It’s that time of the year when we get to witness the beauty and grandeur of one of the most prestigious and widely publicised film festivals in the world, the Cannes Film Festival! Held annually in the French Riviera, Festival de Cannes has evolved into a grand celebration of cinema, art, culture, fashion, and business. This 10-day cultural spectacle attracts filmmakers, celebrities, and creators from around the globe.
In recent years, the Cannes Film Festival has witnessed an increasing presence of Indian influencers and content creators. This shift reflects the booming creator economy in India. While celebrating the stellar work of the many talented filmmakers, the one thing everyone has their eyes on is “Fashion at Cannes“. We love to see those extravagant couture looks and fits, created by fine designers.
The French Riviera is buzzing with celebrities from across the globe who have arrived at the Palais des Festivals et des Congrès. From Meryl Streep to Greta Gerwig, the who’s who of the industry strutted across the Cannes Red Carpet on Day 1. It was quite heartwarming to see some of our coveted creators be a part of this novel event. They attended the screening of ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’. And they brought their A-game to Cannes with their ultra-glam and fashionable looks!
Let’s take you through the Cannes 2024 Day 1 Looks of our Indian creators:
Ankush Bahuguna and his alter ego Wing It With Ankush chose to put the spotlight on Indian Heritage in a Karan Torani ensemble. He was dressed by the celebrated Indian designer and founder of Torani Tribe, Karan Torani, and styled by the ace celebrity stylist Akshay Tyagi.
The ensemble exudes a young heritage vibe, consisting of an embroidered scarf with floral imprints. This was paired with a leopard-printed cape-cum-overcoat over a well-coordinated purple tunic and trousers with a pair of boots.
What sealed the deal for us was that ombré touch to his eyebrows! Ankush Bahuguna has definitely made history as the first Indian male beauty influencer to attend Cannes. Highlighting rich Indian handlooms in his debut at the French Riviera was a fitting choice.
Deepti Sadhwani made headlines wearing a custom outfit with the longest trail gown at the Cannes Film Festival 2024. She decided to wear her friend’s homegrown brand to the event. She sat on the entire planning of the outfit and did several trials to have the perfect look for the last 60 days. Talking about the idea behind the long free-flowing trail, Deepti said, “I wanted to wear an outfit which represented my individuality and depicts my free spirit.“
The cape itself took around 45 days to make with a 300 mt. fabric and a 400 cm long trail. 4 craftsmen worked day in and night out on the outfit. The gown is hand embroidered representing Indian hand handwork by artisans. “I choose the orange colour since it signifies happiness, optimism and enthusiasm which goes well with my personality,” said Deepti. We totally look forward to all her next looks now!
From Kandivali to Cannes, Viraj Ghelani sure has come a long way and we couldn’t be more proud! He is looking truly dapper in the black and white checkered suit created by Alok and Harsh.
RJ Karishma donned this sequined gown and looked absolutely stunning at the electrifying after-party of ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’. What a doll! The Nour By Neharika gown accentuates her curves so well.
Somebody get mirchi so that Niharika NM ko nazar naa lage! Dressed like a lemon drop, she looks powerful yet fun in this Safiyaa dress. From the graphic eye makeup to the gold accessories, every element of her outfit is giving!
The Internet’s heart-throb, Ayush Mehra brought his cute-boy charm to the Festival de Cannes. Going classic in a black and white suit, he just knows how to win everyone’s hearts!
The Queen of Fashion Influencing, Masoom Minawala Mehta graced the Cannes Film Festival while pregnant! Not one to sleep on representing India at a global event, Masoom made it to Cannes in the elegant emerald green Victoria Beckham dress paired with a Bulgari bag.
If Barbie went brown, she would look like Aastha Shah did at Cannes Day 1! Look at that gorgeous gown from Dolly J! Princess feels, for real.
The ultimate cutie Vishnu Kaushal adorned a pristine ‘AFEW by Rahul Mishra‘ floral suit at Cannes 2024. “Who’s gonna tell the 20 year old me, he will be shooting at on a beach in cannes” wrote Vishnu in his caption. We’re so happy to see him reach greater heights!
Rahi Chaddha knows his fashion. He experiments with silhouettes, fabrics, styles, and whatnot! We still remember his red-hot look from last year at Cannes. And this time he has taken it a notch higher with this look by LUAR and diamonds by Tasaki. He wanted to match the drama and production of the thrilling screening of Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga World by George Miller.
Raj Shamani is serving lewks with this custom Minizmo outfit. The finance influencer, entrepreneur, and podcaster sure knows how to clean up well and surprise his fans with this fashionable look on Day 1 at Cannes. Also those camera angles, dayum!
One of the ace finance entrepreneurs and creators, Sharan Hegde made his Cannes debut in a white graphic, asymmetric jacket with black detailing. The founder of the One Percent Club knows his fashion as well as his finance.
Founder of Finnet Media and finfluencer, Ayush Shukla is ready to party in this fiery outfit at the Cannes Film Festival 2024. He is seen wearing a jacket from ‘Diermeiss by the Dragon Lady‘ and his top and pants are from ‘hollow‘.
Founder of Your Food Lab, Chef Sanjyot Keer looked super chic in that all-black look. The black leather jacket elevates the look, giving it an edge.
We are totally enjoying watching our Indian creators shine bright at Festival de Cannes this year in the most stylish ensembles! Cannot wait for everyone’s next looks to drop!
