(Video) Rizman Ruzaini Makes Cannes Film Festival Debut With Stunning Pink Ensemble
Malaysia's very own Rizman Ruzaini continues to make a name for itself in the global market! The homegrown fashion label recently made a jaw-dropping appearance at the Cannes Film Festival with Norwegian-Somali model Rawdah Mohamed!
Last weekend, Rawdah walked the red carpet at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival for the movie 'Die, My Love', starring Jennifer Lawrence and Robert Pattinson. The model turned heads with her pink ensemble, complete with a matching hijab. Rawdah kept the jewellery simple, sporting a necklace from the French luxury jewellery house Boucheron. Netizens and fashion magazines praised the look for being modern and modest, with many praising the hijab.
As it turns out, the dress was a custom design by Malaysian designer duo Rizman Ruzaini. Through its Instagram account, the fashion house described the custom look, 'A sculptural study in silhouette and silk, the rose pink ensemble featured a svelte buttoned-back bodice flowing into a dramatic flared skirt, masterfully gathered at the hips for graceful movement and form.' Meanwhile, the matching heels were from the Indonesian brand Buttonscarves.
Many Malaysians have reacted to Maison Rizman Ruzaini's Cannes debut, congratulating the designers on their recent milestone. Stars like Malaysian actress Siti Saleha and Indonesian actress Raline Shah also send their praises and love to the homegrown fashion label. Rawdah also loved the custom piece, writing on her Instagram, 'What an honour to wear custom Rizman Ruzaini. Thank you for making me feel one of a kind.'
The model also shared more photos of herself in the dress, taken at her hotel before walking down the Cannes red carpet. Renowned fashion and lifestyle magazine Marie Claire also highlighted Rawdah's look in an Instagram video for their Marie Claire Arabia edition. Fans also praised the 34-year-old and her dress, saying she looked like a princess and a ballerina in the pink custom piece.
While this was Rizman Ruzaini's first appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, the fashion house has appeared at other film festivals. We hope this opens up more opportunities for the brand to appear at international events and red carpets!
