Alia Bhatt has channelled her inner princess in a frilled gown as she made her first appearance at Cannes 2026. The actress was styled by Rhea Kapoor as she represented India on the global stage. The actress was recently seen pulling off capri pants with heels for her airport OOTD as she left for France from Mumbai.
Alia Bhatt's first photos from Cannes out
Alia looked elegant in a flowy gown by designer Yash Patil featuring delicate hand-painted detailing in soft green and pastel tones. The gown is hand-painted by artist Basuri Chokshi, who made the French river on her outfit.
The dress had thin straps, a structured corset-style bodice, and a voluminous skirt that she held out on both sides, adding a dramatic princess-like feel to the shot.
