Alia Bhatt made a dazzling debut at the Cannes Film Festival this year, turning heads and commanding attention in a breathtaking Schiaparelli ensemble. Representing India as a L’Oréal brand ambassador, Bhatt graced the prestigious red carpet with effortless elegance, firmly establishing her place among the global style elite.
Her gown, a sculptural masterpiece from Schiaparelli’s Spring/Summer 2025 haute couture collection, was designed by Daniel Roseberry and is part of the Maison’s striking ‘Icarus’ line. The theme, inspired by bold ambition and fearless artistry, couldn’t have been more fitting for Bhatt’s highly anticipated first appearance at Cannes.
Styled by the ever-reliable Rhea Kapoor, Bhatt opted for a minimalist approach that let the gown take center stage. The structured silhouette, rich textures, and dramatic contours of the outfit gave the look a celestial edge, while her subtle hair styling and pared-back jewellery choices added a modern, refined touch. 
Makeup played a key role in tying the look together—bold, defined eyes and a flawless base highlighted Bhatt’s features without overshadowing the ensemble. The overall aesthetic was one of quiet power and confident poise, setting her apart from the sea of glamorous but conventional looks on display.
In one of the most talked-about appearances of the season, Alia Bhatt proved that risks, when taken with grace and precision, can indeed pay off.
