Alia Bhatt is all set to debut at Cannes 2025 which kicked off on May 13. Earlier she was expected to grace the red carpet at the film festival on its opening day. However, citing the rising tensions between India and Pakistan due to Operation Sindoor, she postponed her debut at Cannes. According to India Today, “Alia took this decision considering the tension at the borders. The Raazi actor did not feel it was right to go to Cannes at such a crucial time... her team is closely following the situation... she might look at another date to attend.”

Like Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Alia Bhatt will represent the global cosmetic brand L’Oreal, Paris. Earlier Alia Bhatt had said, “It is such an honour to represent L’Oréal Paris at the Festival... To me, beauty is about celebrating individuality, confidence, and self-worth.”

Did Cannes 2025 new dressing format impact Alia Bhatt’s decision?

Although that is the supposed official narrative about Alia Bhatt postponing her Cannes 2025 debut, smart web users have pointed out that it can be because of the recently introduced strict rules about outfits by the Cannes officials.

Did Cannes 2025 new dressing format impact Alia Bhatt’s decision?

Although that is the supposed official narrative about Alia Bhatt postponing her Cannes 2025 debut, smart web users have pointed out that it can be because of the recently introduced strict rules about outfits by the Cannes officials.

The new guidelines have asked the guests to avoid nudity and wearing voluminous outfits as well as those with long trails. Alia Bhatt has not disclosed what she is wearing at this Festival but many web users believe that her decision to delay her appearance at the Cannes can be mostly because the trail of her gown may have been long and now needs to be adjusted according to the new regulations.

Speculations are adrift on social media that Alia Bhatt and her stylist as well as fashion designer are trying to come up with the best outfit for the actress amid this panic situation.

They will have to design a new look for Alia Bhatt and it may take some time. That is why the actress seems to have postponed her debut at the Cannes 2025. However several web users have outlined that although the new rules for outfits were announced by Cannes officials just a day ago before it kick-started, they most probably had intimated about the same to the guests who were listed to appear on the red carpet.
