Princess of the Riviera: Alia Bhatt Channels Ethereal Glamour in Second Cannes Appearance

Cannes, France — May 12, 2026

The wait is finally over for fashion enthusiasts as the 79th Cannes Film Festival officially kicks off, and India’s global sweetheart, Alia Bhatt, has already stolen the spotlight. Marking her second consecutive year at the prestigious festival, Alia was spotted making her way to the red carpet in an ensemble that can only be described as a "modern-day fairytale."

A video capturing the actress walking with her team has quickly gone viral on social media, (Check out the video below) giving fans a first look at her stunning choice for day one. Dressed in a dreamy mint-green ball gown, Alia looked every bit the cinematic princess as she glided through the French Riviera sunshine.

The Look: A Hand-Painted Masterpiece

Unlike the dramatic, sharp tailoring of her airport arrival earlier this week, Alia’s first major festival look leaned into soft, romantic aesthetics. The gown, designed by Yash Patil, featured a structured corset-style bodice with delicate spaghetti straps and a plunging neckline, perfectly balancing boldness with grace.

What truly set the outfit apart was the intricate hand-painted detail by artist Basuri Chokshi. The voluminous skirt was adorned with pastel-hued floral and leaf motifs, drawing inspiration from the serene landscape of the French Riviera itself.

To keep the focus on the "wearable art," Alia and her stylist, Rhea Kapoor, opted for a minimalist approach:
  • Jewellery: Simple yet sparkling diamond studs from Chopard.
  • Footwear: Clean, neutral Manolo Blahnik mules.
  • Beauty: A sleek, side-parted low bun paired with her signature "dewy" makeup—rosy cheeks, glowing skin, and a soft nude-pink lip.
Second Time’s a Charm

After her successful debut in 2024, Alia’s return as a global ambassador for L’Oréal Paris has been met with immense anticipation. Fans have flooded social media with praise, comparing her look to a "live-action Cinderella."

While her airport monochrome look signaled her "boss lady" era, this red carpet walk proves Alia’s versatility. She seems to be embracing the "quiet luxury" of the Riviera while still delivering the high-fashion drama that the Cannes steps demand.

A Busy Year for the Star

Between being the face of global luxury brands and filming her highly anticipated spy thriller Alpha, Alia's presence at Cannes further cements her status as one of the most influential Indian actors on the world stage.

As the festival continues, all eyes remain on the Palais des Festivals. If her first "frock" moment is anything to go by, Alia is set to dominate the fashion headlines for the next fortnight.

An Interview With Salman Khan

Salman upset about Being Human Fakes ...Don’t buy ‘Being Human’ stuff: Salman On a pleasant winter noon in Mumbai, I get ru-ba-ru with the hot Salman Khan. Its one of the beautiful days when Salman decides to not live by his larger than life star image but play a simple being instead. Sitting in his turf, surrounded by lovely sister Alvira, gorgeous sister-in-law Malaika, and their cute-naughty-hyperactive kids, Salman Khan seems a happy man. He’s known to keep aloof when media is around, but today is different. The dude doesn’t seem to care about the world and resolves to have a great time, cycling with his nephews and playing with his dog - a 2 month old French Mastiff, whom he lovingly calls Veer. Salman finally takes a break from all the running around and soon after its time for lunch. Yummilicious aroma of home-cooked food fills the air as the tiffins and casseroles are opened one by one. Salman gestures me to come and grab a bite and that’s when we get talking over some deliciou...

The Mauryan Multiverse: Who Will Join Ranveer Singh in Aditya Dhar’s 1000-Crore Epic? Check  who could be the other caste members for the movie on Chandragupta Maurya.
