Indian actress Aditi Rao Hydari brought a refreshing wave of tradition and simplicity to the global fashion scene at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, leaving a lasting impression with her culturally rooted ensemble. Wearing a striking red Raw Mango saree, the actress added an Indian touch to the glamorous French Riviera backdrop.

Aditi paired the deep red saree with a matching blouse featuring bold straps and a hint of blue piping on the pallu. Her outfit, though minimalist, made a powerful statement. Her hair was tied neatly in a bun, accompanied by dewy, radiant makeup, a red bindi, and a standout polki choker. However, what truly caught the public’s eye was the visible sindoor in her hair, a detail that sparked widespread admiration online.

“In an age when global fashion typically favours the avant-garde, Aditi’s sindoor and saree symbolised rootedness and commitment,” noted observers on social media. The ensemble created an almost cinematic mood, with the flowing saree catching the coastal breeze and enhancing her timeless appeal.

Fans Get Stunned by Aditi’s Outfit

Fans were particularly moved by her traditional gesture. Reacting to her photos, one admirer commented, “I love the fact that the prominent sindoor you’re wearing is just holding this entire look.” Another added, “The best and the most elegant in Cannes so far.” Compliments continued with comments like, “The sindoor is actually a cherry on the top,” and “Absolutely Stunning.”

Aditi captioned her photos with a simple yet heartfelt, “I Cannes ❤️”.
Before this appearance, Aditi walked the red carpet at the premiere of Homebound wearing a dazzling custom Rahul Mishra gown. The silver-and-black ombré dress featured a fitted bodice with silver threadwork and transitioned into feathered fringe detailing, giving her a celestial look. She completed the look with minimal makeup and Chopard jewels.

Her sartorial choices at Cannes reflect a deeper story of elegance rooted in culture. “Aditi’s Cannes appearance was more than simply a fashion event; it was a tribute to grace, tradition, and the power of simplicity,” fashion critics noted.

Aditi Weds Siddharth in Intimate Temple Ceremony

Adding to the public’s curiosity and admiration, Aditi’s personal life has also recently captured attention. The actress married fellow actor Siddharth in September 2024 in an intimate South Indian ceremony held at Sri Ranganayakaswamy Temple in Telangana. She wore a traditional Sabyasachi lehenga, while Siddharth complemented her look in a Sabyasachi silk kurta and dhoti.

Their love story reportedly began on the sets of Maha Samudram in 2021. In a sweet moment last year, Aditi confirmed their engagement on social media, sharing a selfie with their rings and writing, “He said yes! E. N. G. A. G. E. D.”

Aditi was last seen in Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s critically acclaimed Netflix series Heeramandi, where her performance was widely praised.

As the Cannes Film Festival continues until May 24, Aditi Rao Hydari has not only served fashion goals but also demonstrated that culture and simplicity can command just as much attention and admiration on the international stage.
