The actress received massive thumbs-down after wearing a look similar to Gigi Hadid’s from 2023.
Making headlines again, and not for all the right reasons this time either, is actress UrvashiRautela. She made her appearance on the red carpet at Cannes 2026, but her look didn’t win hearts on the internet, garnering massive thumbs-down comments. She was seen wearing a look similar to Gigi Hadid from NMACC (Nita MukeshAmbani Cultural Centre) 2023.
UrvashiRautela tries to do a Gigi Hadid look from 2023; netizens are not impressed.
Recently, at the Cannes Film Festival 2026, UrvashiRautela wore an outfit that resembled Gigi Hadid’s from her visit to India in 2023. Among the looks adorned by Aditi Rao Hydari and Huma Qureshi, it was Urvashi’s look that has everyone talking. She wore an ivory saree with a golden border, paired with an ornate, bright gold blouse. With that, she also carried what looked like a plastic flower pot on her arm. The internet quickly noted that her look was similar to that of supermodel Gigi Hadid at the NMACC gala in 2023.
Instagram fashion watchdog Diet Sabya makes a post on Urvashi’s outfit.
Diet Sabya posted about the ‘gandi copy.’ It read, “I say URVA, you say … sheeeee err … GIGI??? Only the First Lady of the Universe/world/dubai/billion/1300 cr could have performed this level of fashion necromancy to bring back Gandi Copy (RIP). Unless there has been a case of mass amnesia, and I was not invited, I don’t think anyone has forgotten Gigi’s Abu Janichikankari couture sari!! You need mega GUTS to pull this off 😂. I won’t live. Generating enough EMVs to power an entire influ-town!” Gigi’s pristine white saree was by Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla. Sandeep even commented on Diet Sabya’s post and wrote, “Very veryveryveryvery GANDI dietji!!!” Content creator AnkitaSaigal wrote, “Very raavanki dress from MangiLaalgoteywala fancy dress shop.” Another person asked, “How she keeps getting invited year by year?”
Another user asked, “Did she think we wouldn’t notice?” Ankita asked, “Is that thermocolkagamla?” A person even comically defended her, “Just let her dabididibidiyar.” One fan got serious and wrote, “Urvashi is not wearing the Abu Janisaree. She is wearing a different designer outfit, and the saree she carried so beautifully may have been inspired by it, but both sarees are completely different. Kindly check carefully, @dietsabya. And honestly, she carried the saree more beautifully than Alia Bhatt. Stop being biased, dude. Shame on you. @dietsabya and there is no comparison between Gigi ndUrvashi, hope you understand @dietsabya.”
