Indian representation at Cannes 2026 reached a significant high across both cinema and culture. Payal Kapadia served as the president of the jury for the 65th edition of Critics’ Week, marking a major moment for Indian cinema on the global stage. Emerging filmmaker Mehar Malhotra’s Shadows of the Moonless Nights becomes the only Indian film selected for the La Cinef school films competition; meanwhile, Amma Ariyan (1986) from Kerala was set to premiere at the festival.
Ahead, we detail some of the best sartorial appearances at Cannes 2026 so far.
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
Few things in life are as dependable as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan commanding the Cannes Film Festival red carpet. This year, the actor arrived in a custom electric-blue Amit Aggarwal ensemble, styled by Mohit Rai. Her hair was worn open in side-parted waves, with a reddish tint that played against the electric-blue gown. By now, Rai Bachchan’s Cannes appearance has become an annual ritual, and the red carpet is better for it.
