Alia Bhatt takes over the streets in a clean and summery look

Alia Bhatt opted for a summer-inspired glam look for her first appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. The star kept her look clean and fresh in a green pastel watercolor dress. The bespoke attire features a mesmerising palette of pastel green, soft lavender, sky blue, and hints of yellow.

The National Award-winning actress looked right out of a French painting in soft patterns and the leaves creeping up to the bodice of her bespoke creation. Keeping up with her love for romantic structures, Bhatt’s dress features a delicate sweetheart neckline with noodle straps, making her look accentuated. With a cinched waist that glows into a voluminous, long gown, she nailed the first look like a boss!

To keep all eyes glued to her pastel look, she opted for minimal but impactful accessories. She wore a pair of heart-shaped yellow diamond studs with a matching finger ring. With a minimal look, Alia quietly served high fashion on the streets. She completed her dreamy ensemble with a pair of white heels and a sleek high bun with soft, romantic waves.

As for her makeup, the Darlings actress went with a dewy base with shiny eyes and her signature pink lips. Earlier, Alia was spotted in a semi-formal Carolina Herrera outfit. She stunned in a sharply tailored all-black set that featured a structured blazer with cinched-waist detailing and slightly puffed shoulders, paired perfectly with matching capri pants.

Alia kept her look effortless with soft, center-parted waves and a glowing, no-makeup makeup look. This marks Alia’s second year at Cannes, and the excitement is palpable. After her Schiaparelli debut and custom Gucci saree-inspired look last year, the world is waiting to see what she brings to the red carpet this year.
