Every year, the Cannes Film Festival has its fair share of surprising outfits and bold accessories, some of which go beyond fashion to make a real statement. Ruchi Gujjar, a model and an emerging actress, made her red carpet debut at Cannes 2025 wearing a bold gold lehenga that grabbed everyone's attention. But it wasn't the mirror work or the embroidery in her outfit that captured headlines, it was a necklace she wore. The neckpiece featured three striking pendants of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, which she proudly flaunted on the red carpet at Chopard's "Caroline's Universe" Dinner. Moreover, Ruchi's hands were painted entirely in red as a tribute to the Indian Armed Forces for their Operation Sindoor. On the other hand, internet personality and content creator Sonam Chhabra paid a tribute to the Pahalgam Terror Attack victims at Cannes 2025 with her unique look.

Ruchi Gujjar, who has also won the Miss Haryana 2023 title, honoured PM Narendra Modi on the global stage at Cannes 2025 with a unique look that showcased not only Indian craftsmanship but also India's rise on the world stage. "I wanted to honour our Prime Minister whose leadership has taken India to new heights," Ruchi told News 18. She also silently honoured the Indian Armed Forces by painting her hand completely in red for the successful mission of Operation Sindoor in May 2025.

Talking about red-hand tribute, Ruchi Gujjar said in a statement, "My red hand on the Cannes red carpet - not just a fashion statement, but a symbol of strength, sacrifice, and pride. This red isn’t just a colour - it’s a salute. A salute to the brave hearts behind Operation Sindoor, where courage spoke louder than words. As a daughter of the Army, this moment was deeply personal. India walked with me."

Sonam Chhabra Honours Pahalgam Terror Attack Victims at Cannes 2025 Red Carpet

Social media influencer and content creator Sonam Chhabra made a striking appearance at Cannes 2025. This was her second time attending the prestigious film festival. This time, she made an impactful appearance on the red carpet in a custom-made dress that caught everyone's attention. Sonam's ensemble featured a strapless silver bodice with wings as breast plates. She teamed this with a white cape, which had the names and dates of four of the most horrifying terror attacks in India, sponsored by Pakistan. Sonam Chhabra's 2008 dress read: "2008 Mumbai, 2016 Uri, 2019 Pulwama, 2025 Pahalgam". A fitting tribute to the Indian Armed Forces again, which fought the terrorists.

Above them all, one word stood tall - "Unbroken." It was a powerful symbol of the country's unity and unshakable resilience, no matter what we have faced. This is a message that someone representing the country on a global stage needs to deliver. Cannes 2025: In the Wake of India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Stuns With ‘Sindoor’ in Hair and Ivory Saree (Pics and Video).
