The buzzworthy sari-inspired Gucci gown of Alia Bhatt at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 has become a head-turner. The Jigra actress graced the red carpet wearing this nude-hued monogrammed GG sari by Gucci. Her look at the Cannes closing ceremony opened the new path of grace and glamour for her fans to swoon over. The outfit was styled by Rhea Kapoor and Gucci’s first creation with an iconic Indian silhouette.
But before heading to the closing ceremony and getting the most buzz-worthy look, there was chaos surrounding the behind-the-scenes. Who would believe the glamorous actress had “chaos” before heading to the closing ceremony of Cannes 2025?
Alia Bhatt reveals the chaos in one of the videos shared by Vogue Magazine on May 26, 2025, on YouTube. She said how she faced a power cut in her hotel while getting ready and stated, “I truly thrive in this sort of chaos.” While sitting in her glam chair, she explained how the red carpet look had almost been thrown into disarray as her team of stylists, makeup artists, and hairstylists raced to get her ready in time on May 24.
‘The chaos always tends to find us’
In that 5-minute clip, Bhatt said how excited she is to attend the Film Festival but chaos tends to find her. She added, “It’s a bit strange, I don’t know why, but like the chaos always tends to find us.” Because in the video she mentioned a couple of minutes ago, the hotel had no electricity for the last four hours.
For this, her hairstylist took hair extensions to the sun to heat up and at least tried to keep running ahead of time. But somehow everything turned out well and we apparently saw the beauty and elegance that Alia pulled out with her graceful look in a Gucci sari.
The Cultural Representation and Fashion Interpretation of the Outfit
As the outfit has magnetized the visions, it has also gone through some controversies. The Gucci sari-influenced gown highlighted the complexities of cultural representation of global fashion. The outfit is named sari but apparently represents “lahenga” or a “gown” in three pieces. For this reason, Gucci later clarified that the outfit ensemble was not a sari but something that is inspired by Indian traditional custom that resembles a lehenga or a gown.
What was the inspiration?
For the look and confidence, Alia credited veteran actress Aishwarya Rai. Bhatt appreciated Aishwarya’s iconic appearance at Cannes for decades. In one of her interview, Alia said how Aishwarya has always been her huge inspiration and she has grown up watching Aishwarya walking the red carpet.
Conclusion
Alia Bhatt’s collaboration with Gucci at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 has great fashion influence on people. The outfit showcased a successful blend of culture and fashion flair. But something usual can sometimes be challenging. The actress shared in one of the videos how she faced problems in getting the look due to a power cut in the hotel for 4 hours. Yet, the team and Alia managed to showcase elegance and represent fashion merged with culture in the global arena.
