Whether she's gracing a red carpet or striking a pose by the sea, Alia continues to prove she's not just a Bollywood star, but a bona fide global style icon in the making. Fans were quick to flood the comments section of both the looks with love. While her saree look got her called the ultimate "slay queen," some couldn't resist poking fun at the all-yellow outfit—drawing cheeky comparisons to Frooti, the mango drink brand she endorses. A tribute to women in Film Beyond the fashion, Alia's looks at Cannes carried a deeper significance. Her appearance paid tribute to L'Oréal Paris' "Lights on Women" initiative, launched in 2021. This program honours emerging female short filmmakers and is part of the brand's annual awards event held in the French Riviera. According to L'Oréal, "The award attempts to create a path for women in film to advance their careers while also addressing the industry's under-representation of women."
