Cannes 2024: From Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone to Priyanka Chopra, revisit Bollywood actresses’ debut red carpet looks

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is a regular member of the Cannes Film Festival. However, her first appearance at the prestigious event became a hot topic in 2002. She wore a yellow saree from the collections of Neeta Lulla.

Deepika Padukone

Deepika Padukone picked a white gold saree from the Rohit Bal collections for her first appearance at Cannes in 2010. Like Aishwarya, she too chose to go desi for her debut look.

Anushka Sharma

Anushka Sharma rolled down the red carpet by wearing a cream-coloured Richard Quinn dress. The off-the-shoulder dress featured statement 3-D florals on its shoulder while the rest of the dress was covered in geometric and floral embroidery. Her simple yet beautiful look was the winner for a debut appearance.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif made a decent appearance during her first appearance on the red carpet in Cannes. Wearing a black lace strapless Oscar de la Renta evening gown on Day 1, Katrina turned everyone’s heads for good. Her one-side swept red hair in soft waves to her minimal yet bold makeup, the Fitoor actor looked stunning.

Priyanka Chopra

Priyanka Chopra donned a stunning Roberto Cavalli number soaked in black and red ombre glitter during her debut at Cannes in 2019. Flaunting her unconventional fashion, she topped off her beauty look with a graphic winged eye.

Aditi Rao Hydari

Aditi Rao Hydari made a refreshing statement during her debut at Cannes in 2022, on Day 5. Aditi’s gown is from the shelves of designer Mark Bumgarner’s eponymous label.

Diana Penty

Diana Penty made her red carpet debut at the Cannes Film Festival 2019 wearing a beige-coloured off-shoulder gown from the collections of Gauri and Nainika. It was not a flattery look.

Esha Gupta

Esha Gupta made a stunning debut appearance at Cannes in 2023 as she dolled out in a sultry gown from Nicholas Jebran.

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut made everyone’s head turn when she walked the red carpet of Cannes, looking majestic in Zuhair Murad creation. She made a debut in 2018 and it was a winner for sure.

Huma Qureshi

Huma Qureshi stunned the onlookers with a metallic grey Gaurav Gupta gown during her debut on the red carpet in 2019.

Hina Khan

Hina Khan took everyone by surprise when she debuted at Cannes, looking no less than a diva. Wearing a grey shimmery gown with a modest train from Ziad Nakad, Hina totally owned the red carpet.

Mallika Sherawat

Mallika Sherawat made her Cannes debut wearing a white co-ord that turned out to be the most controversial outfit.

Mouni Roy

Mouni Roy made her debut at Cannes in 2023 wearing a beautiful white gown with feathers. It features an off-shoulder dress with a plunging neckline from the shelves of Atelier Zuhra and Pankhuri Harikrishnan.

Manushi Chhillar

Manushi Chhillar attended the opening ceremony of the world’s biggest film festival in a lovely white dress by Fovari. It was quite a dull look to start her Cannes debut look in 2023.

Mrunal Thakur

Mrunal Thakur chose a white cut-out gown from Falguni and Shane Peacock with a long train to make her stunning red carpet debut at Cannes in 2023.

Richa Chadha

Richa Chadha debuted on the red carpet of Cannes wearing a pink dress from Zimmerman creation. Apart from her first appearance at the mega event, her look was even more special because the dress was presented by Ali Fazal.

Sara Ali Khan

Sara Ali Khan too represented India by opting for a traditional attire. Embracing her Indian roots, Sara shines in a gorgeous off-white lehenga from Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla during the inaugural ceremony of the 2023 Cannes Film Festival.

Sonam Kapoor

Sonam Kapoor made her first appearance on the Cannes red carpet in 2011 wearing a Jean Paul Gaultier couture gown. Well, it was quite an underwhelming look especially when she stuns with her red-carpet looks.

Urvashi Rautela

Urvashi Rautela looked like a snow cone as she picked a white ruffle dress Tony Ward for her debut at Cannes in 2023.

Sunny Leone

Sunny Leone walked the red carpet for the first at the screening of Rapito (L’Enlevement/Kidnapped) in a maroon velvet gown. She went all dramatic for her debut look.

Vidya Balan

Vidya Balan debuted on the Cannes red carpet in 2013 in a gold silk saree by Sabyasachi Mukherjee. She too made her first look wearing a saree instead of wearing a gown.
