Alia Bhatt is set to make her highly anticipated Cannes debut at the 2025 International Cannes Film Festival, which runs from 13 to 24 May 2025. The actress confirmed the news during a press meet in Mumbai on Thursday, where she was joined by husband Ranbir Kapoor. Keeping her excitement understated, Alia simply said, “I am looking forward to it.”
The Cannes red carpet is no stranger to Bollywood royalty. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor, and Deepika Padukone have long been festival regulars—now, Alia Bhatt is ready to join the ranks.
This latest milestone adds another feather to Alia’s already globe-trotting fashion journey. In 2023, she made headlines with her Met Gala debut, turning heads in a Sabyasachi Mukherjee saree that paid homage to her Indian roots. Later that year, she brought her signature style to Paris Fashion Week, walking the runway for L’Oréal Paris’ “Walk Your Worth” show. Sharing the stage with international icons like Kendall Jenner, Andie MacDowell, and Liya Kebede, Alia stunned in a Gaurav Gupta silver bustier and black jumpsuit, captioning her Instagram post: “A night to uplift, embrace & inspire; because we’re all #worthit.”
At the press meet, the celebrations weren’t just about Cannes. With her 32nd birthday around the corner, Alia cut a cake while Ranbir Kapoor stood by her side. In a sweet moment, Ranbir playfully smeared cream on her nose before planting a kiss on her head, offering fans a glimpse of their off-screen romance.
