Payal started Cannes with a Payal Khandwala and ended her Cannes jury duties again in a Payal Khandwala, this time wearing a silver shirt and skirt set with a neckpiece also from the label. I was loving the hairdo here as well.

Alia walked the closing ceremony of Cannes wearing a custom creation from Gucci that she is a brand ambassador for. I think the flex that her and the stylist were going for was, look we got Gucci to create us a lehenga except that rhinestone GG logo along the border and the mesh design was tacktastic! Also, we have so many amazing designers who make lehengas way better so I never get this need to get an international label to create an Indian garment.

Back from Cannes, Aishwarya was spotted arriving back in Mumbai sporting her what’s becoming her signature, an all-black look in a Dhruv Kapoor shirt, coat, leggings and sneakers.

Alia’s second outing on Friday was at an awards event for the makeup brand that she is an ambassador for and at the event she was seen in another strapless gown, this one by Armani Privè. As you can see she also chose to wear the runway mesh headpiece which in my opinion didn’t work for her.

Alia walked the red carpet on Friday afternoon wearing a custom gown from Schiaparelli styled by Rhea. The gown was modified from the version presented at the 2025 Couture collection and for some reason the end result feels like a watered down Schiaparelli than an original. Add to that this baby hair styling which to me was bordering on black culture appropriation. Overall, I was not feeling this.
I may be the minority here but as always it just feels more like Ms. Kapoor is so busy going for shock via name value or vintage label sourcing, it doesn’t feel like she factors in at all the person who will eventually wear it.
