Modi on red carpet! Ruchi Gujjar’s Cannes look sparks buzz

The Cannes 2025 red carpet had its share of glamour, but it was emerging Indian actress Ruchi Gujjar who stole the spotlight by turning her fashion moment into a bold political statement.

Dressed in a handcrafted ensemble by designer Roopa Sharmaa, complete with mirror work, zardozi embroidery, and a Bandhani dupatta from Zaribari’s Ram, Ruchi exuded royal elegance. But then came a twist: the bold necklace, designed with traditional Rajasthani motifs and Modi’s instantly recognisable face, became the centerpiece of the look and of the global conversation.
