Cannes 2026: Alia Bhatt’s dreamy sculpted silhouette serves grace at red carpet

CANNES: Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt stole the spotlight with her red carpet arrival in a sculpted corseted silhouette at the opening ceremony of Cannes Film Festival 2026.

On the opening day of the film festival, Alia Bhatt donned the fashion designer Tamara Ralph’s ensemble, which featured a sculpted corseted silhouette, plunging neckline, sweeping train, and a dreamy chiffon scarf trailing behind her.

The ‘Jigra’ actress complemented her outfit with the Golconda Rose jewellery, which is a celebration of Amrapali’s legacy and Jaipur’s timeless craftsmanship.

According to the press note, the Golconda Rose is a handcrafted white gold high jewellery creation featuring 168.27 carats of rare pink coral, a 5.53 carat Golconda Type 2A diamond, and 20 carats of finely set diamonds.

To elevate her look, Alia Bhatt chose Chopard’s earrings and rings for the day. The actress has arrived at the event to represent L’Oreal Paris.

Alia Bhatt took to her Instagram handle to share glimpses of her opening day look at the Cannes Film Festival. In one of the snaps, the actress was also seen greeting her fans and the photographers.

Before arriving on the red carpet, the actor stepped out in a dreamy couture ensemble that looked less like a gown and more like a moving watercolour painting.

Offering a much romantic and unmistakably cinematic vibe, Alia’s look perfectly captured the effortless elegance — something that Cannes has been known for.

Alia Bhatt chose a structured corset-style bodice gown with delicate spaghetti straps and a soft sweetheart neckline from the shelves of designer Yash Patil’s ‘That Antique Piece’.

In the shades of muted sage-green tones with intricate botanical embroidery, the outfit also carried a hand-painted homage to the Riviera, which seamlessly blended into the voluminous skirt below.

The actor went on to style the look with a minimalist approach, pairing the gown with a softly undone low bun, luminous skin, subtle makeup, and Chopard’s delicate jewellery that allowed the outfit to remain the focal point.

Neutral mules from Manolo Blahnik completed her look effortlessly. Alia took to her Instagram handle to share the snap from the evening.
