Bollywood actor and fashion icon Urvashi Rautela had an unexpected fashion slip during her red carpet appearance at the prestigious 78th annual Cannes Film Festival. Known for her bold and unconventional style, Urvashi made headlines for an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction that caught the attention of sharp-eyed netizens.
The actress walked the red carpet during the screening of O Agente Secreto (The Secret Agent) wearing a dramatic black silk taffeta gown designed by Naja Saade Couture. While the voluminous gown with its corseted bodice and sweeping train was intended to make a statement, a noticeable hole near the arm of the gown stole the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
Internet Reacts to ‘Oops’ Moment
The internet quickly reacted after videos of Urvashi waving to photographers surfaced online. As she raised her arm to pose, viewers spotted what appeared to be a tear or hole in the fabric near her arm. The clip was widely circulated on social media, with many commenting on the mishap.
Popular anonymous fashion watchdog page Diet Sabya shared a clip of Urvashi’s red carpet moment on their Instagram stories, accompanied by a tongue-in-cheek voiceover that said, “Dekho, gotta respect the hustle. Bichari, I feel bad for her. Walking the red carpet where there are no paps in Cannes is basically the kiss of death.” A user reacted with, “Is that a hole there????” while another user on X (formerly Twitter) quipped, “First Indian to have a torn dress at Cannes?”
All About the Look
Despite the malfunction, Urvashi’s gown featured intricate detailing: sheer full-length sleeves, a crew neckline layered over a plunging sweetheart bust, a cinched waist, and a pleated silk skirt that flowed into a train. She accessorized with emerald-cut earrings, a sparkling pink clutch, and opted for a twisted updo hairstyle.
Her makeup was equally elaborate, with coral brown glossy lips, kohl-lined eyes, winged eyeliner, voluminous lashes, flushed cheeks, and a luminous highlighter enhancing her look.
A Mixed Moment for Urvashi
This marks Urvashi’s second appearance at Cannes this year. While she has previously attracted attention for her eye-catching outfits, this particular moment sparked both sympathy and satire online. Though the incident may have been a minor glitch in her red carpet appearance, it once again thrust her into the social media spotlight.
Despite the wardrobe malfunction, Urvashi continues to own her moments on the global stage — with or without the internet’s approval.
