Actress Urvashi Rautela made a bold statement at the Cannes Film Festival 2025 on Tuesday, showcasing a striking and vibrant outfit on the iconic red carpet. She attended the opening ceremony with a confident flair, pairing her ensemble with eye-catching accessories, including a colourful tiara, a crystal-embellished parrot-shaped clutch, and matching jewellery that amplified her fashion-forward look.

Rautela also graced the screening of the film Partir un jour (Leave One Day), where she posed with poise on the red carpet. Her appearance quickly gained attention online, with several photos and videos going viral, though her look was not without controversy. While some fans admired her boldness, others heavily trolled her for her unique style choices.

Her gown, featuring bold shades of blue, red, and yellow, stood out, but it was the parrot-shaped clutch—adorned with crystals and valued at around Rs 4,68,064—that stole the spotlight. The accessory caught the eye of fashion critics, especially after being highlighted by Instagram fashion page Diet Sabya.

The reactions on social media were mixed. Some users applauded her daring fashion choices, while others poked fun, comparing her look to various references. One user commented, "Giving ‘Moulin Rouge meets Mayur Vihar’ realness," while another questioned, "Was Daku Maharaj shown at the festival?" There were also remarks about her style possibly defying the festival's traditional dress codes.

The 2025 Cannes Film Festival officially opened on May 13, drawing global stars such as Leonardo DiCaprio, Quentin Tarantino, Robert De Niro, and Juliette Binoche, the Jury President.

On the work front, Urvashi was last seen in the Telugu movie Daaku Maharaj, alongside Nandamuri Balakrishna.
