The 78th Cannes Film Festival opened with a mix of glamour and glitz, and Bollywood actress Urvashi Rautela surely made a statement. Known for her bold fashion choices, Urvashi showed up on the red carpet wearing a colorful gown and eye-catching makeup. While she certainly got people talking, her look didn’t quite impress everyone.
A Gown Full of Color
Urvashi attended the opening night for the screening of her film Partir un jour (Leave One Day). She wore a strapless gown bursting with multiple colors—shades of blue, green, white, black, and more. The gown had a peplum-style design that flared at the waist and hugged her figure all the way down.
The back of the dress stood out the most. It featured dramatic tulle fabric that spread out gracefully from both sides, adding a dramatic effect. But the overall look felt a bit too loud for many fashion watchers. The combination of so many bright colors made it feel overwhelming rather than elegant.
Shiny Accessories That Stole the Show
If the gown was bold, her accessories were even bolder. Urvashi wore a multi-colored crown, which instantly drew attention. Some felt it added too much shine, taking away from the beauty of the outfit itself.
But one accessory that did get a lot of love was her parrot-shaped clutch bag by Judith Leiber. Valued at over Rs 4.6 lakh (₹467,895), the bag was playful and stylish. It perfectly matched her long, dangling earrings, which had similar colors and charm.
Tacky Makeup Choices?
When it came to her makeup, Urvashi seemed to go all out. She chose shimmery purple and blue eyeshadow, paired with winged eyeliner and sparkly face stones. Her cheeks were highlighted with blush, and her lips had a shiny pink gloss. Her hair was left open in loose curls, dyed a blonde shade, adding volume to the look.
While the effort was clear, many felt the makeup was just too much. It didn’t balance well with the already vibrant gown and flashy accessories. Instead of highlighting her natural beauty, it looked overdone.
Mixed Reactions From Fashion Critics
Urvashi Rautela’s look at the Cannes 2025 red carpet received mixed reviews. While some appreciated her confidence and bold choices, others thought the look was too flashy and lacked grace. Her makeup, in particular, was called “tacky” by many social media users.
However, her accessories, especially the parrot clutch, received a lot of praise. It was fun, unique, and added a creative touch to her appearance.
