More on Urvashi Rautela’s outfit for the Cannes Film Festival 2025.

She wore a strapless Michael Cinco gown on the first day at Cannes, featuring multi-coloured jewelled panels on the front, a sculpted bodice, a figure-hugging silhouette, a layered turquoise and black tulle skirt on the back and a long train. She accessorised the ensemble with jewelled earrings, rings and a matching tiara. However, her Judith Leiber crystal parrot bag, worth ₹4.67 lakh, turned all heads. She tied her hair in a half-up, half-down hairdo. For the glam, Urvashi opted for bold winged smoky eye shadow adorned with glitter, darkened brows, mascara-adorned lashes, a heavy dose of highlighter, contoured face, blushed cheeks and a glossy pink lip shade.

Diet Sabya praised Urvashi Rautela’s Cannes 2025 look.

A popular fashion Instagram page, Diet Sabya, praised Urvashi for her bold choices. They wrote, “This is textbook CAMP — in the Susan Sontag sense: exaggerated, theatrical, and unapologetically stylised. It’s artifice over authenticity, irony as devotion. You can cite Notes on “Camp” all you want, but I’ll still never hate her. ARGUE WITH YOUR AUNTY!” Orry also praised and wrote, “Slayed. Ate. Chewed up. Spat out. No crumbs left. Stepped on necks. Walked the Cannes red carpet so everyone else can run @urvashirautela, only thing missing is the Rolex.” Bhumi wrote, “Uff love her.”

Netizens give mixed reactions to Urvashi Rautela’s Cannes 2025 look.

One user wrote, “Urvashi wants to be like Aishwarya with 0 charisma. How long will she continue wearing Michael Cinco?” Another wrote, “The dress could have been used in such a better manner.” A user pointed out how she broke the ‘no long train’ rule, and another joked, “First actress on planet to bring Met Gala to Cannes.” A comment read, “The dress is actually beautiful, but the hair and makeup…..and the utter void of charisma.” One more wrote, “I think the dress in itself is amazing, but should have been accessorised and styled properly. What a waste!”
