‘You were worth the wait,' say fans as Alia Bhatt lights up Cannes in Schiaparelli; hawk-eyed netizens spot ‘nazar ka tika' behind her ear
After days of speculation amid rising geo-political tensions, Alia Bhatt put doubts surrounding her attendance at rest by finally making her Cannes Film Festival debut last night. Bhatt attended the closing ceremony in custom Schiaparelli haute couture. The ensemble featured a corseted bodice, a cinched waist and intricate white floral embroidered detailing along the expanse of the fabric. A layered tulle train added a touch of drama to her look.
Bhatt kept the rest of her look neat with a slick back updo, and curled tendrils gelled to her forehead. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, she opted for pearl studs from Birdhichand Jewellers, a peachy eyeshadow and blushed cheeks, pairing the outfit with custom heels from Rene Caovilla.
Speaking at media interactions, she said, 'There's something absolutely special about firsts — and I'm so excited to make my Festival de Cannes debut this year, an iconic celebration of cinema and self-expression. It is such an honour to represent L'Oréal Paris at the Festival with this year's theme, 'Lights, Beauty and Action.' To me, beauty is about celebrating individuality, confidence and self-worth. It's limitless, it's unique. I'm proud to stand with a brand that celebrates every woman's journey and empowers them to shine in their own light.'
Setting the Internet abuzz, Bhatt walked the carpet with the confidence of a seasoned Cannes attendee. Fans poured their love in the comments underneath videos and posts. While one user said, 'Stayed up so that I could watch these pictures as soon as you post, you look gorgeous. You were worth the wait!🔥❤️,' another wrote, 'How can someone look so gorgeous without any effort.. Ur totally worth it.'
Hawk-eyed netizens even spotted a kaala tika behind Bhatt's ear, popularly considered a symbol to ward off evil and negative energy in Hindu custom.
For her second red carpet appearance, the Raazi actor slipped into a sculpted black Armani Privé gown to attend the L'Oréal Lights On Women Award ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival.
A bejewelled hairnet and matching dark blue sapphire drop earrings and ring completed her red carpet glam. Bhatt's signature soft glam, nude lips and feathered brows kept the palate clean and let the outfit do all the talking.
Alia's look was dedicated to the L'Oréal Paris initiative that started back in 2021 to honour promising female short filmmakers as part of their annual award event that takes place in the French Riviera every year. According to the website, 'The award attempts to create a path for women in film to advance their careers while also addressing the industry's under-representation of women.'
While some fans were absolutely floored by her appearances at the French Riviera, calling her the 'Principal of the university off SERVING LOOKS,' others critiqued her signature bare faced look: 'Alia looks stunning but she should really ditch the clean girl look sometimes..a bold lip for this look would've been stunning,' said an Instagram user.
We can't wait to see what the Bollywood diva has in store for future red carpet moments.

Stefon Diggs and Cardi B's romance triggers shady comment from Offset
Offset has seemingly responded to the buzz surrounding his estranged wife, Cardi B, and her rumored new romance with NFL star Stefon Diggs. Following the couple's Instagram debut over the weekend, where Cardi posted a twerking video, Offset's response was anything but subtle in the now-deleted comment. Also Read: Stefon Diggs sends two-word message to Cardi B amid boat video controversy Offset wrote in his now deleted comment under Cardi B's post with Diggs, 'good roll out on PR,' as reported by Page Six. According to the screenshots going viral on the Internet, he also shared a video via X, which showed a man throwing a basketball out of frame and read, 'Today I'll pass.' Cardi B ended her relationship with Offset — real name Kiari Kendrell Cephus — last summer while pregnant with their third child. Their daughter, Blossom, was born in September 2024, joining older siblings Kulture and Wave. Over the weekend, the WAP singer took to Twitter with scathing accusations, claiming Offset 'left [her] with the kids' bills' for a year and has only seen their youngest 'like, five times' since filing for spousal support.

Cardi B and Diggs have been sparking romance rumors since October 2024, just months after the rapper filed for divorce from Offset. The New England Patriots wide receiver and the Grammy winner made things official last month with a PDA-filled date night at an NBA game, confirming their budding relationship in the public eye. Last month, the couple made headlines again after partying on a boat, where Stefon Diggs was caught on video handing out a mysterious pink substance to women onboard—clips that quickly went viral. Cardi later shared more behind-the-scenes moments from their wild outing in an Instagram slideshow posted on Sunday.
