Aditi Rao Hydari mixes Indian jewellery with bold neon fashion at Cannes 2026

Actor Aditi Rao Hydari grabbed attention at the ongoing Cannes Film Festival 2026 with another striking red carpet appearance. Representing L'Oréal Paris for the fourth consecutive year, the actor attended the premiere of El ser querido in a bold neon lime green couture gown.

As several Indian celebrities continue making appearances at Cannes this year, including Alia Bhatt and Huma Qureshi, Aditi’s latest look quickly became a major talking point across social media platforms.

For the red carpet event, Aditi wore a custom outfit from Lebanese designer Tony Ward’s Spring Summer 2025 collection. The silk charmeuse gown featured an asymmetrical off shoulder neckline along with a crystal embellished corset style bodice. The structured silhouette wrapped around her frame through layered pleating, giving the outfit a sculpted appearance.

The gown also featured a thigh high slit and a flowing cape detail that trailed behind her as she walked the red carpet. While the outfit leaned heavily towards contemporary couture, stylist Sanam Ratansi balanced the look with Indian jewellery elements.

Instead of choosing conventional diamonds, Aditi accessorised the outfit with a Nivaah Polki neckpiece from Indriya Jewels. She paired the look with metallic heels by Alexandre Birman, creating a mix of global fashion and Indian craftsmanship.

To maintain focus on the outfit’s colour and structure, the actor kept her beauty look minimal. Her hair was pulled back into a sleek hairstyle, while the makeup included a dewy base, feathered brows and nude lips. The styling choice received significant reactions online, with several fashion pages discussing the combination of dramatic couture and traditional jewellery.

Aditi Rao Hydari has remained one of the regular Indian faces at Cannes over the past few years through her association with L'Oréal Paris. Earlier this week, she had also shared behind the scenes glimpses from her hotel room before her Cannes appearance, giving followers a look into fittings, preparations and quieter moments before stepping onto the international red carpet.

Her latest outing continues India’s strong fashion presence at Cannes 2026, where several actors and filmmakers have already marked their appearances this year.
