Guwahati, May 24: When the red carpet rolled out at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, it wasn’t just about film. It was about fashion. And Sanjukta Dutta owned the moment.
Three international showstoppers—Valeriya Hjertenæs (Mrs World Congeniality), Mirka Howard (Ms Italy Globe Supermodel), and Jasleen Soni (Mrs NoveCosmo)—turned heads in handcrafted creations by India’s queen of couture, Sanjukta Dutta. Each look was a knockout—rooted in heritage, styled with vision.
Hjertenæs wore motifs inspired by ancient Assamese folklore—timeless beauty in motion. Howard’s fusion silhouette married European edge with Indian elegance. Soni radiated royal power in a bold drape that oozed confidence and cultural pride.
This wasn’t Dutta’s first Cannes rodeo—it was her fifth. And once again, she brought Indian handloom to the global fashion elite, not as an exotic flair, but as the main act.
Known for dominating global runways from Lakmé to Milan to New York and Paris, Dutta uses every platform to elevate Indian textiles, especially the rich weaves of Assam. Her work stands apart: no gimmicks, just craftsmanship, culture, and couture.
In a fashion world finally craving authenticity and diversity, Dutta delivered. Her Cannes 2025 presence wasn’t just fashion—it was symbolic. A tribute to global womanhood. A reminder that luxury can be personal, purposeful, and deeply cultural.
And as camera flashes lit up the Croisette, Sanjukta Dutta didn’t just showcase style. She walked her legacy down that red carpet—bold, beautiful, and unapologetically Indian.
