6 most daring looks we witnessed at Cannes Film Festival 2025: From Urvashi Rautela to Ruchi Gujjar
The 11 days of the Cannes Film Festival are finally over, and in these amazing days, all we did was crush over our celebrities. Both Indian and international stars graced the red carpet, each making a fashion statement, taking it one step further. However, along with the mesmerizing looks, we also witnessed some of the most out-of-the-box ensembles that created the buzz among the audience. And in this article, we've got 7 of the weirdest and most daring Cannes looks, so let's dive into it!
1. Urvashi Rautela
Going overboard with her look, Urvashi Rautela showed up at the red carpet in a vibrant multi-colored outfit having shades of blue, green, white, black, and more. It had a strapless design with the structured neckline—the peplum design cinched her waist and formed a body-hugging silhouette. The blue, black and white sheer fabric tulle on either side added a couture touch.
The quirkiest highlight of her look was that she carried a parrot-shaped bag in her arms that cost Rs 4,67,895. And for beauty, she chose a tacky, bold makeup.
2. Ruchi Gujjar
The other celebrity to don one of the unexpected looks for the red carpet was Ruchi Gujjar, who literally added PM Narendra Modi's face dangler in the embellished necklace. For the outfit, she went for the whole Rajasthani look with the cream-colored lehenga, having a plunging neckline blouse, mirror work ghaghra, and dupatta on her head. Also for the additional traditional vibe, she wore choodabaju that complemented her look.
3. Isabella Menin
Isabella Menin totally left everyone stunned with a silver outfit inspired by the spiral seashell from Lena Erziak. It was a piece of art with the oversized spiral detailing on one side of the bodycon couture dress, cascading into a long fabric trailing behind, screaming drama and attention. With the minimal accessories and hair tied in a bun, letting all our focus on her outfit with the oversized detailing almost reaching her face.
4. Farhana Bodi
Farhana Bodi brought the most daring and difficult-to-carry look to Cannes. She was in a fully embellished pink gown with a body-hugging silhouette, featuring a massive outer layer at the back spreading out like a flower. Another highlight was the sharp petal rising up from the dress. She completed her look with dangler earrings and a bun hairstyle.
5. Elisa de Panicis Agnelli
Elisa de Panicis Agnelli makes a bold and quirky fashion statement in a sultry cut-out outfit. It had a strapless design with a dramatic floor-length train and a thin strap around the neck. But what stood out the most was that it was covered in bold black prints with different words written on it. Her ensemble also featured a massive watch at the front. With no accessories, she let the makeup be subtle and left her hair open.
6. Mitchell Akat Maruko Raan
Mitchell Akat Maruko Raan rocking the animal print outfit at the global stage was definitely something we didn't see coming. It had a top with a turtleneck, full sleeves, and a bodycon fit. The edge of the top was asymmetrical, adding a bold edge. She paired it with the matching printed bottom. In this outfit, the eye-catching detail was the 3D tiger, popping out from one side. It indeed blew our minds off.
This year's Cannes Film Festival was full of surprises, and these 6 celebrities made their appearance memorable with quirky and never-seen-before looks!

‘Simple rakha hai sab kuch, ghar mein studio-shooting ka feel nahi chahiye': Inside Johnny Lever's sea-facing home in Mumbai
For decades, Johnny Lever has been the heartbeat of Indian comedy — a master of mimicry, physical comedy, and unscripted joy. But away from the stage and screen, his home reveals a quieter, more soulful version of the man who has made India laugh. Tucked into Mumbai's Lokhandwala, Johnny's duplex home is not about opulence, but emotion — a space built with intention, rooted in family, and rich in memory. 'Mera favourite jagah? Yeh hi hai actually… yeh hall,' he shares with a smile, seated comfortably in his living room. 'Yahan main aata hoon, mera homework karta hoon, main filmein dekhta hoon, videos dekhta hoon… ek khazana hai na, sab kuch milta hai yahan.' This hall isn't just a room — it's his sanctuary for watching films, rehearsing, and often simply sitting in stillness with his thoughts. The walls of the house are alive with stories — like the 1983 engagement photograph he points to, captured just after his father arranged his marriage. 'Mainne toh chehra bhi nahi dekha tha… bas shaadi ho gayi.' It's not said with regret, but with a rare kind of affection — his bond with his wife, who designed the house interiors herself, is visible in the care and simplicity of every corner. Their home is built on two levels — the upper one designed for their children, the lower one for larger gatherings. 'Simple rakha hai sab kuch… ghar mein studio-shooting ka feel nahi chahiye. Ghar toh ghar hona chahiye,' he explains. 'Hamari family bohot badi hai. Sab jab aate hain toh neeche bhi party hoti hai, upar bhi hoti hai. Prayers hoti hain, prayer meetings hoti hain.' Though now a celebrated star with a long list of accolades — including a Filmfare Award for 'Deewana Mastana', which he proudly displays — Johnny speaks with profound humility about his beginnings. 'Pehla ghar Dharavi mein tha, chawl thi. Uske baad slums mein aaye… jhopadpatti abhi bhi hai. Mera jhopda abhi bhi hai wahan.' He still visits. 'Kisi ki shaadi hai, function hai… log aate hain, hum jaate hain.' The journey from chawls to a Lokhandwala duplex was not just financial but deeply emotional. '1990 mein yeh ghar liya, duplex… teen bedroom hall, upar ek aur teen bedroom hall. Pehle upar wala flat 20 lakh mein liya tha… phir neeche wala 4 crore mein.' He laughs gently, '20 times badh gaya price!' Even his neighbours reflect his place in Bollywood's beating heart: 'Sridevi ji ka bhi yahan flat tha.' Every part of his home is touched by thought — a quote in the house that reads 'By wisdom a house is built…' holds special meaning for him. 'Buddhimatta se ghar banta hai, understanding se establish hota hai… aur knowledge se ghar bhara rehta hai.' Even in his 60s, Johnny's passion for performance remains unshaken. 'Roz practice karta hoon, roz. Chhe saat ghante baithta hoon… alag alag cheezen dekhta rehta hoon.' His hall, he says, becomes his dance rehearsal space when joy overflows. 'Main jab bohot khush hota hoon… toh yahin baithta hoon, dance practice karta hoon.' And when he needs a moment of reflection? He opens his balcony door. 'Lokhandwala ka pura nazara… Mudland bhi dikhai deta hai. Roz walk pe jaata hoon.'
