Alia Bhatt made a powerful impression at the 78th Cannes Film Festival, captivating fashion critics and fans alike with her graceful presence and striking couture choices. For the festival’s closing ceremony, Alia wore a landmark ensemble Gucci’s first-ever bespoke saree stealing the spotlight not just for her look, but also for how she handled an unexpected red carpet mishap with poise and elegance.
A Stunning Gucci Saree and a Near Mishap
The actress stunned onlookers in a contemporary Gucci saree that featured the brand’s iconic GG monogram intricately woven into a criss-cross pattern. The saree was paired with a structured bralette and skirt, blending traditional Indian wear with high-fashion couture. Alia completed her look with a statement necklace from Malabar Gold and Diamonds, which featured rare old European-cut diamonds set in rustic gold with an oxidised Victorian finish.
As she waved to paparazzi and posed for photos, an unseen video now viral on social media captured a split-second fashion emergency: Alia’s necklace became unhooked and nearly slipped off. In a swift and instinctive move, the actress caught it with her hand and continued posing, placing her hand gracefully around her neck. What could have been an awkward moment was transformed into an effortlessly elegant gesture, creating one of the night’s most iconic photos.
Social Media Applauds Her Composure
Fans were quick to react to the video, lauding Alia’s quick reflexes and composure under pressure. One user wrote, “What a save — turned it into a glamorous moment,” while another commented, “Great catch, Alia!” The moment, though unplanned, became a highlight of the evening and showcased Alia’s ability to stay composed and graceful even in high-pressure situations.
“Credits given where it’s due. She did it pretty gracefully,” one user noted, while another added, “She wasn’t nervous at all. I loved this new look of hers.”
