‘I truly thrive in this sort of chaos’

While sitting in her glam chair, Alia explained how her red carpet look had almost been thrown into disarray as her team of stylists, makeup artists, and hairstylists raced to get her ready in time on May 24.

Alia said in the 5-minute clip, “Today is the closing ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival 2025, and I am getting ready for the red carpet of the closing ceremony. This is my first time at the Cannes Film Festival. I am of course, always excited, a bunch of nerves. I truly thrive in this sort of chaos.”

‘The chaos always tends to find us’

She added, “It's a bit strange, I don't know why, but like the chaos always tends to find us. A couple of minutes ago, we had no electricity for the last four hours. So Amit (Amit Thakur, her hairstylist) over here was actually taking my hair extensions, and he put it on a tong, and he put it out in the sun so that it could heat up because we had no electricity. We figured it out as we're going, but now we're very grateful and thankful that the electricity is back.”

The ensemble consisted of a sleeveless and backless blouse with a plunging neckline, paired with a floor-grazing skirt and a palla-style drape on her shoulder. Alia's look perfectly blended traditional Indian elements with contemporary style, making it a memorable moment at Cannes 2025.
