Alia Bhatt shares behind-the-scene moments from her Cannes looks
Bollywood actress Alia Bhatt took to social media to give a glimpse behind the scenes of her glamorous appearances at Cannes 2025. Sharing candid moments from her makeup and styling sessions, the 'Raazi' actress showcased the fun and effort that went into creating her stunning red carpet looks. From intricate makeup routines to joyful moments enjoying live music, Alia's behind-the-scenes snippets revealed the personality and charm behind her elegant Cannes presence.
On Wednesday, Bhatt posted a couple of her photos on Instagram and simply wrote, 'Cannes-dids okay bye, see you next year.' In the first image, Alia is seen wearing a bathrobe, applying lipstick while stylishly fixing her hair. In the next video, her makeup artist is applying red lipstick, followed by another clip showing her getting her eyelashes enhanced with mascara. She also shared photos of her stunning looks from Cannes 2025. Additionally, she posted a video from a restaurant where a singer is performing live.
Notably, Bhatt's mother, Soni Razdan, was quick to take note of the actress' post as she reacted, writing, 'Best pics n best team.'
For the closing ceremony, Alia Bhatt wore a look that was both breathtaking and rich in cultural meaning. She dazzled in a nude-toned, sequined, saree-inspired drape by Gucci and accessorized it with a matching silver mini handbag. In a video posted on her Instagram, the Student of the Year actress said, 'Today is the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival 2025, and I am getting ready for the red carpet of the closing ceremony. This is my first time at the Cannes Film Festival. I am, of course, always excited, a bunch of nerves. I truly thrive in this sort of chaos.'
'It's a bit strange, I don't know why, but like the chaos always tends to find us. A couple of minutes ago, we had no electricity for the last four hours. So, Amit (Amit Thakur, her hairstylist) over here was actually taking my hair extensions, and he put it on a tong, and he put it out in the sun so that it could heat up because we had no electricity. We figured it out as we're going, but now we're very grateful and thankful that the electricity is back,' she added. Alia Bhatt kicked off her red carpet appearance in a stunning ivory Schiaparelli haute couture gown. Later, she turned heads in a dazzling second look-a jewel-adorned navy gown by Armani Privé at the prestigious festival.
On the movie front, Alia will be seen in the upcoming all-female super spy film 'Alpha'. Directed by Shiv Rawail, 'Alpha' will mark the seventh film in Yash Raj Films' expansive spy universe. This universe began with the 'Tiger' franchise, starring Salman Khan and Katrina Kaif, starting with 'Ek Tha Tiger' and followed by 'Tiger Zinda Hai.' The saga continued with 'War,' 'Pathaan,' and 'Tiger 3.' Upcoming films in the franchise include 'War 2,' directed by Ayan Mukerji, 'Pathaan 2,' and 'Tiger vs. Pathaan.

Bhumi Pednekar shares how she ‘gets high' on life while shooting on set
Actress Bhumi Pednekar recently offered a glimpse into what keeps her spirits soaring on set. In a candid moment, she shared how she often 'gets high' on life while working. Taking to Instagram, Bhumi shared photos of herself from the sets, writing, 'Bun maska and chai gets me high.' In the images, the Bhakshak actress is seen enjoying tea with bun maska. In the video, Pednekar could be heard saying, 'Bread, butter, and chai ultimate.' Bhumi shared a series of photos from the sets, capturing the cozy mood of a rainy-day shoot. Along with her post, she used hashtags like #monsoons, #onset, #filming, #BhumiPednekar, and #chai — perfectly summing up her love for simple pleasures during a busy filming schedule. Professionally, the 'Badhaai Do' actress was most recently seen in the series 'The Royals,' which also starred Ishaan Khatter, Zeenat Aman, Sakshi Tanwar, Nora Fatehi, Vihaan Samat, Dino Morea, and Milind Soman. Directed by Priyanka Ghose and Nupur Asthana, the romantic comedy centered on a once-wealthy royal family in present-day India, facing financial hardships. Their fate begins to change when the family's heir partners with a hospitality entrepreneur to transform their ancestral palace into a high-end resort. In the show, Bhumi Pednekar played Sophia Kanmani Shekhar, the CEO of Work Potato and the love interest of Fizzy. The series premiered on Netflix on May 9, 2025, and was renewed for a second season on May 28. Tanya Bami, Series Head, Netflix India, added, 'Rom-coms have a timeless charm; they make us laugh, believe in love, and embrace the beautiful chaos that comes with it. With The Royals, we've created a modern love story that has an equally modern-day conflict. While Bridgerton and Emily in Paris showed the world how compelling romantic sagas can be, The Royals brings that sizzle and swoon to a world that's unapologetically Indian. Creators Rangita Pritish Nandy and Ishita Pritish Nandy said, 'With The Royals, we've mounted a romance that whips together the old-world charm of palaces and Indian royalty with glass-walled boardrooms and modern reality—where love is anything but easy.' The creators shared that the series is about two people from completely different worlds, each fighting their own battles, constantly at odds, yet irresistibly drawn to each other in ways they never expected. Bhumi is next gearing up for the release of the psychological thriller 'Daldal.' In an Instagram post, the actress had opened up about her character in the upcoming web series. Reflecting on what she described as a year-long journey, she shared her excitement and nervousness about portraying a role she considers one of the most complex and layered of her career.

When's the next long weekend after the Eid Al Adha holidays?
Now that we're looking forward to the four-day break for Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha in next week in June, you might be wondering when are your next holidays coming. Let's take a look at what's left in this year's public holiday calendar. View this post on Instagram A post shared by DIANA SHEKHANY (@dianashex) The holiday period starts with Arafat Day on Thursday, June 5, followed by Eid Al Adha celebrations from Friday, June 6 through Sunday, June 8. Since these dates lined up perfectly with the weekend, it's a nice long break for everyone. These dates were all part of the official 2025 public holiday schedule that the government announced earlier this year. So what's next? There are still three more public holidays to look forward to before the year ends. The next one up is Islamic New Year, which is expected to fall on Thursday, June 26. This one-day holiday marks the beginning of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. UAE Public Holidays 2025: How to plan your long weekends and extended breaks? Later in the year, we'll have the Prophet Muhammad's (PBUH) birthday, currently expected to be on Friday, September 5. The exact date will be confirmed closer to the time since it depends on the moon sighting. This is always a special day with various religious and community events happening across the country. Then to wrap up the year, we've got UAE National Day on Tuesday and Wednesday, December 2-3. This two-day break is always full of excitement with fireworks, concerts, and all kinds of patriotic celebrations across the Emirates. Since it falls mid-week, some people might choose to take a couple extra days off to make it a longer break. Eid Al Adha Escape Plan: 7 unusual getaways less than 4 hours from Dubai The government can sometimes move holidays to the start or end of the week to create longer weekends, but this doesn't apply to Eid holidays. If a holiday happens to fall on a weekend, we don't get an extra day to make up for it. Also, local governments can sometimes announce additional holidays for special occasions in their emirate. So there you have it – three more chances to relax and enjoy some time off before we ring in 2026. Whether you're planning a quick getaway, a staycation, or just some quality downtime, these upcoming holidays give you something to look forward to in the second half of the year. – For more on luxury lifestyle, news, fashion and beauty follow Emirates Woman on Facebook and Instagram Images: Instagram & Feature Image: @dianashex
