Alia Bhatt leaves for Cannes Film Festival in boss babe style, fans say ‘red carpet is not ready’

As the excitement around the Cannes Film Festival begins to build, Alia Bhatt has officially kickstarted her journey to the global event. The actress was spotted at the Mumbai airport in the early hours of Monday as she left for France ahead of her much-awaited appearance at the prestigious film festival. Calm, stylish and camera-ready as always, Alia’s airport fashion once again proved why she remains one of Bollywood’s most-watched style icons.

A relaxed airport look with effortless glamour

Keeping things classy yet comfortable, Alia stepped out in a long black coat layered over a simple white tank top. She paired the look with denim jeans and boots, giving her travel outfit a polished edge without going over the top. With minimal accessories and her signature natural charm, the actress kept her appearance clean, chic and easy-going while still turning heads at the airport.

Fans are now eagerly waiting to see what fashion statement she brings to the red carpet this year. After making a striking debut at Cannes last year, expectations around her second appearance have grown even bigger. From elegant couture gowns to bold beauty moments, Alia’s Cannes fashion diary is already one of the most anticipated celebrity highlights from India this season.

Global stars and Indian glamour set to shine

Speaking about coming back to Cannes, Alia shared that the experience feels deeply special to her. The actress described the festival as a celebration of women, storytelling and creativity, adding that she feels honoured to be part of a platform that champions female voices and empowerment.

Apart from Alia, several international names including Eva Longoria, Jane Fonda and Viola Davis are expected to attend the festival as part of the global ambassador lineup. Representing India alongside Alia will be Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Aditi Rao Hydari, both known for their memorable Cannes appearances over the years.

Scheduled to take place from May 12 to May 23, the festival will once again celebrate cinema, fashion and voices from around the world. Alongside the red carpet glamour, the event will also spotlight women filmmakers through the sixth edition of the Lights on Women’s Worth Award, with Gillian Anderson serving as the juror this year.
