Cannes [France], May 13 : For her second appearance at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, actor Alia Bhatt is leaving no stone unturned to steal attention with her sartorial choices.

After winning hearts in a peach-toned gown paired with a chiffon dupatta, Alia turned heads in a custom creation by designer Tarun Tahiliani.

She stepped out at the French Riviera wearing a custom-draped ivory chanderi dhoti skirt paired with a sculpted corset. The ensemble stood out for its intricate detailing that seamlessly incorporated traditional Indian elements into a modern silhouette.

Alia elevated her look with traditional jewellery and adornments, including payal, nath, bindi and hath phool, adding a culturally rooted touch to her Cannes appearance.

Flaunting her Day 2 look, the actor took to Instagram and shared an adorable video from the festival.

"Feeling unapologetically filmy for the inauguration of the Bharat Pavillion," she captioned the post.
