The prestigious Cannes Film Festival 2025 kicked off with glitz, glamour, and global stars gracing the red carpet. Among the Indian celebrities who made an appearance was actress Urvashi Rautela, who has now become a regular at the festival. On Tuesday, Urvashi walked the red carpet for the premiere and opening ceremony of the film Le Parfum D’un Jour (Leave One Day).
Urvashi Rautela’s Bold Outfit at Cannes
Urvashi chose a bold and colorful strapless structured gown in shades of blue, red, and yellow for her red carpet appearance. Complementing the outfit was a matching tiara that added a royal flair to her look. However, what truly caught the public’s eye—and sparked online chatter—was the unusual accessory she carried: a crystal-embedded parrot-shaped clutch.

The eye-catching clutch, designed by Judith Leiber, is priced at a whopping $5,495, which converts to approximately ₹4.68 lakh. Social media was abuzz as images of Urvashi holding and even kissing the bird-shaped accessory went viral. Fashion watchdog pages like Diet Sabya were quick to comment on the extravagant yet controversial choice.
While Urvashi attempted to make a strong fashion statement, public reactions suggest she may have missed the mark. Critics and fans alike expressed mixed reactions, with some calling the look “over-the-top” and “gimmicky.”
What’s Next for Urvashi Rautela?
On the work front, Urvashi made headlines in 2024 with her association with Jahangir National University. In 2025, she has already sparked controversy with her dance number “Dabidi Dabidi” from the film Daku Maharaj, which received backlash for being too bold. She followed it up with the song Jaat Mein Touch Kiya. Looking ahead, she is set to appear in upcoming films Welcome to the Jungle and Kasoor 2.
Urvashi’s appearance at Cannes may not have won universal praise, but one thing is certain: she knows how to get people talking.
