Iconic, that's the word. Alia Bhatt in Gucci's first-ever saree-inspired outfit
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 attention.advertisementThis 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 carpet.Trending Reel

Anush Agarwalla on his retired horse Sir Caramello Old: ‘When he hears sound of my car, he still knows he will be fed his favourite apples and carrots'
It is the start of a new friendship for Sir Caramello Old, at age 18. The Olympian horse retired by Anush Agarwalla, after his Dressage swansong at the Paris Olympics, gets along mighty well with another gelding, 19, Flovinos Feinr Kerl, who also rode last competitively in 2024 and was retired by the Indian equestrian. Now that he's relieved of the regimented lifestyle, and not having to walk and jump and trot and look a certain way, Sir Caramello has found liberation, thanks to Anush. And new friends too. 'Sir Caramello Old has made new friends. Earlier, he was on the field only in the morning; now he is out the whole day since his retirement. He goes out from 11 am to 5 pm with Flovionos Feinr Kerl, who was my second reserve horse,' Anush informs, even as he has moved on to competing with new-old stallion Etro, 11. 'It was not a surprise to retire him. He's 18, that was always the plan to retire him after the Olympics. He did his job. My duty is to return him to where he's happy with his friends. I didn't want to push. He's still fit and healthy, and it's not like I'll never see him again. He's one minute away from where I live in Germany,' Anush explained. The Indian rider drops in every second day, still for 20 odd minutes to check on him, though evenings can be chilly to go out rather than the stables. Anush misses the bond they shared. 'For 5-6 years, he knew the routine. Whenever he heard the sound of my car, he could recognise it was my footsteps. He would neigh, and knew I'd be carrying small treats like apples, carrots, and bananas. Just small memories,' Anush recalls. On their finest moment under the Parisian sun, Anush says that remains the highlight in his career, but the lead-up was exceptionally satisfying. 'What defined our bond was the qualification which was secured almost on the last possible day, on 29 December 2023. We went to the biggest shows, and whenever we competed, he was calm and composed. I miss that bond. It was special,' an emotional Anush says. Anush has moved on to younger horses, like Etro who's been with him awhile, as he prepares for the next Asian Games cycle where he first won a team gold and individual bronze medal on a preening, happily pouting Sir Caramello. 'This year we have moved up to Grand Prix level and want to build momentum.' The Indian ace, however, has more choices to pick from – with Straight Horse Floriana and Flynn added to his stables. 'I have 3 top horses ahead of the World Championship. It depends,' he says, not revealing who his choice might be. Caramello, however, will get his apples and carrots, irrespective, Anush has ensured.

Start Of Something Unforgettable: Alia Bhatt Praises Ranbir Kapoors Fierce Look As Lord Ram in ‘Ramayana'
Mumbai: Actress Alia Bhatt took to social media to react to the first look of Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram in 'Ramayana.' The actress is beyond words after witnessing her husband's transformation for the epic saga. Taking to her Instagram handle, Alia shared the first look teaser from the movie and wrote, 'Some things don't need words. This feels like the start of something unforgettable. Diwali 2026 — we're waiting.' Notably, Alia Bhatt has always been one of Ranbir Kapoor's biggest cheerleaders, both personally and professionally. Whether it's attending his film screenings, sharing heartfelt posts on social media, or speaking fondly of him in interviews, the 'Raazi' actress never misses a chance to celebrate her husband's achievements. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alia Bhatt (@aliaabhatt) On Thursday, the makers dropped the much-awaited first look of Ranbir Kapoor, Sai Pallavi, and Yash from their upcoming film Ramayana. The announcement video opens with a striking portrayal of the holy trinity — Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva — symbolizing the cosmic forces. It then seamlessly shifts, through vivid animation, to reveal the lead characters from the epic tale: Ranbir Kapoor as Lord Ram, Sai Pallavi as Sita, and Yash as the formidable Ravana. The teaser highlights a compelling contrast between Yash's fierce and intense portrayal of Ravana and Ranbir Kapoor's serene and composed depiction of Lord Ram. It also features glimpses of Lord Brahma, Lord Vishnu, and Lord Shiva. Sharing the first look glimpse on Instagram, the makers wrote, 'Ten years of Aspiration. Relentless Conviction to bring the Greatest Epic of all time to the World. An outcome through a collaboration of some of the world's best to ensure that Ramayana is presented with the greatest amount of Reverence and Respect. Welcome to the Beginning. Let's Celebrate the IMMORTAL story of Rama v/s Ravana. Our Truth. Our History.' 'Ramayana, directed by Nitesh Tiwari,' is set for a global release, with Part 1 arriving in Diwali 2026 and Part 2 following in Diwali 2027.
