Uorfi Javed certainly knows how to turn heads; whether it is with her bold fashion choices or her unapologetic personality, she consistently stays in the spotlight. The all-round entertainer never fails to capture public attention. Moreover, every year, her fans eagerly await her debut on the Cannes red carpet. However, she missed the opportunity once again this year since her visa application was reportedly rejected.
Disheartened, Javed shared an emotional post about the same on her Instagram on Wednesday. In the post, she shared that her team was working on 'crazy' outfit ideas for her debut at Cannes 2025. Not only this, but she also addressed why she was absent from social media for quite some time.
She went on to highlight that she was missing due to her failed business and rejections.
Uorfi Javed misses the opportunity to appear at Cannes 2025 again
The 27-year-old social media influencer in her post clarified that she wasn't uploading anything or being seen anywhere because she was going through a phase.
She wrote, "My business didn't work, I tried a bunch of other different things only to face rejections." She also mentioned the point that she got an opportunity to go to Cannes via Inde Wild, but as the fate would have it, her visa got rejected.
"Was working on a few crazy outfit ideas; my team and I were very disheartened. I'm sure a lot of you guys must be going through rejections yourselves, and I would love to know your stories," she added.
Redditors believe Uorfi Javed was more deserving than Sarah Sarosh
Uorfi Javed's absence from the Cannes 2025 red carpet has now stirred a buzz online, with fans and netizens expressing their disappointment over her missed debut.
As soon as the news broke that her visa got rejected, social media quickly lit up with reactions. Meanwhile, a Reddit thread regarding the same garnered massive reactions; some supported Uorfi and called her a true fashion risk-taker.
While, according to some, she would have added a much-needed flair to the event, and others compared her to other influencers, Sarah Sarosh, who attended the event.
One said, "Honestly she was much deserving than sarah"
"I was here to comment on that. She is farrrrrrrr more deserving than any influecersss sakshi or Sarah . My blood is boiling," another noted.
"it is kind of sad, especially the rejection of visa part… the amount of times I have tried to explain this to people, the implication and the disadvantages of having a developing country passport, and yet everyone around me, especially the boomers seem to have graduated from WhatsApp University never seem to understand its implications… going to the Cannes would have been a really big deal in her career. That's sad."
"Urfi has grown on me. She could have shown her creativity on that platform. It's okay; I don't hate her. Maybe next time."

Justin Bieber's pics spark ‘drug addiction' debate, fans call him ‘train wreck,' ask, ‘Why is no one helping him?'
Justin Bieber's latest Instagram post featuring a series of bathroom selfies has sparked a serious debate online around 'drug addictions' as concerned fans call him a 'train wreck,' and wonder why no one is helping him. Justin has made two Instagram posts in the last 5 hours. The first one featured multiple pictures of himself, while the other had just two pictures – one with a blurred Hailey Bieber in the background, and the other a very close-up of Justin's face. 'U could point at my flaws, or u could recognise ur own lil b***h,' he wrote in a caption. Worried fans said they cannot recognise him anymore, 'Who is this person?' adding that 'it's like watching a train wreck and not being able to stop it.' 'Why is no one helping this man,' asked a fan. However, several netizens claimed that the posts expose the 'face of drug addiction,' and said that the 'Baby' hitmaker is 'slowly turning into the Britney Spears of our generation.' 'He's seriously struggling. It's looking like Liam Payne and Britney [Spears] someone needs to help him before it's too late,' added another social media user. 'The drugs are one why does everything look so dirty?' asked a user. Another suggested a rehab for the singer: 'Justin, baby, I think it's time for rehab.' This is not the first time the 'Stay' singer has been suspected of using drugs. He reportedly exhibited 'strange' behaviour at his wife Hailey Bieber's Rhode skin event, sparking speculations of drug use. However, in February, Justin's representative had slammed the 'harmful' rumours of drug use. Not much later, the Grammy winner was seen unapologetically flaunting marijuana. In a more recent Instagram post, Justin also publicly showed off his drug use as he shared a photo of himself smiling in an armchair while a massive bong sat in his lap. In a surprising confession, he admitted to copying Hailey Bieber's patented Rhode phone case — originally designed to hold her lip gloss — and repurposing it to carry marijuana instead. Even the people close to Justin Bieber have expressed their worry for his mental health amid rumours of financial turmoil. They told the Hollywood Reporter that they feared he was falling apart mentally. 'Seeing him disintegrate like this … it's watching the embodiment of someone not living their purpose,' a former team member told the outlet. 'He's lost,' he said, adding that 'there's no one protecting him because there's no one there willing to say no to him. You say no, you get blown out.'

Although she's miles from the Stanley Cup action, Lauren made it clear she's still cheering on her husband and the team. She posted a sleek Instagram Story showing Game 2 streaming on a laptop, with glasses of wine and the glowing city lights of Mykonos in the background. '@ a view with a view,' she captioned it, a nod both to the scenic skyline and the screen showing her team in action. Balancing tradition and team spirit This isn't the first time Lauren has missed playoff action during the Oilers' Cup run—she was also absent for Game 1. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?
