Aditi Rao Hydari graced the L’Amour Ouf red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival in a captivating custom black and white gown by Gaurav Gupta. The ensemble, part of Gupta’s Spring 2024 collection ‘Aarohanam’, showcased a sleek black velvet dress adorned with dramatic ivory side drapes that billowed like a cloud. Inspired by the concept of kundalini, the gown symbolized the coiled snake that rests dormant at the base of the spine until awakened by meditation. The interplay of black and white represented the absolute nothingness of being and the flickering dance of a flame. Styled impeccably by Sanam Ratansi, Hydari’s look was further enhanced by subtle makeup by Elton Fernandez, highlighting her natural beauty. Statement accessories with gold detailing and matching rings completed her elegant ensemble. Gupta’s renowned craftsmanship ensured that the gown appeared distinct from every angle. While the original design featured fiery red side drapes, Hydari opted for a simpler and chic version that reflected her personality. The puffy white drapes created an illusion of ethereal mystery, drawing comparisons to the iconic Audrey Hepburn on social media. Despite not replicating her viral ‘Gajagamini’ walk from previous years, Hydari’s captivating presence and sophisticated style commanded attention amidst the flurry of controversial dressing that characterized this year’s Cannes red carpet.
