Styled by Rhea Kapoor, the actor kept her look polished yet sleek, wearing a figure-hugging, tube-style gown laced with bright, small, intricately placed stones that shimmered from afar as she graced the carpet. The upper part of the gown stood out with blue gemstones and clean lines, that felt right out of a celestial theme and matched the headpiece she was spotted in, paired with matching earrings and a diamond ring on her hand, all while keeping her overall look clean. A post shared by DietSabya® (@dietsabya) The actor sealed her appearance with a no-makeup look, no bold lipstick or strong colour tones in sight. The gown felt like a natural extension of Armani's celebrated couture legacy from its 2025 Fall collection, just days after his exhibition opened in Milan, celebrating 20 years of craftsmanship. Alia's look recreated the same timeless artistry seen in pieces worn by the likes of Cate Blanchett and Irina Shayk. A post shared by ✮ (@archivesalia) Alia's look was dedicated to the L'Oréal Paris initiative that started back in 2021 to honour promising female short filmmakers as part of their annual award event that takes place in the French Riviera every year. According to the website, '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.'

Alia Bhatt's British Citizenship Under Fire After Soni Razdan's India-Pakistan ‘Hostilities' Post
Last Updated: Alia Bhatt holds British citizenship. While she was born and raised in India, her mother, Soni Razdan, is of British descent and was born in the UK. Bollywood star Alia Bhatt's British citizenship has once again been questioned by netizens after her mother Soni Razdan amplified a petition, asking India and Pakistan to 'stop the hostilities'. Sharing the petition on her official Instagram account, Soni wrote, 'Above all – PEACE Sign the petition. Link in bio." While she later deleted her post after facing a massive backlash, netizens are still upset with her, with many questioning her and Alia's loyalty towards the nation. One user wrote on Soni's latest Instagram post, 'While peace is the ideal goal, it's important to acknowledge who is truly escalating the conflict. Our soldiers are conducting targeted operations with utmost care, while the other side is openly attacking residential areas and killing civilians. Urging peace without context, especially when our people are dying and defending our borders, feels disconnected from ground reality. Also, this message coming from someone whose daughter enjoys all the privileges of India while holding foreign citizenship raises concerns about sincerity and accountability." Responding to the user, Soni wrote, 'My appeal for peace was not towards India but towards Pakistan. They are the aggressors after all. We are simply retaliating and rightly so. I think people have jumped to conclusions. Also it was more a generalised statement. Hope that clarifies. I'm as devastated as everyone else naturally. War is a terrible thing. No one who has been through a war would wish it on anyone." Another one said, 'Can't believe you were a part of movie like Raazi. Please re-watch your own film. And then advocate for peace." To which, the veteran actress replied, 'Peace has to be between 2 nations unless you think this is a war Pak is fighting with itself?" Is Alia Bhatt a British Citizen? Alia Bhatt holds British citizenship. While she was born and raised in India, her mother, Soni Razdan, is of British descent and was born in the UK. Alia has a British passport, which she obtained through her mother's citizenship. While promoting her Hollywood debut Heart of Stone, Alia Bhatt confirmed that she holds British citizenship. She stated that her mother was born in Birmingham and while she was born and raised in India, she still holds a British passport. This confirmation came during a video interview with her co-star Gal Gadot for Wired, where the Wonder Woman star asked about Alia's citizenship status. In 2019, Soni Razdan had also revealed that she owns a British citizenship, but claimed that she had been a responsible citizen of India as well. Reacting to the harsh comments, the actress had tweeted, 'Urging people to vote against hate has nothing to do with citizenship and everything to do with being a human being. We are all human beings first and citizens of the world we live in. Secularism and democratic principles are values and it's those that I stand for. #VoteOutHate." In another post, she had said, 'My father is Indian. Lived in India since I was 3 months old. Pay taxes. Hold an Overseas Citizen of India card. If my hard earned income is good enough to be used to better this nation then I have a right to voice my opinions too. #VoteOutHate." First Published:

'I'm wide awake and I'm dreamin'/ Wonderin' where and when I fell apart/ Oh, I fell apart/ I had enough of my demons/ Angels only meet you where you are,' he sang emotionally, his voice powerful, during the chorus from the track about some very dark days in his life. As he belted out the chorus, Bunnie XO, who is married to the country star, sang along in the audience. 'And I'm in the dark/ Least for now, Lord, I ain't losin' hope/ That somehow you can make a heart of gold/ From this heart of stone.'

The cameras then shifted to Shaboozey, who stood alone as he began his new single, the two men's collaboration 'Amen,' off the 'A Bar Song (Tipsy)' singer's Where I've Been, Isn't Where I'm Going. After the chorus, Jelly joined in as he walked through the crowd, giving Wynonna Judd a hug before he made his way onto the stage next to 'Boozey to finish the upbeat tune as Keith Urban and Nicole kidman sang along from the audience.

Jelly Roll — who is nominated for entertainer of the year, male artist of the year and album of the year for his Billboard 200 chart-topper Beautifully Broken — spoke about 'Heart of Stone' while appearing on The Jennifer Hudson Show in April. 'I love the lyrics of this song,' he explained to the host, specifically pointing out the lyrics to the second verse. 'When I hear 'Lord, can you hear me? I'm shackled in these chains/ I'm haunted by the lies of every time I said I'd change.' Wow, that just reminds me of all the times that I went and looked in the mirror and said, 'I'm gonna be different today' and I wasn't different that day. … It still gives me goosebumps and it makes me want to stand up and do something about it. It makes me want to quit being a man that puts it off and start being a man that does it right now.' Country icon and 16-time ACM Awards winner Reba McEntire is the host of the show; it is her 18th time helming the ceremony. The show streamed live on Amazon's Prime Video.
