Diana Penty to Aditi Rao Hydari: 5 Bollywood Actresses Who delivered best look at Cannes 2026
Cannes 2026 turned out to be a glamorous, star-studded affair, especially for Bollywood. Indian representation at the French Riviera reached a significant high with B-town divas serving multiple memorable fashion moments. From Alia Bhatt to Aditi Rao Hydari and Diana Penty, here’s looking at actresses who stunned at the 79th Annual Cannes Film Festival.
*Aditi Rao Hydari:* This time too, Aditi Rao Hydari mastered the art of looking seamlessly elegant at Cannes 2026 by going full couture glam in a striking metallic green gown from Tony Ward Couture’s spring/summer 2025 collection, and it instantly became one of the most talked-about looks from the French Riviera. Instead of loading her ensemble with heavy jewellery, Aditi kept it all soft and clean. She styled her hair in loose waves and opted for fresh and understated makeup with dewy cheeks and rosy lips.
*Diana Penty:* For her second appearance, Diana Penty honoured India’s rich craft heritage by donning an experimental outfit by Amit Aggarwal. The design featured bold cut-outs and sculptural details crafted from pleated polymer textile. To complete the look, the Cocktail star added a statement neck choker and exuded drama with makeup, with a beaming highlighter and red-hued eyeshadow.
*Alia Bhatt:* Alia Bhatt stunned in a custom peach couture gown by Tamara Ralph, styled by Rhea Kapoor. The body-hugging strapless gown featured a plunging neckline, while soft chiffon drapes added drama to her overall look. Alia completed her look with a statement coral and diamond neckpiece. For the makeup, the Jigra star kept things soft and elegant with peach-pink tones.
*Huma Qureshi:* Huma Qureshi stunned in a custom black gown designed by Eman Alajlan, featuring a velvet bodice and a deep plunging neckline. The close-fitting structure then transitioned into a sheer skirt with textured details. Qureshi kept accessories minimal with glittering pieces by Ghafari and bold earpieces by Proffini that added just enough sparkle to her look.
*Tara Sutaria:* Tara Sutaria stunned in an elegant ivory Vivienne Westwood gown that screamed timeless elegance. The structured bodice hugged her frame beautifully while maintaining the brand’s corsetry silhouette. Tara accessorised the gown with dazzling diamond-and-emerald jewellery, a statement emerald necklace and chandelier earrings.
