Videos have started going viral on social media as Alia Bhatt stuns fans with her first look during the Cannes Film Festival. She can be seen wearing a simple gown that looks like it could work in the Met Gala because of how on-theme it is. The dress is a ball gown with a scene printed on it.

The clash of blues, greens and yellows makes her look like she’s a fairy princess walking through a garden. Her French bun is also looking sleek, adding to her look and making her look like royalty in the most minimal way possible. It has a sweetheart neckline and spaghetti straps.

Even her makeup is simple, complementing her look. Fans have also been extremely impressed by how stunning she looks. They were comparing her to Aubrey Hepburn and princesses like Cinderella. Others even suggested that she looked like Aishwarya Rai, making up for her current absence.

Held in Cannes, France, the film festival is one of the most prestigious global events for the film industry. It gives the opportunity to filmmakers, be it commercial or independent, to showcase their work and set the tone for movies in the upcoming year.

This year, alongside Alia Bhatt, the attendees include Aishwarya Rai, Karan Johar, Tara Sutaria, Mouni Roy, and Ammy Virk.
