<\/figure>\n\n\n\n#2\u00a0 Alia Bhatt | Tamara Ralph Haute Couture + Dupatta | Score: 95\/100<\/b><\/h2>\n
For her official red-carpet appearance, Alia stepped out in a blush-toned strapless Tamara Ralph Haute Couture gown with a structured corset bodice and a matching chiffon dupatta draped around her arms that became the most-discussed styling detail of the entire opening weekend. Styled by Rhea Kapoor. Accessorised with Chopard diamonds.<\/span><\/p>\n A strapless multicoloured polka-dot fishtail dress from the Jacquemus Fall\/Winter 2026 collection, with 3D confetti appliqu\u00e9s, a belted waist, and a tulip-style hem. Matched with white Tourni pumps and a Val\u00e9rie mini-purse. Styled by Brad Goreski. Playful, structured, and completely unexpected for a jury photocall which is exactly why it worked.<\/span><\/p>\n Two looks, two different registers, both flawless. At the jury photocall, Ruth Negga wore a wide-legged ivory satin Celine suit with a lavalli\u00e8re tie restrained, architectural, and razor-sharp. Then for the opening ceremony she switched to a hammered green satin Dior Haute Couture gown by Jonathan Anderson, with black lace inlays and ribbon fringe. The range she showed in a single day was extraordinary.<\/span><\/p>\n A sleek gold sequinned gown that was impossible to scroll past. Simple in silhouette but devastating in execution it has already made multiple best-dressed lists across fashion media.<\/span><\/p>\n A show-stopping Elie Saab number that combined architectural structure with old-Hollywood glamour. The Project Runway host turned the opening ceremony red carpet into her personal runway.<\/span><\/p>\n The director of Hamnet arrived in a scene-stealing red maxi dress paired with a Bottega Veneta bag a directorial statement in sartorial form, immediately flagged by fashion editors as one of the day's standout moments.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" #1\u00a0 Alia Bhatt | Mint-Green Hand-Painted Ball Gown | Score: 97\/100 Even before she set foot on the official red carpet, Alia Bhatt had already broken the internet.
