Hooded couture is all the rage and Indian divas are slaying the trend left, right and centre. See for yourself
Hooded outfits have found a special place on the red carpet as well as in the hearts of celebrities across the globe. The latest example of the same is content creator and youth icon Nancy Tyagi’s glittery creation for her second appearance at the 77th Cannes Film Festival. Today, let’s revisit some of the most iconic hooded couture donned by our very own gorgeous Indian divas:
Priyanka Chopra Jonas
Who can ever forget Priyanka Chopra Jonas’ iconic burgundy velvet gown, custom-made by Ralph Lauren at the 2018 Met Gala? She completed her angelic look by pairing this work of art with a bejewelled hood, studded with red Swarovski crystals and gold beads
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Last year, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked the 76th Cannes Film Festival red carpet in a hooded Sophie Couture gown. The internet was divided over the aluminium look of the silver gown, but the huge hood over her poker-straight hair and the actor’s ability to pull it off at an international event received a big thumbs-up
Uorfi Javed
Fashion icon Uorfi Javed is well known for her out-of-the-box thinking and unique creations. Well, one such unexpected outing was her sexy micro-mini green dress for a red carpet event in the city. She went backless while the hood over her head strategically covered her modesty
Nancy Tyagi
At Cannes 2024, Nancy made our country and her many fans proud when she walked in for a special event in this glam saree featuring intricate hand embroidery. She shopped the beautiful fabric in her city, designed the outfit and sewed up the saree as well as the hood with her own hands. Now that’s called sheer talent!
Mrunal Thakur
Last year actor Mrunal Thakur made a stunning debut at Cannes 2023. For one of her looks at the French Riviera, she opted for ‘hooded glamour couture’ with this Anamika Khanna creation which featured an asymmetrical hem and turtleneck detailing. It wasn’t her best look from the trip, but it was a good attempt
Mallika Sherawat
For her appearance at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival, Indian actor Mallika Sherawat rocked a bodycon floor-length gown in a pastel nude shade, with a hood over her head. It was very unexpected and her chic look was definitely ahead of its time
Giorgia Andriani
This week, actor and Arbaaz Khan’s ex-girlfriend Giorgia Andriani dropped jaws with his sultry birthday suit. She went backless in this gold mini-dress which had an elaborate hood covered in shiny sequins, perfectly matching her outfit and aura
