What's the story
Bollywood star Alia Bhatt took the Cannes Film Festival by storm on Friday. For her debut appearance, she stunned in an off-shoulder Schiaparelli gown with a sweetheart neckline and floral detailing. The gown, which featured a corset style at the waist and mermaid detailing at the bottom, was from Daniel Roseberry's Spring 2025 couture collection.

The gorgeous Schiaparelli gown is from Roseberry's Spring collection titled 'Icarus'. "I think that, to me, it's always about challenging the expectations of what makes a memorable moment—because we've done the break-the-internet thing," Roseberry told Vogue. Bhatt's dewy makeup, pearl and diamond studs, and a diamond ring further heightened the gown's appeal.

Empowering women
Bhatt's appearance was dedicated to women filmmakers
Bhatt's presence at Cannes was dedicated to the L'Oreal Paris initiative launched in 2021 to honor promising female short filmmakers. The initiative is designed to pave the way for women in film to climb the ladder while tackling the industry's under-representation of women. On the work front, Bhatt is currently shooting for Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Love & War, co-starring Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal.
