Alia Bhatt made her second appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, and she did not disappoint. At the opening ceremony, she turned heads in a stunning peach gown, keeping her look soft and graceful as always. The look won hearts not just among fans but also at home, with her mother-in-law and veteran actor Neetu Kapoor expressing her approval.
Neetu Kapoor calls Alia’s Cannes look ‘Perfection’
Taking to Instagram, Alia shared a stunning set of pictures from her Cannes red carpet moment. She was dressed in a peach couture gown that hugged her figure beautifully, complete with a sweetheart neckline. Adding an extra touch of elegance to the look, she draped a sheer chiffon cape around her arms, which trailed gracefully behind her as she posed for the cameras. The look clearly won over her mother-in-law Neetu Kapoor, who reposted the pictures on her Instagram stories and simply called it “Perfection,” accompanied by clapping emojis.

She then attended the screening of La Vie d’Une Femme in a striking steel-blue gown that had fans online drawing comparisons to Cinderella-inspired fashion.
