After Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Janhvi Kapoor served us some sizzling looks at Cannes 2025, it is now showtime for Alia Bhatt. The actress who made her debut this year has already broken the internet with her first look, and we cannot wait to see what she has in store for us.

Last year at her Met Gala debut, Raha’s mumma proved she loves her Indian roots by putting a Kala teeka behind her years to save her from evil eyes. This year again, she has done that at her Cannes 2025 debut too, and we are loving it! Alia Bhatt looked classy and every bit stylish in a Schiaparelli’s off-shoulder white gown.

Designed with sheer nude fabric, the ensemble clung to her body like a dream. Oh, and that sweetheart neckline can never go unnoticed. Well, when almost everyone has their eyes hooked onto her attire, our attention was divided by that kaala teeka behind her ears. 

Alia Bhatt sports Kala teeka at Cannes 2025 red carpet:


The actress tied a bun that went perfectly with her white floral gown, making that kala teeka even more visible. We bet even today, most of us have had this moment with our parents when they put a kala teeka behind our ears to save us from 'buri nazar'. Looks like Alia just took this tradition to the global stage and aced it like a pro.

This is not the first time we've seen her wearing a kaala teeka on a global stage. Last year at her MET Gala debut, too, the Jigra star rocked the black dot behind her ears to save her from evil eyes. Well, when you look so breathtakingly gorgeous, only a kaala teeka can save you from all those evil eyes. 

Just a few days back, Janhvi Kapoor, who also made her debut at Cannes 2025, took the Indian jugaad route to save herself from 'buri nazar'. She wore a black string on her wrist, and fans were quick to figure out that it is a belief in India to save one from evil eyes. 

Talking about the work front, Alia Bhatt is all set to share the screen space with her husband, Ranbir Kapoor, once again. This time it's for Sanjay Leela Bhansali in his magnum opus, Love & War. Vicky Kaushal will also join them in the film, and we bet fans cannot wait to see this talented trio in one movie.
