Alia Bhatt set for Cannes debut in 2025

After making a striking debut at the Met Gala last year, Bollywood star Alia Bhatt is now set for another major moment on the global stage. The Raazi actress has officially confirmed that she will debut at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, joining a prestigious list of Indian icons who have graced its red carpet.

During a recent media interaction in Mumbai, Alia shared her excitement, stating, I am looking forward to it. The 78th Cannes Film Festival, scheduled from May 13 to May 24, has long been a platform for Indian stars. Over the years, celebrities like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, and Sonam Kapoor have made a mark at the event, and Alia is now set to follow in their footsteps.

In 2024, Alia wowed audiences at the Met Gala in a stunning pastel Sabyasachi saree, adorned with intricate embellishments and a dramatic 23-foot train. The outfit beautifully blended Indian tradition with contemporary global fashion.

The Cannes announcement coincided with Alia’s early birthday celebration ahead of her 32nd birthday on March 15. She marked the occasion with husband Ranbir Kapoor, cutting a cake and posing for pictures with the paparazzi. Fans eagerly await her Cannes debut, which promises another unforgettable fashion moment.
