A touch of zardozi, a nod to PM Modi, and a bold Cannes red carpet moment — all rolled into one
At a festival famed for its fashion risks, political statements, and dramatic flair, this Indian actress may have just made one of the most talked-about entrances at Cannes 2025.
Ruchi Gujjar Turns Heads at Cannes 2025 with Bridal Look and Modi Tribute
Wait a minute—because this Cannes red carpet moment is impossible to scroll past. Actor and model Ruchi Gujjar made a dramatic debut at Cannes 2025, stepping out in full bridal glory. Drenched in gold, adorned in traditional Rajasthani regalia, and finished with intricate kundan jewellery, her look was as bold as it was unexpected. But what truly stole the spotlight? A custom necklace featuring portraits of Prime Minister Narendra Modi, framed in kundan, pearls, and red enamel lotuses.
At a festival known for daring fashion and political flair, Gujjar’s appearance was one of the most talked-about. Her ensemble—designed by Roopa Sharmaa—featured rich zardozi embroidery, gota patti, and mirror work, creating a look straight out of a royal Rajasthani wedding. “The necklace isn’t just fashion—it’s my salute to a leader who’s transformed how the world sees India,” said Gujjar. “Cannes felt like the perfect place to wear my patriotism.”
With its heavy embellishments and unmistakable message, Gujjar’s look quickly lit up social media, where it’s being dubbed “The Modi Necklace.” Reactions have ranged from admiration to amusement, but one thing’s clear—she didn’t go unnoticed.
Was it couture or a statement? Probably both. In a sea of sleek gowns and subtle symbolism, Ruchi Gujjar went all in—and made Cannes 2025 take notice.
