If there is one celebrity who truly understands the assignment for dramatic couture at Cannes, it is surely Urvashi Rautela. The actress recently turned heads at the Film Festival, letting her accessory twist do all the talking. She delivered a fashion moment so extra and unapologetically camp that the internet simply cannot look away.
While most celebrities were fighting for life on the red carpet with tight corsets and long trains, Urvashi carved out her own unique niche and instantly went viral. At the amfAR Gala Cannes, she exuded sass in a heavily embellished, off-shoulder silver gown designed by Joli Poli Couture. The dress was drenched in intricate beadwork and stone embroidery with a sheer skirt. She styled the ensemble with a retro feather boa that subtly rested on her elbows, exuding major old-Hollywood energy.
Beauty and Accessories
Urvashi pulled her hair back into a sleek, side-parted bun and added shimmery eyeshadow with a bold winged eyeliner on the beauty front. But the dress alone was not enough for her; she carried an espresso martini glass that looked absolutely gorgeous but was actually a purse. Created by luxury label Judith Leiber, the Martini Espresso clutch is covered entirely in deep, mocha-toned crystals and features a faux crystal froth around the rim.
Details of the Clutch
Topping it off with three sparkles placed like espresso beans, one can open it up to find a metallic leather lining with a small functional mirror. The price of this hyper-realistic caffeine container is around USD 5,795, roughly Rs 5.5 lakh. Urvashi is known for her inclination toward Judith Leiber's surrealist designs and has several stunning clutches from her dramatic collection.
Love it or hate it, Urvashi once again proved that subtlety has never been part of her red carpet vocabulary, and she surely knows how to own every bit of it.
