Cannes 2024: From Jacqueliene Fernandez to Prateik Babbar, Indian Celebs Whom You Didn’t Expect At The Red Carpet
Cannes 2024: As the Festival de Cannes is heading toward its conclusion, the talk of the town or should we say, the talk of the French Riviera, were the breathtaking debutants gracing the event donning their culture with grace at the Red Carpet. What caught more attention were the Indian celebrities and famous personalities with their exquisite collections and outfits that were acknowledged by the viewers. While we had Aishwarya Rai Bachchan appearing in a Falguni Shane Peacock gown, Kiara Advani stole our hearts with her deep neck thigh high slit gown by designer Prabal Gurung, followed by the black and pink bow gown accessoried with black lace gloves, and BVLGARI jewelleries.
Several influencers also made their much awaited debut, including Ankush Bahuguna, Nancy Tyagi, RJ Karishma, and others. However, many Bollywood celebs and influencers went unnoticed in the 77th edition of Festival de Cannes. Let us take a look.
