Bollywood prepares to make a stunning impact at Cannes 2025 as Alia Bhatt announces her eagerly awaited red carpet debut, igniting excitement across global fashion and entertainment platforms. The celebrated actress will join the timeless beauty and Cannes regular Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, representing L'Oréal Paris—the official beauty partner for the 28th consecutive year.

Scheduled from May 13 to May 24, the Cannes Film Festival 2025 will spotlight the theme 'Lights, Beauty and Action.' Sharing her excitement, Alia Bhatt expressed, 'First-time moments are unforgettable, and I’m truly honored to debut on the global platform of Cannes—an iconic celebration of film, artistic expression, and creativity.'

Reflecting on the modern meaning of beauty, the Gangubai Kathiawadi star added, “True beauty lies in embracing one’s uniqueness, confidence, and inner strength. I’m honored to represent a brand that uplifts every woman’s personal journey and encourages self-empowerment.”

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the timeless fashion icon and Cannes Film Festival veteran, is all set to mesmerize international audiences once again with her stunning presence on the red carpet in 2025. While both powerhouse actresses are confirmed attendees, it remains unconfirmed whether they will appear together on the red carpet—a moment fans are eagerly waiting for.

Cannes 2025 will feature a star-studded roster of global L’Oréal ambassadors like Viola Davis, Eva Longoria, Jane Fonda, Elle Fanning, Simone Ashley, and Aja Naomi King, celebrating beauty, diversity, and purpose on the world stage.

Dario Zizzi, General Manager of L'Oréal India, stated that Alia Bhatt's inclusion on the international platform highlights the surging global appeal and recognition of Indian cinema worldwide. Her presence reaffirms our brand’s core mission of championing inclusivity and empowering women across the globe.

Professionally, Alia Bhatt is currently shooting for Love & War, a highly anticipated film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, alongside co-stars Ranbir Kapoor and Vicky Kaushal. She will also lead in Alpha, YRF’s upcoming female-led spy thriller, slated for a Christmas 2025 release.
