Disha Madan shines in desi-inpired look at Cannes 2026
Disha stepped onto the iconic red carpet in a custom corset-style gown crafted entirely from two 80-year-old vintage sarees, proving once again that Indian craftsmanship never goes out of style.
Designed by Label Niharika Vivek, the multi-toned ensemble featured a structured corset-inspired bodice with a halter neckline, a sweetheart-cut front, and a dramatic backless design that added a bold edge to the otherwise heritage-inspired look. The fitted silhouette then flowed seamlessly into a fishtail-style skirt that created graceful movement on the red carpet.
