‘Ye colour meri mummy ka favourite hai': Nancy Tyagi returns to Cannes in dress that took her a month to create; see other Indian celebs too
The Cannes Film Festival is never just about films–but also the fashion. Indians have been making a strong impression throughout the festival this year.
Netizens' favourite influencer Nancy Tyagi returned to Cannes with the same spirit that won hearts last year — but this time, her silver gown felt even more ambitious. She made it herself, once again, and the details showed just how far she's come.

The gown had a shimmering corset, rose-shaped details along the skirt and back, and layers of tulle that floated as she walked. The bodice hugged her frame with structure and softness all at once, and the headpiece added a touch of theatre.
She followed it up with a second look — a mini dress in her mum's favourite colour. 'Ye colour meri mummy ka favourite hai, isliye iss baar decide kiya ki isi colour mein dress design karun,' Nancy shared on Instagram. 'Poora one month laga banane mein… dress kaafi heavy thi.' Despite the effort, she said it was all worth it.

Covered in pearls and fine panel work, the mini dress was delicate and modern — a beautiful contrast to the grandeur of her first look.

The Fabulous Lives Vs Bollywood Wives star brought a soft kind of glamour to Cannes in a pastel pink gown. The outfit, chosen from designers Fouad Sarkis and Ornelys Couture, featured a halter neckline and Swarovski crystal detailing. A gentle train followed her as she walked, and a feathered wrap added a bit of whimsy.
She styled it with a blush pink Judith Leiber clutch, earrings with a bow-drop design, and a bold diamond ring. Everything about her look felt graceful and put-together.

Parul Gulati's debut at Cannes was impossible to miss. Her dress was made entirely from braided hair — a nod to her own brand, Nish Hair, and the identity she's built around it. Designed by ITRH, the dress was unlike anything else on the red carpet.
The top half of the dress used tight, structured braids to fit her form, while the bottom let the braids fall loose and open. Fans loved it. Some called her 'malkin' — her popular nickname — and said she truly owned the moment.

Making her Cannes debut, actor Anushka Sen wore a stunning mermaid-style gown by Duchess Kumari Couture. But this wasn't just another dress — it was something months in the making, with many pouring their time into it.
'611 hours, 34 karigars, and months of planning,' Anushka wrote on Instagram, thanking everyone involved — her stylist, the designer, photographers, and her fans. She called it a 'dream come true,' and said the gown blended Indian embroidery with a modern silhouette.
She paired it with elegant jewellery and heels that let her move with ease, finishing the look with grace and gratitude.

Marvel Fans Go Wild As Baby Franklin Richards Debuts In Fantastic Four: First Steps
Last Updated: Franklin Richards is not just any child. In the Marvel comics, he is arguably one of the most powerful beings. Marvel Studios has unleashed the first teaser for The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and it's already breaking the internet. The biggest moment?

The teaser has triggered massive fan excitement across the globe, with U.S. ticketing platforms like FANDANGO, Regal, and AMC Theatres reportedly crashing under the heavy demand. Adding to the frenzy is the anticipation among Indian fans, eager for the July 25, 2025 release in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Marvel Studios (@marvelstudios) Director Matt Shakman, who helms the film, recently opened up about the deep comic roots the movie draws from. 'Having absorbed six decades of F4 publishing, many of Hickman's magical moments and unique character dynamics stick with me. And they made it into our film in small and large ways," he shared. He further teased elements like 'The Future Foundation," 'The Bridge," and the emotional undercurrent around parenting. 'The messy family dynamics? Made even more interesting as Val and Franklin take center stage." A standout moment in the teaser features Reed and Sue lying in bed with baby Franklin—signaling his official arrival into the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Vanessa Kirby, who plays Sue Storm, teased fans saying, 'It's not just adults that have superpowers."

While the teaser doesn't show his powers in action, it strongly suggests that the MCU will explore his vast potential in future films. Fantastic Four: First Steps introduces Pedro Pascal as Reed Richards, Vanessa Kirby as Sue Storm, Joseph Quinn as Johnny Storm, and Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Ben Grimm. Together, they must protect Earth from Galactus (Ralph Ineson) and his Herald, Silver Surfer (Julia Garner), while grappling with new responsibilities—including parenthood.

It is important to remind people that we do have those locations as well as new locations,' said Bedi. The actor also called for more facilities to increase tourism in India. 'Infrastructure that should be built there, it is good if they are built because if people have to reach there and reside there and enjoy, the accommodation should be good. The goal of the Italy-India meeting was to bring India's message here that not only for investment but (come to India) even as a tourism destination, as a place where people can go and admire the culture,' added Kabir Bedi.
