Alia Bhatt Picks A Breathtaking Schiaparelli Outfit For Cannes Debut In A Risk That Pays Off
Alia Bhatt chose a creation from a line titled 'Icarus' for her debut at Cannes, once the Mecca of films, now the high street of fashion. Alia's debut was the most anticipated moment for India at the Cannes International Film Festival this year. And Bhatt, in the very capable hands of stylist Rhea Kapoor, didn't disappoint at all. Alia chose haute couture and how! A Schiaparelli creation by Daniel Roseberry, from the Maison's Spring/Summer 2025 line, made Alia stand out from among the dime-a-dozen debuts and appearances we saw at Cannes this year. Alia let the sculpted gown do the talking, and made her makeup, along with the outfit, the highlight of her look. The hair and minimal jewellery helped the Schiaparelli creation stand out. Look 11 from Schiaparelli's Spring/Summer couture line 2025, Alia's white body-hugging gown came with a ruffled train of sorts. Schiaparelli creative director Daniel Roseberry named the line 'Icarus', after the Greek tragic hero who took a risk too many, to showcase the limitless risks he was willing to take in haute couture. Alia Bhatt picking a gown from the line was a hat-tip to that very limitless imagination of Roseberry and the French design house. A palette of neutrals and shimmering metallics, Alia's Cannes look felt both fantastical and elegant at the same time. In an earlier interview, Roseberry spoke about the process of creating the Icarus collection. He said that he embarked on a bit of 'time travel' while crafting the pieces. Alia Bhatt's gown was every bit the risk that is traditionally associated with Icarus. And it paid off, we say! Alia's appearance at Cannes comes at the fag end of the festival this year. Over the past two weeks, we have seen a stream of Indian celebrities and influencers gracing the red carpet; to both wows and ewws. Alia Bhatt is at Cannes as a Loreal brand ambassador, along with Cannes veteran Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

Georges Hobeika hosts Arab stars at Paris Haute Couture Week
DUBAI/ PARIS: Lebanese couturier Georges Hobeika showcased his Spring-Summer 2025 at Paris Haute Couture Week, with the likes of Emirati Egyptian TV personality Mahira Abdelaziz and Lebanese model Nour Rizk on hand to take in the show. For the latest updates, follow us on Instagram @ Billed as a tribute to his late mother, Marie Hobeika, the show kicked off with a series of all-black looks before transitioning into the glittering lighter-hued looks Hobeika is known for. Abdelaziz was also on hand as Schiaparelli opened Paris Haute Couture Week with a dazzling spectacle titled 'Icarus' under the gilded ceilings of the Petit Palais. Gleaming gold talismans, envisioned as suns, lined the runway — a nod to the myth of the boy who flew too close to the sun, The Associated Press reported. The collection embodied themes of risk-taking by subverting classic couture codes, daring to push boundaries. Unlike Icarus, however, this collection did not fall; it soared. Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, Marisa Berenson and Kelly Rutherford watched Kendall Jenner and other models walk with stately grace, deliberately evoking old-school couture shows' slow pacing. Daniel Roseberry's collection reimagined traditional couture codes with a provocative edge. Inspired by vintage ribbons, he turned soft hues like butter, saffron and 'toast' brown into bold baroque silhouettes that disrupted tradition. Meanwhile, designer Maria Grazia Chiuri delved into the storied archives of Christian Dior for her latest haute couture collection Monday, exploring the transformations of time, AP noted. The accomplished spring 2025 show — one of Chiuri's best in seasons — drew from the key silhouettes of Dior's iconic past designers, such as Yves Saint Laurent, and infusing them with her distinct contemporary vision. The show was a commentary on how fashion serves as a lens for understanding time. Key inspirations included the Trapèze line, originally conceived by Saint Laurent in 1958, and Christian Dior's Cigale silhouette from 1952, both updated with modern fabrics.
