Actresses Urvashi Rautela, Deepti Sadhwani and entrepreneur Namita Thapar looked stunning in gowns at this year’s Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday.
Urvashi dazzled in a pink Khaled and Marwan gown, featuring a ruffled tulle shrug and a lacy thigh-high slit. A bejeweled headband, silver bangles with leaf motifs and pink stilettos completed her look. “Festival de Cannes 2024 OPENING CEREMONY with my ultimate fav #MERYLSTREEP,” the 30-year-old actress captioned her pictures posted on Instagram.
Urvashi mentioned Hollywood veteran Meryl Streep’s name in her posts. Streep received an honorary Palme d'Or at the opening ceremony of Cannes and she will be hosting a masterclass as well.
Last year, Urvashi walked the Cannes red carpet multiple times. She looked stunning in a corset gown with peacock feathers cascading down the skirt while walking the red carpet at the screening of Indiana Jones And The Dial of Destiny. A striking blue lip shade complemented her look.
Sadhwani, known for her role in the popular Indian TV comedy series Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, turned heads in a blazing orange off-shoulder gown which has broken records for having the longest trail. Featuring a sweeping furry trail, the gown is from the shelves of Aanchal Dey Couture.
“Honoured to be walking the red carpet for the Opening ceremony of 77th Cannes Film Festival with the record breaking longest trail of gown,” Deepti wrote alongside a picture of her posing for the lens.
Sharing another picture, Deepti gave the credits behind her look and outfit. “Some More from Day 1 at Cannes,” she wrote.
Deepti has appeared in the film Rock Band Party. Apart from Taarak Mehta Ka Ooltah Chashmah, she starred in the TV series Hasya Samrat. She is also known for her songs Butterfly Wale, Toot Jaayein, and Nach Le.
Namita, who is one of the judges on Shark Tank India alongside Aman Gupta, Anupam Mittal, Vineeta Singh and Peyush Bansal, made her Cannes debut in a mint green gown with a thigh-high slit, puffed sleeves and a long trail. Her outfit was created by Lebanese fashion designer Elio Abou Fayssal. Matte red lipstick, smokey eyes and statement jewellery completed her look.
Made in Heaven actress Sobhita Dhulipala and Kiara Adani are set to make their Cannes debut soon. Cannes regular attendee Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will visit the film festival with her daughter Aaradhya. Heeramandi actress Aditi Rao Hydari is also set to make an appearance.
The festival, which began on May 14, will wrap up on May 25 with a final honorary award for Star Wars creator George Lucas.
