Cannes 2025: Rahul Bhat returns with ‘Lost and Found in Kumbh'; Farhana Bodi's floral gown makes bold fashion statement
Rahul Bhat showed his third appearance at the Cannes Film Festival in 2025, this time walking the red carpet for the teaser launch of his first Hollywood film Lost and Found in Kumbh. Also drawing attention at the global festival was Farhana Bodi, who returned for her second red carpet appearance this year in a look titled The Flowers I Didn't Receive, symbolizing inner strength and creativity. Rahul Bhat walks red carpet for Lost and Found in Kumbh Actor Rahul Bhat, known for his role in Black Warrant, was present at the 78th Cannes Film Festival for the third time. He walked the red carpet for the teaser launch of Lost and Found in Kumbh, his Hollywood debut. Reflecting on the occasion, Bhat said, 'It feels like a true homecoming.' The film is directed by first-time filmmaker Mayur Puri and produced by Mulberry Films, based in Los Angeles. The story is set during the Kumbh Mela and follows a London-based philosophy professor who travels to India with his British wife and son. While in India, he unexpectedly meets his Indian ex-wife and son. The family then loses track of the professor's father in the crowded Kumbh Mela, leading to the two half-brothers getting separated. Bhat's Cannes journey began in 2013 with Ugly, which premiered in the Directors' Fortnight section. He returned in 2023 with Kennedy, which received a seven-minute standing ovation at the festival. Farhana Bodi wears symbolic gown in second appearance Farhana Bodi returned to the Cannes red carpet in a couture gown titled Les fleurs que je n'ai pas reçues — which translates to The Flowers I Didn't Receive. The outfit marked her second appearance this year and contrasted her earlier high-glamour Barbie-inspired look. Her latest ensemble included handmade floral appliqués on a sheer tulle corset, flowing into a sculpted silk crepe silhouette. The gown ended in three leaf-like shapes, symbolizing renewal and self-growth. She paired the look with green crystal earrings and a sleek bun. 'The dress has a dramatic impact on me,' Bodi said. 'It's about the ache of not receiving what you long for, and instead, having the courage to create it yourself.' Fashion with meaning: Farhana's red carpet message While her first look focused on glamour, Farhana Bodi's second appearance carried a more introspective tone. Her fashion choice conveyed a message of resilience, turning longing into self-created beauty. Her outfit brought together personal expression and high fashion, strengthening her position as a style figure with substance on the global stage.

Farhana Bodi on her Cannes outing! Calls Aishwarya Rai her inspiration
Farhana Bodi She's no stranger to the flashbulbs of Cannes, and this year, Farhana Bodi returns to the 78th Cannes Film Festival with her signature flair. A seasoned presence at the world's most stylish cinematic celebration, Farhana reflects on the experience with palpable emotion, saying, 'It's such a special place for me. It's not just about fashion, it's about celebrating art, creativity, and global culture. Every time I walk that red carpet, it feels surreal. The energy, the people, the atmosphere—it's something I genuinely look forward to every year.'

She says, 'This year's look is very close to my heart. It's elegant but with a strong, modern twist. I wanted something that reflects my personality—feminine, confident, and a little bit bold. We've been working on every detail for weeks, so I can't wait to finally reveal it. I've been loving metallic tones and clean, sculptural lines lately. It feels fresh and empowering. You might just see a hint of that this year, nothing over-the-top, but definitely something that feels modern and strong.' Curating a couture moment for Cannes is no casual affair. It's a collaborative, detail-oriented process, and Farhana thrives in the creative chaos. 'It's definitely a process! I start with a vision of how I want to feel and look on the red carpet, then work closely with designers whose style matches that vision. There's a lot of back-and-forth, fittings, and fine-tuning. It's a team effort, and I'm grateful to work with people who understand my style and help bring it to life.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 2025 Top Trending local enterprise accounting software [Click Here] Esseps Learn More Undo But even amidst the high glamour, Farhana stays grounded in her personal style, gracefully balancing individuality with the expectations of an international stage.

Dubai Bling star Farhana Bodi on her fashion journey, beauty secrets and Cannes 2025 look: ‘My style is glam with soul'
Farhana Bodi is an Indian-origin model-turned-entrepreneur who has wowed audiences over the three seasons of Netflix's popular reality TV show Dubai Bling. In an exclusive interview with Hindustan Times, Farhana opens up about her fashion evolution, go-to beauty tips, and what to expect from her upcoming Cannes appearance. (Also read: Deepika Padukone stuns as B-Town's most stylish mommy in new photoshoot, flaunts her postpartum glow in vibrant outfits ) It's been quite a ride! I was born in South Africa, but I always felt like my dreams were bigger than any one place. I moved to Dubai over a decade ago with the hope of building something of my own. At first, it was just me, my vision, and a lot of hustle. I didn't have a clear roadmap but I had a strong sense of purpose. Over time, through fashion, content, and connecting with women globally, I found my space. Dubai gave me the platform to turn that vision into reality. A post shared by FARHANA (@farhanabodi) Fashion has always been my language, it's how I express emotion, identity, and strength. Social media just became the natural extension of that expression. I saw a space where I could not only showcase style but also share stories, inspire, and connect. It was never just about aesthetics, it was about empowerment and visibility, especially for women who look like me. Dubai Bling opened up my world in so many ways. It introduced me to a global audience and allowed people to see beyond the curated photos to see the woman, the mother and the entrepreneur. It also brought its share of scrutiny, which taught me how to stand even stronger in my truth. Professionally, it's been a launchpad for exciting opportunities, but personally, it's been a journey of growth and learning. A post shared by FARHANA (@farhanabodi) To an extent, yes and no. Reality TV is still edited for entertainment, so of course not every layer of who I am can fit into a season. I'm a very spiritual, grounded person, but I also love fashion, travel, and luxury. The show shows one side of that, but the depth, especially as a mother and entrepreneur, is something you really only understand if you know me personally. Thank you! My style is glam with soul. I love statement pieces, but I always dress for how I feel. One day it's power suits, the next it's flowy silks. I mix elegance with edge, and I always aim for confidence over trends. A post shared by FARHANA (@farhanabodi) I've always admired women who blend strength with style, like Rihanna, Zendaya, and old-school icons like Sophia Loren. But honestly, I also draw inspiration from everyday women around me. There's nothing more inspiring than someone who owns her look unapologetically. Hydration, sleep (whenever I can get it!), and skincare are key. I'm big on facial massages, clean products, and inner wellness. And I never underestimate the power of a good lipstick and a quiet moment to breathe. Cannes is such a dream, and I've been working closely with a designer who truly understands my vibe. Expect something timeless but bold—elegance with a bit of drama. I want to celebrate my roots while standing tall in global glam. Let's just say… it's going to be a moment.
