Story highlights

Alia Bhatt looked straight out of a Disney story as she made her second red carpet appearance on Wednesday at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. Alia attended the screening of La Vie D’Une Femme dressed in a Daniel Frankel outfit. 

It’s giving Disney Princess. For her second appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2026 red carpet, Alia Bhatt chose an icy blue-grey gown that gave out a Disney princess Cindrella or Else vibe. There was a hint of Disney but more couture and high fashion for her look.

Alia attended the screening of La Vie D’Une Femme dressed in a dreamy outfit that had a sculpted bodice and a tulle skirt. The fitted corset-style upper half accentuated her figure, and the rest of the flowy tule skirt gave the outfit an overall princess effect. The gown was designed byDaniel Frankel.

Alia also chose understated jewellery. A sheer mesh choker complemented the detailing along the neckline, while teardrop-shaped diamond earrings and a pendant added elegance to her look, making the outfit truly worthy of the Cannes red carpet.

Alia’s hair was tied in a messy bun, and her makeup was minimal, letting her gown take centre stage.
