Representing L’Oréal Paris from India and the UK respectively, the two actresses graced the carpet together in exquisite gowns, creating one of the most talked-about appearances of the festival.
A viral moment of shared admiration
A video of their interaction quickly went viral, showing the divas posing in front of the L’Oréal Paris signage. While Alia Bhatt stood poised with a serene smile for the cameras, Simone Ashley was captured adorably gazing at her co-ambassador with a soft, affectionate smile. At one point, the two turned to each other, sharing a full, heartwarming smile that delighted fans and led to a collective online "meltdown." Their candid and almost sisterly camaraderie offered a refreshing sight amidst the typical red carpet glamor.
Alia Bhatt's regal Cannes debut
Alia Bhatt made a striking Cannes debut, looking every bit like royalty in a custom Schiaparelli gown curated by Rhea Kapoor. Her off-shoulder, nude-toned bodycon dress featured intricate ecru Chantilly lace and delicate enamel flower embroidery. The design was further enhanced by organza details and a mermaid silhouette, imbuing the dress with a romantic and dreamy flair. Layers of ivory mousseline, crepeline, and ruffled tulle added texture and movement to the fishtail hem. With her hair elegantly slicked into a sleek bun and simple pearl studs as her sole accessories, Alia allowed the sophistication of her gown and her natural radiance to command attention.
Simone Ashley's Sculptural Elegance
Simone Ashley, best known for her role as Kate Sharma in Netflix’s ‘Bridgerton’, made a grand entrance in a sculpted white gown. The dress featured exaggerated pleats and a daring plunging neckline, presenting a silhouette that was both architectural and feminine. Cinched at the waist, the gown flared out into voluminous folds, perfectly complementing her signature curls and dewy makeup. Simone, who made her Cannes debut in 2024, returned this year as part of L’Oréal Paris’s UK ambassador lineup.
Fans React to the "Iconic" Interaction
The online fan community erupted in excitement over the interaction between the two stars. One user posted, “Simone Ashley looking at Alia like she’s a vision, I’m crying," expressing strong emotional engagement with the moment. Another fan gushed, “The soft smiles, the hand on the waist, the way they look at each other—this is iconic," capturing the collective sentiment of admiration for their visible connection on the red carpet.
