Ahead of her red carpet appearance, Alia offered a glimpse of her Cannes look on Instagram.
In a black-and-white story, she posed with a hand fan bearing the iconic L'Oreal motto, "I'm worth it," giving fans an early look at the elegance she was about to unveil on the red carpet.
Reportedly, Alia was supposed to make her Cannes debut during the opening ceremony. However, in the wake of India-Pakistan tensions, she postponed her travel.
On her birthday in March, Alia, during a press meet, confirmed her Cannes debut.
"This is going to be my first year when I'm going to Cannes. So I'm very nervous and very excited, and I'm also now trying my hand at new makeup looks and videos. I put up a makeup tutorial of my own at the beginning of the year. Now my, you know, my team is like, Why don't we try something that you've never done before, like blue eyeshadow or pink eyeshadow or something like that?" she said.
