Her Cannes appearance comes shortly after rumors circulated that she might skip the festival in solidarity with India following the tragic Pahalgam terror attack. Putting those speculations to rest, Alia graced the red carpet with grace and confidence.
Speaking about her debut, Alia expressed her enthusiasm in a media interaction, saying, “There’s something absolutely special about firsts — and I’m so excited to make my Festival de Cannes debut this year, an iconic celebration of cinema and self-expression.”
Representing L’Oréal Paris at Cannes, she added, “To me, beauty is about celebrating individuality, confidence, and self-worth. It’s limitless, it’s unique. I’m proud to stand with a brand that celebrates every woman’s journey and empowers them to shine in their own light.”
With her radiant debut, Alia Bhatt made a powerful statement—not only through fashion but also by representing confidence and empowerment on an international stage.
