After a stunning debut early in the day, Aria Batt returned to the Cannes 2025 red carpet, with an equally seductive second appearance – the Bollywood star who took part in the lights of a women's worthy event hosted by L'Oreal Paris, brought effortless elegance and quiet power to the night dedicated to defending women in cinemas.
The evening exterior featured the aria in the creation of strapless, foam-worthy couture, sparkling with gemstones meticulously placed throughout the surface. The gown embraced her silhouette, reflecting the celestial glow under the light of the Riviera. Its design – clean, refined, sparkling – reflects the refinement of old Hollywood, celebrating the modern essence of the women who wear it.
Alia's styling was curated again by Rhea Kapoor, leaning against minimalism with the greatest impact.
This look wasn't just about fashion. Aria was in the lights of the Women's Value Gala. This is the annual L'Oreal Paris initiative that has risen to the spotlight and rises to women filmmakers, especially those who work in the short film field. The initiative began in 2021 and grew into a major Cannes highlight, providing vision and support to female creatives around the world.
Aria, who joined L'Oreal Paris' global ambassador lineup in 2024, has already made her feel on the international stage. Aishwarya Rai has long been the face of the Indian brand, but the arrival of Alia brings younger and more versatile energy to the table.
Her presence at the event was dressed in a timeless, futuristic work of couture, and was a worthy respect for women to be respected. The gowns – part of Armani Prime in the fall of 2025 – carried the same craftsmanship and quiet drama seen on the red carpet worn by the international icon. But in the case of Aria, it became a canvas for something deeper – a symbol of the new face of India's global expression in cinema and fashion.
That day, Aria made her Cannes debut in a dreamy ivory siapareli gown, winning acclaim around the world for her elegant walks and calmness in conducting. Her second look reinforced what many already knew – Alia Bhatt is not only involved in global conversations, but also redefines it on her own terms.
With the arrival of Cannes, Aria not only celebrated film and self-expression, but also stood as a powerful reminder that style could carry matter, and that some red carpet moments were far beyond the flash of cameras.
