Bollywood top star stuns at Cannes in ‘first-ever' Gucci saree
Bollywood actor Alia Bhatt appeared at the Cannes film festival in Gucci's first-ever bespoke saree, bringing the closing ceremony to a glamorous end.
The 32-year-old actor wore a Gucci's saree-inspired draped outfit in silver mesh adorned with the signature GG logo and Swarovski crystals on Saturday at the 78th Cannes film festival.
'Global brand ambassador Alia Bhatt attended the closing ceremony of the 78th Cannes Film Festival in a custom Gucci gown with embroidered crystals in a GG Monogram pattern. The actress was also pictured in a custom three-piece set,' the luxury brand said in a social media post.
The bejewelled ensemble is likely 'Gucci's first creation with the iconic Indian silhouette, marking a milestone', said Vogue, adding that the look is 'an ode to Indian heritage'.
Bhatt's minimalist yet stunning look included the nude-coloured attire with a blouse, a skirt mirroring the silhouette of a saree and a dupatta-like drape flowing from her left-shoulder on the red carpet.
The leading actor had minimal make-up with kohl-lined eyes and a dainty diamond tennis necklace she wore as a choker.
'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,' Bhatt said during an interaction with media at the film festival.
Earlier in the day, Bhatt made her first appearance at the closing ceremony in custom Schiaparelli haute couture.
The much-anticipated look by Gucci's global ambassador from India comes after she made her second appearance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art Gala in New York in May last year, where she looked to traditional Indian attire for inspiration for her heavily embroidered Sabyasachi saree with a dramatic 23-ft train.
The Bollywood actor wore a custom mint-green saree by Indian couturier Sabyasachi, embodying the 'The Garden of Time' dress code.
The Heart of Stone actor wore a Prabal Gurung gown for her debut at the Met in 2023.
Revenge thriller It Was Just An Accident by Iranian director Jafar Panahi, who was barred from filmmaking for 15 years by the government in Tehran, won the Palme d'Or top prize on Saturday.

When in London, Miley Cyrus Wears the Capital's Favorite Freakiest Shoe
Miley Cyrus spent the week taking Paris by storm, the streets her runway: She played a secret show for fans in Moulin Rouge-esque, vintage and crystal-encrusted Mugler corsets, and took to the streets in full Valentino, a sheer gown with a feather bra, and a very special Eiffel Tower-embellished archival mini-dress. Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Photo: Backgrid Alongside her very different takes on French girl chic, Cyrus also joined Beyoncé on her mammoth Cowboy Carter tour to become her very first guest performer. The duo performed 'II Most Wanted' from 2024's Cowboy Carter, which won them the Grammy for best country duo or group performance. The crowd, of course, went wild. For the moment, they both opted for gilded, golden looks: Cyrus in custom Alexander McQueen, and Bey in custom Rabanne. So stepping off the Eurostar at London St. Pancras International station yesterday (June 20), Cyrus exhibited a style more in step with the London fashion set aesthetic, as she arrived to keep promoting her latest album Something Beautiful. She wore a blue-gray trench coat with light blue wash straight leg jeans rolled up at the ankles, and a black tank layered with gold necklaces. She brushed back her usual '80s blow-out into a slick back ponytail, with huge aviator sunglasses and a Maison Margiela 5AC black handbag. On her feet, every east London girl's favorite choice for freaky footwear: the Margiela tabi ballerina flat.

Who Is Andreina Santos? Meet the Bombshell Turning Heads on Love Island USA Season 7
The villa just got hotter and a little tenser. Enter Andreina Santos, the radiant, runway-ready bombshell who just strutted into Love Island USA season 7 like she owns the place. And quite frankly? She might. The 24-year-old model is the latest curveball thrown into the villa following a mess of emotional recouplings, romantic casualties, and enough sideways glances to fill an entire season of The Real Housewives. But unlike some of the filler contestants we've seen crumble under villa pressure, Andreina came armed: with beauty, brains, and the calm confidence of someone who already knows she's the main character, even if she entered late. Andreina isn't just 'the new girl.' She's a global model with a career that has seen her zig-zag across continents, working with brands, killing runways, and building a polished, highly curated social media presence that screams expensive. With shoots that drip in style and finesse, and a face that looks genetically engineered for high fashion, Andreina has been building her brand long before she stepped foot into the Love Island villa. While the other islanders were arguing over who kissed who under what blanket, Andreina was balancing school and snapping professional-grade photos for her modeling portfolio. She's not just some pretty girl looking for airtime, she's been putting in the work. And the villa? It's just another campaign. Her Instagram serves body goals: carefully lit shots, editorial poses, styled shoots, and a vibe that falls somewhere between Vogue runway princess and effortlessly luxe It Girl. She knows her angles, her light, her audience. The girl is giving content and you will deal. Unfortunately for Andreina, she didn't walk into paradise, she walked into hell week. The villa has just been shaken by the breakup of Huda Mustafa and Jeremiah Brown, a relationship that had been teetering on emotional fumes. Now, Huda's single, steaming, and dangerously competitive. And with fellow bombshell TJ Palma arriving alongside Andreina, the island just became a battlefield. It's giving smize and sabotage, and honestly? We're here for it. Both Andreina and Huda have their eyes on TJ, and while Huda may have tenure, Andreina is the shiny new toy. What she lacks in pre-established alliances, she makes up for in mystique. The guys may say they're satisfied in their matches, but we've seen what happens when a bombshell walks in. All that loyalty talk flies out faster than a recoupling text. Coming in right after the season's most emotionally intense recoupling was a bold move and maybe a little sadistic on the producers' part, but Andreina doesn't seem fazed. She's got that 'I just flew in from Milan and I'm not here to beg' energy. Whether she's walking into a conversation or a confrontation, she carries herself with a poised aloofness that makes it clear she's not here to compete, she's the prize. And yes, she's young. But this woman knows who she is. At 24, she's already got a portfolio, a brand, and now, national exposure. What do most of the other islanders have? A couple of matching swimsuits and a ring light. Love Island is a launchpad, and Andreina is strapped in, locked on, and ready for liftoff. Even if she doesn't find her soul-swapping twin flame in the villa, Andreina is about to get the ultimate career boost. Her Instagram already reads like a portfolio. After this show? She'll be fielding partnerships with the same brands these girls are begging to tag for free bikinis. She fits in perfectly with the model-influencer hybrid ecosystem that Love Island USA has cultivated, but make no mistake, she's poised to rise above it. She doesn't need the villa to be famous. She just needed a camera crew to catch up. The post Who Is Andreina Santos? Meet the Bombshell Turning Heads on Love Island USA Season 7 appeared first on Where Is The Buzz | Breaking News, Entertainment, Exclusive Interviews & More.

Cardi B Is Feisty and Ready for Summer on ‘Outside'
Cardi B wants to shake it all summer! On Friday, the rap star released 'Outside,' her first solo single of the year, which she says channels a feistier version of herself, who was a tad angrier than she is today. 'If y'all wouldn't have asked for it, I wouldn't have put it out. I made this song a few months ago when I was very, very angry,' Cardi said in an Instagram Story. 'I had to change some bars because I was angry, honey.'

Cardi debuted the song earlier this week at Spotify's Cannes Beach event. On her IG, the rapper thanked her fans for their support, adding that she was 'very surprised and shocked' by how much love 'Outside' was getting after she debuted it live. 'We outside all summer. It doesn't matter if you're fucking pregnant,' Cardi joked. Earlier this year, Cardi joined Pardison Fontaine on 'Toot It Up' in February, and she joined DJ Khaled, Desi Trill, Natania, and Subhi on 'Higher Love' from the Smurfs soundtrack. Cardi opened up in an Instagram Live in May that she was delaying her album as she secures her features. 'I really need these fucking features,' Cardi said at the time. 'I'm not really trying to press or go crazy on these artists because I love them down. But it's like come on now, I need that. I need that right now. Y'all don't want to miss this opportunity.'
