A Glamorous Look Inspired by Indian Art
Nitanshi’s dress was styled by Shrey and Urja, two well-known fashion stylists. Her outfit had:
A strapless top and fitted bodice
A slim waist and golden floral embroidery
A dramatic skirt with layers of tulle (net fabric)
A long train that flowed behind her on the red carpet
The dress celebrated Indian traditional designs and looked both modern and royal.
She kept her accessories simple—wearing a gold choker necklace, curly-style earrings, some rings, and high heels. Her hair was tied back neatly in a sleek style, parted in the center. For makeup, she chose a soft, natural look with pink lip gloss, light blush, and glowing skin.

Other comments included:
“Phool bloomed on the red carpet.”
“Even the red carpet camera was obsessed with her!”
“She looked like a princess.”
Netflix India also shared their love by commenting, “I say phool marks for this look.”
Nitanshi became famous for her role in the movie Laapataa Ladies (2024), which also starred Pratibha Ranta and Sparsh Shrivastava. Her debut at Cannes shows she’s not just a rising actress, but also a fashion icon in the making.
