Alia Bhatt makes breathtaking Cannes 2026 red carpet appearance in peach gown with chiffon dupatta, rare coral necklace

Alia Bhatt brought soft-glam magic to Cannes Film Festival 2026 red carpet in a dreamy peach couture gown by Tamara Ralph, styled with rare coral diamonds.

Alia Bhatt is fully embracing her soft-glam era, and her first Cannes Film Festival red carpet appearance this year is proof. Representing L'Oréal Paris at the Cannes 2026 opening ceremony on May 12, the actor turned heads in a dreamy custom peach couture gown by Tamara Ralph, perfectly styled by celebrity stylist Rhea Kapoor.

Alia looked straight out of a dream in a peach-toned couture gown that perfectly balanced elegance, sensuality and sophistication. The figure-hugging ensemble featured a structured strapless bodice with a sculpted sweetheart neckline that dipped into a bold plunge detail, adding a contemporary edge to the otherwise romantic silhouette.

The fitted gown gracefully traced her curves before flowing into a sleek floor-length hem, creating a statuesque look on the red carpet. What truly elevated the outfit, however, was the sheer chiffon dupatta-style cape on her arms, cascading dramatically behind her and adding movement, fluidity and an ethereal charm with every pose.

Alia's statement diamonds and soft-glam beauty

Styled by Rhea Kapoor, the couture ensemble was elevated with striking statement jewellery that brought the perfect touch of sparkle without taking attention away from the gown’s soft, romantic charm. She further accessorised the look with square-cut diamond earrings and a dazzling asscher-cut diamond ring from Chopard.

Sharing details about the exquisite piece on Instagram, Rhea revealed, “The necklace features an extraordinary composition of 168.27 carats of rare pink coral, specially selected to complement the final look with elegance, softness, and individuality. At its centre rests a remarkable 5.53 carat Golconda-type 2A diamond, admired for its rare purity and exceptional brilliance.”

For the glam, Alia chose radiant, luminous skin paired with softly flushed cheeks, subtly shimmery eyes, feathered brows and a muted nude-pink lip colour that enhanced her natural features. Her voluminous side-parted waves cascaded effortlessly around her shoulders, lending the entire look a timeless old-Hollywood feel while perfectly complementing the ethereal elegance of her Cannes appearance.
