Alia Bhatt on Her Chaotic Cannes Film Festival Debut, Swathed in a Gucci Sari
'I truly thrive in this sort of chaos,' Alia Bhatt says, '[and] the chaos always tends to find us.' Indeed, just hours before Vogue meets the Heart of Stone and Jigra actor on the Croisette, she had to wait through a massic hotel power outage as she prepared for the closing ceremony at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival. Her hairstylist even wrapped her hair extensions in a curling iron and laid them out in the sun to heat up. 'I'm a trooper! No emotion is constant,' Bhatt adds with a laugh, describing how she navigates such a major event. 'I blend into the chaos part of it, but I'm still finding my calm on the red carpet.' Later, when Vogue glimpses Bhatt again, she's effortlessly riding the red carpet wave among the flashing camera lights for the closing ceremony, wearing a custom Gucci interpretation of a traditional Indian sari. ('When it comes to an outfit…there's nothing more endless or timeless than a sari,' Bhatt previously told Vogue while getting ready for the 2024 Met Gala.) Today's look is a sensual, minimal silhouette with a dramatic drape and the classic GG monogram: 'Signature Italian glamour mixed with Indian exuberance,' as Bhatt's stylist Rhea Kapoor puts it. Bhatt is also carrying a custom mini Jackie bag; in India, it's customary to pair a sari with a small purse. 'I'm done with quiet luxury, it's over for me, bye!' jokes Kapoor. 'I think there are times you whisper, and there are times you scream with joy—and I think this is one of those times.' Of course: This has been Bhatt's Cannes debut, and she's Gucci's first Indian brand ambassador. Alongside Kapoor, she's here with a close-knit team that also includes longtime makeup artist Puneet B Saini and hairstylist Amit Thakur. Given all the traveling they do together, 'It's important we like each other!' Bhatt notes. (After this, she's back to India to film another project.) She describes Kapoor as 'the one and only stylist who can make me do things I'd never do because she has a persuasive, gentle, very clear tone. If she envisions it, it has to happen.' And what a vision Kappor had this time: Swathed in her Gucci sari, curled hair tousled and eyes earthy and smoked out, Bhatt then makes for the elevator to close out Cannes in style.

Iconic, that's the word. Alia Bhatt in Gucci's first-ever saree-inspired outfit
Alia Bhatt attended the closing ceremony at the Cannes Film Festival in a Gucci ensemble with a saree-inspired drape. A combination we never saw coming, but wow, she served it in style!The look screamed iconic from top to toe - nude-toned, Swarovski-encrusted, featuring the brand's signature GG monogram throughout the expanse. The sheer latticework of crystal netting is one for the books. Alia Bhatt in a saree-inspired outfit by Gucci. () advertisementAlia's final look on the Cannes carpet was an amalgamation of heritage and haute couture. Styled by Rhea Kapoor, the look is allegedly Gucci's first-ever interpretation of the Indian saree. Now, onto the blouse, which was everything that radiated drama on the red carpet, featuring a similar metallic mesh-like design. The pallu, naturally the talk of social media, flowed like an elongated train. That GG monogram though! () The styling was smartly restrained with a clean diamond riviere necklace with ear-studs to match. She let her hair down quite literally (and thank god for that) in soft waves, followed by makeup that was nude, dewy, and just kohl-rimmed eyes getting all the was Alia's first major Gucci outing post her global ambassadorship with the house, and it delivered precisely what it needed to, an East-meets-West flex without the cliche. It is also so safe that this was her best amongst the rest of Cannes looks (anyone wants to contest?). Nothing much but a riviere necklace and ear studs to complete that look. () Gucci, a brand known for mixing classic Italian heritage with contemporary, did the same thing, only this time, it was the Indian legacy that received the spotlight. And pulling off that look brilliantly was Alia Bhatt, who brought the best of reverence and rebellion to the red Reel
