When Alia Bhatt made her debut at the Cannes 2025 red carpet, everyone dubbed her dress "Gucci's first ever saree." But was that the reality?

Alia Bhatt At Cannes 2025: She Did Not Wear A Saree?
Alia Bhatt wore a beautiful nude and silver shade crystal embroidered dress on the Cannes 2025 red carpet. The actress wore a plunging V-neckline blouse with a skirt and extra cloth added on one side of her arm. Instantly, fans dubbed the dress to be "Gucci's first ever saree." However, some believed it was a lehenga since the Indian Lehenga has a three-piece ensemble.
Gucci's official Instagram page uploaded Alia Bhatt's picture. It explained the actress dress, "Global Brand Ambassador Alia Bhatt attended the closing ceremony of the 78th Cannes Film Festival in a custom Gucci gown with embroidered crystals in a GG Monogram pattern." Seeing Gucci define Alia Bhatt's dress to be a gown and not a lehenga or a saree, a fan said, "Umm that gown is called a sari. At least give credit to the cultures that wear it proudly. Guccis take is beautiful but saying gown is insulting the Indian woman rocking it."
Another urged Gucci, "Hello @gucci 🙌 please correct it this is not a gown it's a lehenga with three pieces how can you say that it's gown🙌 yes third pic is gown not first pic I love wearing us lehenga." Another angry fan asked Gucci, "It's a SAREE @gucci if you design one then how do you make an error in calling it what it is.💯."
