Alia Bhatt At Cannes 2025: Four Makeup Looks, One Iconic Debut

NDTV28-05-2025
Alia Bhatt made her much-awaited debut at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Needless to say, the actress didn't just walk the red carpet - she owned it and how. Now, Alia has shared a picture dump from her Cannes outing, highlighting the various makeup looks she aced for her debut.
First and foremost, Alia walked the Cannes red carpet in an ivory-hued Schiaparelli haute couture by Daniel Roseberry from the Maison's Spring/Summer 2025 collection. But it was her fresh and dewy makeup that caught our eyes. The actress went for a minimal makeup look with well-defined eyebrows, warm-toned eyeshadows and eyeliner that accentuated their shape. She wore slightly rosy lipstick, and classic kiss curls that framed her sleek hairdo.
For her second look, Alia Bhatt went all retro and channelled her inner Audrey Hepburn in a yellow Gucci co-ord set. For makeup, she opted for subtle blush on the cheeks, feathered brows, glowing highlighter, voluminous lashes and a bold red lip to add a pop of colour to the yellow silhouette. Her hair was neatly tucked beneath the scarf.
Alia Bhatt attended the Lights on Women's Worth event at Cannes in an Armani Privé creation. The navy blue off-shoulder dress was crystal-embellished to perfection with blue gemstones. The actress sealed this appearance with a no-makeup look sans bold lipstick or coloured tones in sight.
Saving the best for last, Alia Bhatt stepped out in Gucci's interpretation of a saree for the Closing Ceremony. The lehenga-style drape was adorned with strategically placed Swarovski crystals. The deep neck blouse and the nude structured skirt had the brand's logo 'GG' placed all over the saree. A bold, dewy makeup and soft beachy waves completed her look with finesse.

Alia and her stylist, Rhea Kapoor, described the outfit as Gucci's modern interpretation of a saree, blending signature Italian glamour with Indian cultural elements. However, Gucci's official description omitted any reference to Indian attire, referring to it simply as a "custom Gucci gown with embroidered crystals in a GG Monogram pattern". This reclassification sparked widespread backlash, particularly among Indian fashion enthusiasts who felt the ensemble more closely resembled a lehenga choli or a saree-inspired look, rather than a traditional gown.
The Cannes Film Festival concluded on May 24. Alia Bhatt attended Cannes as a Loreal brand ambassador, along with Cannes veteran Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Government blocks 25 OTT platforms for obscenity

This is a representational AI image (Pic credit: Lexica) NEW DELHI: In a sweeping crackdown on digital obscenity, the ministry of information and broadcasting has directed internet service providers to block public access to 25 OTT platforms, including Ullu, ALTT and Desiflix, for hosting sexually explicit, obscene, and, in some cases, pornographic content. The directive, issued on July 23, also covers 26 websites and 14 mobile applications associated with these platforms. The action follows repeated warnings to these platforms and comes after consultations with the ministries of home affairs, electronics and IT, the department of legal affairs, industry bodies like FICCI and CII, and experts on women and child rights. Sources said the decision was triggered by growing public grievances and the platforms' persistent violation of IT Rules, 2021, and Indian obscenity laws. Platforms like Ullu and ALTT had been flagged by the National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) in 2024 for content containing sexual innuendo and nudity with little or no narrative context. Ullu had to remove its series House Arrest in May 2025 after govt intervention. A similar crackdown took place in 2024 when 18 OTT platforms, such as Dreams Films, Rabbit, Hunters, and Prime Play, were blocked. In many cases, government officials said, the content violated sections 67 and 67A of the IT Act, Section 292 of IPC, and the Indecent Representation of Women (Prohibition) Act. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Learn More - How Watching Videos Can Boost Your Income TheDaddest Undo Former Central Information Commissioner Uday Mahurkar, who heads the 'Save Culture Save Bharat Foundation', lauded the govt for banning the applications and websites, calling it a "digital surgical strike".

Mahurkar added in a statement, "However, this is only the first battle. A one-time ban is not enough. We need systemic legal and technological reforms to permanently safeguard our cultural values and make Digital India a truly value-based and safe space for our children."
