Meanwhile, Alia's fashion choices at the event drew significant attention online, including a peach-toned bustier gown and an ivory silk saree-gown.
This marks Alia Bhatt's second consecutive appearance at the Cannes Film Festival as a global ambassador for L'Oreal Paris. Last year, she made her Cannes debut in a custom-made gown by Schiaparelli, a look that was widely appreciated by fans and fashion critics alike.
The 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival began on May 12 and will continue until May 23.
