Urvashi Rautela, known for her bold and unconventional sartorial choices, made a striking appearance on the opening day (May 13) of the 78th Cannes International Film Festival. She walked the red carpet ahead of the screening of Partir Un Jour (Leave One Day).
The Internet couldn't keep calm as Urvashi carried a crystal-studded, parrot-shaped clutch on the red carpet, prompting hilarious reactions.
To Cannes, Urvashi wore a dramatic structured gown in bold shades of blue, red and yellow from the shelves of Michael Cinco. Her OTT bag by luxury designer Judith Leiber, reportedly, carried a price tag of $5,495 (approximately ₹4.68 lakh) which had the Internet buzzing. She complemented her look with an extravagant head accessory and dramatic makeup.
Social media influencer and fashion-expert Diet Sabya shared pictures of Urvashi Rautela from Cannes on their Instagram feed. Let's have a quick look at the comments section.
A user wrote, "Giving 'Moulin Rouge meets Mayur Vihar' realness."
Another user wrote, "Is it a satire on camp?"
Another comment read, "Urvashi devi ready for Jagran."
"We want her drag performance on Dabidi Dabidi," read yet another comment.
For context, Dabidi Dabidi is the song from the film Daaku Maharaaj featuring the actress and Nandamuri Balakrishna. The song received massive backlash on social media for its "indecent" hook steps.
