    Urvashi Rutela turned heads at Cannes 2025
    At the prestigious 78th Cannes Film Festival, Urvashi Rautela once again became the center of attention, thanks to her daring fashion choices. She kicked off her red carpet appearances with a vibrant look — a striking gown inspired by the colorful flair of a parrot, complemented by a uniquely designed clutch in the shape of the same tropical bird. The ensemble sparked a flurry of opinions online, but unbothered by the divided feedback, Urvashi returned with even more drama — this time turning heads with a show-stealing accessory that fashion enthusiasts couldn’t stop talking about.

    A Golden Spectacle Under the Stars

    In the early hours of May 23, 2025, Urvashi shared a breathtaking look from her red carpet walk on Instagram, earning applause from fans and critics alike. She had attended the premiere of La Venue De L’Avenir (Colours of Time) in a jaw-dropping golden fishtail gown by Joli Poli. The gown, intricately decorated with shimmering embellishments and flowing cape-style sleeves, was nothing short of theatrical. But the real conversation starter? A dazzling gold handbag shaped like a bikini top, which instantly became the event's most buzzed-about fashion item.

    The Bag That Made Headlines

    This unusual yet luxurious bag — crafted by the iconic designer label Judith Leiber — was sculpted to resemble a bikini bust. Its gleaming metallic exterior sparkled with crystal embellishments in multiple cuts: circular, pear, and triangle-shaped gemstones. The ornate piece also featured accents of pearls and semi-precious stones, making it as glamorous as it was unconventional. Complete with a magnetic flap closure, champagne-hued metal fittings, a detachable chain strap, and a gleaming leather interior, the handbag was soon trending on fashion blogs and social media alike.

    Luxury With a Price Tag to Match

    According to Bollywoosshaadis.com, this bold fashion piece didn’t just shine on the carpet — it came with a jaw-dropping price of $6,195, or about ₹5.29 lakh. But it wasn’t the only quirky design in Judith Leiber’s lineup. The brand offers eight similar “bust” bags, including the extravagantly priced “Bust Don’t Tell Mama” and “Bust Standing Ovation,” each retailing for nearly ₹6.82 lakh.

    A Glamourous Gaffe?

    Before her red carpet walk, Urvashi was seen staging a photoshoot on her hotel’s stairway. However, it drew criticism when reports surfaced that she blocked the path for several waiting guests. Unfazed, she continued posing — sparking online debate.

    Throughout Cannes 2025, she delivered memorable looks — including a deep green asymmetrical gown with a ₹4.57 lakh parrot clutch, a textured black gown later damaged while assisting an elderly woman, and a custom Romzy creation that cemented her bold, unpredictable fashion narrative.
