion statement in a custom Tarun Tahiliani ensemble that effortlessly bridged traditional craftsmanship with contemporary silhouette styling. Styled by Rhea Kapoor to represent \u201cModern India at the French Riviera&#8221;, the pastel, rose-gold-tinted outfit featured a structured, flawlessly-boned corset paired with a voluminous, hand-crushed, real tissue skirt specially woven in Benaras. To preserve the authenticity of the weave, the design retained a raw, uncut hem, while a sculptural, fluid drape extended gracefully over her shoulder and attached to a sleek bun wrapped in a delicate veil. Accessorised with layers of pearl and diamond necklaces from Chopard\u2019s Haute Joaillerie collection and finished with dreamy, rose-toned makeup, the regal look drew widespread internet acclaim for its timeless elegance, with many fans noting it served as a beautiful, nostalgic tribute to the grace of her late mother, Sridevi.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article_embeddedimg\">\n<div class=\"inner\"> 6. Urvashi Rautela (2025): For her first appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival screening of Partir un Jour, Urvashi Rautela wore a strapless Michael Cinco custom gown featuring heavy, mosaic-inspired patterns in loud primary shades of blue, red, and yellow. The internet relentlessly mocked her beauty choices, calling her over-the-top purple shimmering eyeshadow and rhinestone eye stickers a tacky, outdated makeup disaster that ruined the look. Adding to the fashion backlash, she accessorised with a crystal-embedded Judith Leiber parrot-shaped clutch valued at over \u20b94.6 lakh, which quickly went viral for all the wrong reasons. Social media users and fashion watchdogs like Diet Sabya brutally slammed the bird-shaped accessory, generating memes that compared her aesthetic to a \u201cMoulin Rouge meets Mayur Vihar&#8221; parody, a theatrical magician, or a circus performer.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/amp\/photogallery\/movies\/bollywood\/cannes-film-festival-2026-aishwarya-rai-bachchan-alia-bhatt-kalyani-priyadarshan-among-indian-stars-expected-ws-l-10084990.html\" id=\"prev_click\" class=\"jsx-3e17c5a1bcf2edd0 jsx-2841673937 nxtstory prv\"\/><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/amp\/viral\/where-is-aishwarya-rai-bachchan-fans-question-loreal-paris-as-brand-unveils-cannes-facade-without-the-legend-10086028.html\" id=\"next_click\" class=\"jsx-3e17c5a1bcf2edd0 jsx-2841673937 nxtstory\"\/><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-3e17c5a1bcf2edd0 jsx-2841673937 brdcrmb\"><a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a> <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/viral\/\">viral<\/a> <span class=\"brdout\"> From Purple Lips To Parrot Clutches: The Most Viral Cannes Looks By Indian Celebrities<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><em> \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n<p><em> \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.news18.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Updated:May 12, 2026, 15:19 IST From Aishwarya Rai Bachchan to Urvashi Rautela, these are the most viral Indian celebrity looks from the global film festival Every year, the Cannes Film Festival transforms into a global fashion spectacle, and Indian celebrities have consistently delivered some of the red carpet\u2019s most unforgettable moments.
