Huma Qureshi Cannes Red Carpet Looks
She shared glimpses of her look on Instagram and cheekily captioned the post, “Catch me if you Cannes."
Huma opted for a custom gown designed by Eman Alajlan. The dress featured a deep plunging neckline and a structured velvet bodice that contoured her figure gracefully. The close-fitting shape then transitioned into a full, sheer skirt that came with fine textured details and delicate floral accents. The mix of opulent velvet and lightweight sheer material produced a wonderful contrast.
The gown's commanding silhouette was enhanced further by thoughtfully selected accessories. Huma completed the look with polished heels from Jimmy Choo. She kept accessories minimal, choosing glittering pieces from Ghafari and bold earrings from Proffini that supplied just enough sparkle without overshadowing the dress.
Styled by Leepakshi Ellawadi, the entire fashion statement embraced restrained glamour with a contemporary feel. Instead of relying on heavy layering or showy accessories, the styling let the gown's shape and artistry remain the focal point.
Her beauty game comprised a soft glam defined by dewy skin, bronzed cheeks, gentle contouring, winged liner, voluminous lashes and glossy nude lips. A hint of highlighter brought luminosity to her sun-kissed complexion. The actress styled her hair in loose curls, while a side-parting framed her face beautifully and added a vintage-inspired grace. Neutral polished nails were the final touch to the refined appearance.
Huma Qureshi Turned Heads In A Banarasi Saree
Earlier, Huma Qureshi made a major statement for Indian textile heritage by choosing a handwoven saree for her Cannes look. The actress wore a muted mauve silk Banarasi saree by Shanti Banaras. The drape was adorned with antique gold zari work featuring elephants alongside modern palm tree motifs inspired by the French Riviera.
She paired it with a polished, structured gold brocade blouse, traditional gold polki jewellery and a metallic handbag by Rene Caovilla.
