Cannes 2026: Alia Bhatt Turns Heads In Jaw-Dropping Peach Gown With Dupatta, Red Carpet Look Goes Viral - PICS

Alia Bhatt returned to the Cannes Film Festival for the second year as a global ambassador for L'Oreal Paris, drawing strong attention with two carefully curated looks. The appearance on 12 May at the opening ceremony marked Alia's first official red carpet outing at Cannes 2026.

The main red carpet moment featured Alia in a custom peach couture gown by Tamara Ralph, styled by Rhea Kapoor. The strapless, body-skimming dress included a sculpted sweetheart neckline with a plunging illusion panel at the centre, highlighting a refined yet dramatic design approach.

Soft chiffon panels trailed from the gown, moving gently as Alia walked, which created a cinematic sense of motion on the red carpet. The pastel peach colour gave the outfit a dreamy, romantic mood, while the structured cut and neat drapes kept the look polished without heavy ornamentation.

Alia matched the gown with a coral-and-diamond necklace that showcased peach-toned stones and a single drop pendant, echoing the dress tone. Makeup stayed understated with peach-pink shades, fine shimmer on the eyes, and nude glossy lips, balancing glamour with a soft finish suitable for the festival setting.

Before the peach gown appearance, Alia chose a different Cannes 2026 look from designer Yash Patil's label, That Antique Piece. The sage-green gown featured a structured corset-style bodice, slim spaghetti straps, and a soft sweetheart neckline, flowing into a voluminous skirt below.

That skirt carried intricate botanical embroidery and a hand-painted tribute to the Riviera, merging illustration and texture across the fabric. Alia kept styling minimal, wearing a relaxed low bun, luminous skin and subtle makeup, with delicate Chopard jewellery and neutral Manolo Blahnik mules that ensured the dress remained central.

Stylist Rhea Kapoor later posted images and styling notes from Cannes 2026, outlining Alia's looks for followers. The appearance builds on Alia Bhatt's debut at the festival in 2025, when Alia wore a custom Schiaparelli gown, and reinforces the continuing partnership with L'Oreal Paris on the international red carpet.
