The Cannes red carpet isn’t just a masterclass in cinematic glamour—it’s also the ultimate mood board for modern Indian brides who want to break the mould. This year, the fashion was dreamy, directional, and delightfully wedding-worthy. Whether you’re planning a sundowner ceremony, a high-glam reception, or just want to change out of your lehenga into something you can really move in, these are the gown trends from Cannes 2025 that deserve a place in your wedding wardrobe.
Pastels, with a twist
Soft shades didn’t mean playing it safe. Jameela Jamil’s sequinned Ali Karoui sheath in seafoam green was all shimmer and sculpt—imagine it as a bridal reception look with diamanté earrings and a sleek blowout. Meanwhile Dakota Johnson’s pink fringe Gucci number added playful movement and would look stunning under twinkling lights, especially if your vibe is disco meets destination wedding. Julie Garner also went fringe-first in a slinky Tom Ford gown that felt fresh and fun—a perfect second change post-ceremony, especially for brides who want to dance without trailing embroidery behind them.
The ultimate cool girl Charli XCX switched brat green for a lavender, Saint Laurent satin slip styled with a feather wrap, proved that you don’t need volume to make an entrance. If your bridal style leans minimalist, this look could double as an ultra-modern take on the pheras gown, with the feather wrap acting as your dupatta—with drama.
