Send Push
After giving us the iconic Parsi Gara saree from Manish Malhotra’s couture at the MET Gala 2025, Natasha Poonawalla is back on the international fashion carpet with another exaggerated look. Acting as the vanguard of maximalism, this fashion connoisseur knows how to fashionably carry high-end outfits with effortless elegance and grace. Unafraid of public opinion, she always gets it right with her fashion notes, making the wait worth it.

Walking arm in arm with Bollywood director Karan Johar on the Cannes venue premises, for a moment, she outshone everyone on the floor and proved that she was only there to slay. Putting tonnes of creativity, thought, and expertise into her fits, she showed up in an alluring Christian Dior vintage gown.

Ditching the usual ball gowns with long trains and ruffles, she picked up a 2002 archival Dior piece, which left us absolutely mesmerised. Keeping up with the fashion rules and themes of Cannes 2025 , the full-length gown featured stunning tailored detailing with a halterneck sweetheart neckline charm.


Proudly showing off the 2000s off-shoulder drama, the puffy sleeves swiftly cascaded to her arms and matched the ruched aura on her midriff. The geometric pattern right beneath her bosom came in with intricate embellishments with cut-dana beading in botanical motifs with a pleated, flowy skirt that came in with a scalloped hemline.

Layering up the look with a Dior golden fur jacket with geometric patterns and floral shine, she fashionably slung the jacket over her shoulders and created a head-turning moment. Quickly elevating her ensemble with an Indian touch, she adds a pop of colour in a large pear-shaped red stone Maharani haar with green kundan, tucked in pearls, and intricate embellishments.


However, her luxury charm did not stop there, as she carried a French-based haute couture bag from Jean Paul’s collection and opted for a salmon pink statement clutch. Keeping her makeup minimal, she sported a side-swept, gelled-up bun hairstyle with a dazzling pair of sunglasses. Creating a perfect contemporary look with over-the-top styling, she always mingles with the crème de la crème of fashion, serving some jaw-dropping looks in the past years.
