Bollywood star Jacqueline Fernandez made a stunning return to the Cannes red carpet this year, marking her second appearance at the prestigious film festival. The actor, known for her fashion-forward choices, opted for a striking all-white look designed by Anamika Khanna’s AK|OK label—steering clear of conventional red carpet gowns for a more artistic, avant-garde ensemble.
Fernandez was attending a special panel titled “Women in Cinema”, hosted by Deadline and Red Sea Film Foundation. Taking to Instagram, she shared snapshots from her day, writing: “Power-packed panel of ‘Women in Cinema’. We discussed our moments of challenges, joy and dreams together. It’s amazing how cinema can unite us all.” The carousel of images included candid moments from the panel, leisurely walks through the streets of France, and sun-drenched shots from her balcony.
For her Day 2 appearance at Cannes 2025, Jacqueline chose a white shirt dress featuring dramatic billowy sleeves and an oversized collar. The undone cuffs gave the look an effortless edge, striking a balance between high fashion and relaxed elegance. 
The real showstopper, however, was the upcycled silver set she wore over the dress—a handcrafted top and skirt ensemble created from old chains and heirloom silver. Produced by master artisans in Kolkata, the look celebrated India’s tribal heritage through a contemporary lens, merging sustainability with storytelling.
Jacqueline completed her look with black stilettos and kept her accessories minimal yet impactful: silver dangler earrings, a gold wristwatch, and a wrap-around silver bracelet that mirrored the artisanal narrative of her outfit. Her beauty look was fresh and minimal—defined eyes, soft blush, and a sleek braid that tied the entire ensemble together with understated elegance.
