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.

Natasha attended the amfAR gala at Cannes on Thursday wearing a strapless gold gown from Balenciaga with the whimsical coffee-mug bag by the label. The gown was good but I wasn’t loving the hairdo/makeup here.

Take her orange Bottega Veneta outing though, she looked fabulous there.

Janhvi attended the amfAR Gala at Cannes 2025 wearing a vintage YSL velvet jacket with custom skirt from Anamika Khanna paired with Jimmy Choo pumps and a statement wide brim fascinator. Rhea did what Rhea does best, mixing vintage with a touch of Indian and Janhvi did look great. But given the Spring season and the French Riveira locale, the look as a whole just felt way too heavy to me.

Aishwarya’s second red carpet outing was in a strapless gown by Gaurav Gupta gown featuring a contrast colored cape train. I didn’t care for the sari outing one bit but got no complaints here. She looked drop dead gorgeous!

Aishwarya walked the red carpet at Cannes on Wednesday afternoon wearing an ivory sari from Manish Malhotra and jewellery also by the designer. While it was nice to see Ms. Rai wear a sari to the red carpet, the material of the sari itself looked so un-luxurious that it was hard to like it.
