Alia Bhatt stole the spotlight with her red carpet arrival in a sculpted corseted silhouette at the opening ceremony at the Cannes film festival 2026.

A Poetic Second Appearance
Before arriving on the red carpet, Alia stepped out in a dreamy couture ensemble that looked less like a gown and more like a watercolour painting.
She chose a structured corset-style bodice gown with delicate spaghetti straps and a soft sweetheart neckline from the shelves of Designer Yash Patil’s That Antique Piece.
‘Alia in a hand painted 50s piece, back after a long hiatus for @rheakapoor,’ Patil said.
‘The silhouette takes inspiration from the 1950s, featuring a structured, fitted bodice with a drop waist that leads to a voluminous skirt. The volume is created with layered, sharbati dyed silk organza and tulle petticoats, while the bodice is supported by a corset and angular, structured cups reminiscent of the era.
‘Rhea and @basurii wanted this to be a hand-painted homage to the French Riviera — an atmospheric interpretation of a landscape where land, sea, and sky dissolve into poetic harmony.
‘Inspired by its sunlit coastlines, ethereal palette, native botanicals, and lavender fields. The artwork captures both the visual beauty and emotional essence of this iconic geography. Special thanks to @sanyakapoor who made it all happen truly, who also made me redo a few toiles.’
Alia paired the gown with a softly undone low bun, subtle makeup, and Chopard’s delicate jewellery.
Karan Johar writes in the comments, ‘Just so so beautiful baby girl!’
