As one of the honorees, Kiara Advani attended the Women in Film Gala organized by the Red Sea Film Festival x Vanity Fair Europe in Cannes, France.

Glamorous, dreamy and timeless! These words perfectly describe Kiara Advani's elegant look for the Women In Cinema Gala organized by the Red Sea Film Festival in collaboration with Vanity Fair Europe in Cannes.

The Women in Film initiative took place on the sidelines of the 77th Cannes Film Festival, to which Kiara Advani was invited and is also one of the prestigious honorees. Kiara embraced the power of a classic silhouette in a glamorous sculptural dress for the event.

Kiara looked like she stepped out of an Audrey Hepburn movie exuding old world Hollywood charm.

Before the gala event, Kiara was asked how she felt about being one of the women honored in film. Kiara, who looked ethereal in the ensemble, said: “It's humbling. It's going to be a decade in my career, so I think it also comes at a very special time. I feel truly honored to be here in Cannes for the first time. And being honored by the Red Sea Foundation for Women in Film is a humbling experience.”

Kiara gave a sneak peek of her elegant look before attending the gala. The actress posted a black and white photo on her Instagram story, with her back to the camera as she leans on the balcony staring into oblivion. There is nothing more romantic than a picture of a woman adorning a classic dress paired with black lace gloves. Call it old world charm or just Kiara's charisma, the overall style was a perfect red carpet look done right.

The Nedo by Nedret Taciroglu Corset Dress features a fish-cut black velvet silhouette with a train and a pastel pink duchess satin bodice. Following the fashion trend of 2024: bows, the dress from the Fall Winter 2024-25 collection also features an elaborate pink duchess satin bow. Thus adding drama to Kiara's dreamy look.

Designed by Lakshmi Lehr and assisted by Abhimanyu Desai. Kiara's hairstyle was tied in a bun designed by Priyanka Borkar and complementing her versatile vintage look was minimalist, dewy makeup done by Lekha Gupta. Kiara accessorized his monochromatic look with statement diamond jewellery.

Along with Kiara, the other Women in Cinema honored were Adhwa Fahad, Aseel Omran, Freen alias Sarocha Chankimha, Ramata-Toulaye Sy and Salma Abu Deif.
