Cannes Film Festival 2025: Alia Bhatt is retro chic in yellow Gucci skirt set and a floral-printed silk scarf
Channeling those iconic 60s movie star feels, Alia Bhatt's second accessory that highlighted the overall look was cat-eye black sunglasses. It added just the right amount of drama, while the mini handbag with gold accents looked every bit sophisticated.
For makeup, she chose to go minimal yet bold with a red lip and a subtle blush on her cheeks. It gave a minimal but impactful touch. The entire look screams luxe, polished, and ultra styles with that stunning blue ocean and yachts in the background just leveling up the whole aesthetic.
While the floral headscarf was a point of discussion on social media, it undeniably made the look iconic and unique. It was a successful debut for Alia Bhatt at Cannes, marking her presence felt in every way with her fashion choices.
Honestly, I think Alia Bhatt looks like she has walked straight out of a retro film set in Cannes – totally timeless and iconic.

Mahesh Bhatt remembers his doomed love story with Parveen Babi, recalls how she 'collapsed': 'She sat in the corner like an animal...'
In the 1970s, actress Parveen Babi shared a romantic relationship with filmmaker Mahesh Bhatt. Their bond, however, unfolded under a shadow of deep emotional unrest. At the time, mental health awareness in India was minimal, and though Parveen displayed signs of psychological distress, she was never medically diagnosed. Mahesh Bhatt has since revisited those turbulent memories, revealing the heartbreaking decline he witnessed in her later years. He described her descent as an overwhelming and painful transformation, one that spiraled beyond control. According to Bhatt, despite the clear signs of mental health deterioration, Parveen was unable to detach from the demanding world of showbiz. Explore courses from Top Institutes in Please select course: Select a Course Category The Irresistible Pull of Stardom Speaking during his appearance on The Himanshu Mehta Show , Mahesh Bhatt disclosed that shortly before the interview, he had been penning down thoughts about Parveen's final descent into what he termed a complete mental breakdown. He explained that numerous attempts were made to dissuade her from returning to the hyper-competitive world of films after her breakdown. Bhatt believed that given her mental vulnerability, she should have stepped away for her own well-being. However, the magnetic pull of fame, the adoration, and the spotlight had become a drug too potent for her to abandon. According to Bhatt, once someone experiences the euphoria of stardom, retreating from it becomes near impossible. Her persistence to remain in the public eye, despite her fragile mental state, led to an emotional collapse that he described as tragically unfathomable. " All attempts were made to make her see that once she had that kind of breakdown, there's no way she should try and fit herself back into this fiercely competitive space. She should have withdrawn, as she had a physiological vulnerability. But I think once you have tasted this business, the high of the arc lights, it's very difficult to turn your back on it. But what happened to her was an unimaginable tragedy," he reminisced. A Glamorous Star with a Simple Soul Though the world saw a dazzling diva adorned in designer wear and exuding confidence, Bhatt shared that behind her glamorous persona, Parveen was deeply rooted in simplicity. According to him, she was a modest woman from Junagadh, Gujarat, who cherished quiet domestic joys—like oiling her hair or cooking at home. The glamorous image she projected on screen and at public events was merely a façade. Beneath it all, she longed for a life of peace and intimacy, not glitz and chaos. A Painful Goodbye and Unhealed Wounds In an earlier conversation with BBC News Hindi , Bhatt revealed witnessing Parveen suffer from severe emotional episodes. He remembered seeing her leave for shoots in the morning, only to return hours later trembling in fear, whispering delusions about imagined threats. According to him, she had schizophrenia—a condition that left her in constant fear and confusion. "I saw her go through her collapse. I went through it with her. And when you see someone breaking down in front of you… I saw her leave in the morning for her shoot with her makeup on. But when I came back in the evening, she was shivering and sitting in a corner like an animal. She kept saying, 'Someone is going to kill me.' She was suffering from schizophrenia,' he said. He tried his best to support her, but the mental strain was immense. When their relationship ended, it did so painfully, leaving emotional scars. Parveen Babi passed away in 2005, leaving behind a legacy of brilliance haunted by inner demons. When Parveen Babi Became Bhatt's Muse Mahesh Bhatt made two films based on his time with Parveen Babi. One was the 1982 drama film 'Arth,' which featured late actress Smita Patil, Shabana Azmi, and Kulbhushan Kharbanda. The second was the 2006 movie 'Woh Lamhe.' Although the film was directed by Mohit Suri, Bhatt wrote and produced it. Starring Kangana Ranaut and Shiney Ahuja, the film narrated the doomed love story between a struggling filmmaker named Aditya and a superstar, Sana Azim, who is battling her own demons.

Ruchi Gujjar slaps producer Karan Singh at film premiere, files police complaint alleging Rs 23 lakh fraud
An FIR was registered against Karan Singh, the producer of Hindi film So Long Valley, for allegedly cheating model Ruchi Gujjar of Rs 23 lakh, a Mumbai police official said on Saturday. Viral videos showed Ruchi purportedly slapping Karan during the movie premiere event held on Friday night. The film's co-producer Man Singh, however, accused the model of staging a 'publicity stunt.' In videos gone viral on social media, Ruchi is seen staging protest at the So Long Valley premiere in Mumbai, along with a few associates. They're heard shouting slogans. After losing her cool, the model is even seen smacking Karan with her sandal. An Oshiwara police station official confirmed that an FIR was registered against Karan Singh on Thursday under various sections for cheating on a complaint lodged by Ruchi Gujjar. The model alleged that Karan had taken money from her under the pretext of launching a movie project for a television channel, and promised her a share in the profit and on-screen credit, the official said. 'The complainant said the project never materialized and Singh didn't return her money,' he added. The police have registered a case under sections 318(4), 352, and 351(2) of the Bharatiya Nyaya Sanhita (BNS). So Long Valley is a Hindi-language crime thriller film starring Tridha Choudhury and Vikram Kochhar. Meanwhile, the film's director and co-producer Man Singh said that Ruchi Gujjar was resorting to a 'publicity stunt'. In a statement, Man claimed that Ruchi tried to get a stay on the film's release, but the court allowed them to go ahead as per its schedule. 'Model Ruchi Gujjar and Karan Singh know each other very well. If she paid some amount to Karan for our movie, she should provide the evidence. It's a publicity stunt, nothing else,' he added. As per an India Today report, Ruchi Gujjar alleged in her complaint that she transferred several amounts worth a combined sum of Rs 24 lakh from her company, SR Event and Entertainment, into accounts linked to Karan Singh's K Studios. However, the project they planned never saw the light of day. 'Despite repeated contacts, he kept postponing them and lied,' the actor said in her complaint.

She also claimed the funds sent by her to Karan's accounts were instead invested in the production of So Long Valley. 'When I got the information that the film is releasing on July 27, I told him to return my money now, on which he started threatening me,' she alleged. She's also provided her call logs and details of the financial transactions as part of the supporting evidence to her complaint. Ruchi Gujjar is a Haryanvi model who grabbed eyeballs earlier this year when she wore a necklace consisting of Prime Minister Narendra Modi's face to the red carpet of the Cannes Film Festival in France.
