There was a slight Indian touch to Meryl Streep's appearance at the opening ceremony of the 77th Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday night. Streep was honoured with an Honorary Palme d'Or during the opening ceremony of the festival. 

"I'm just so grateful that you haven't gotten sick of my face," Streep humorously remarked while accepting the prestigious award.

For the special night, Sterep chose a satin Dior wrap dress in white and completed her look with an accessory with roots in India. Fashion experts spotted the veteran star wearing stunning earrings which were designed by Indian designer Hanut Singh.

Singh's global recognition, boasting clientele like Madonna, Megan Fox, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Alia Bhatt and Rihanna, stems from his eclectic fusion of diverse influences. Drawing from Mughal and Rajput craftsmanship, European art, and Art Deco architecture, Singh's designs reflect his culturally rich background and lineage as a descendant of the Kapurthala royal family.
