It has been 70 years since India took centre-stage at the Cannes Film festival and besides for celebrating cinema, the festival is also known to be one to celebrate fashion in the most extravagant of ways. And while India did step-up to the occasion in terms of both, cinema and style, today we're here to talk about how Indian culture was portrayed at Cannes 2018, introducing the world to our ways and ethnic style. Scroll through the 5 times our celebrities made us proud Indians as they graced the film festival in the French Riviera.

Highlighting her ‘new-bride’ status and celebrating our culture, Sonam made a bold fashion statement with her first Cannes 2018 red carpet look. Complementing her mehendi, she went with a flamboyant lehenga from Ralph & Russo which was teamed with a cropped top featuring an embroidered sheer half-sleeve on one side and a dramatic floor-sweeping one on the other. Other than huge diamond Chopard earrings, she also accessorised her long plait with a metal parandi from Amrapali Jewels. We love how she embraced Indian culture and her newly-wed status with her recent red carpet look whilst at the film festival.

Rocking an Audrey Hepburn look for her first public appearance ever at Cannes this year, Kangana went not just with retro vibes but with Indian ones too, for her look. She went with a Sabyasachi Mukherjee shimmery black hand-dyed saree teamed with a black spaghetti blouse with an exaggerated neckline. Accessorising with a beautiful pearl choker with a diamond and emerald centrepiece from the same label, she lent that added oomph to her look. We love how she took her saree obsession all the way to Cannes with her!

The ‘Manto’ actress was spotted in Cannes this year working a beautiful pale blue Raw Mango saree. Looking all things summery, chic and beautifully ethnic, she donned the label’s ‘Rose Varanasi brocade scallop pale blue’ drape. With a natural beauty look, studs for her ears and with her hair styled in a low ponytail, Rasika looked simply and elegantly traditional.

Veteran actress Neena Gupta made her debut at the Cannes Film Festival this year and for it, she took the traditional route and decided to wear her daughter, Masaba Gupta's label at the prestigious platform. The veteran actress indeed looked drop-dead gorgeous in an ivory crushed saree styled with a knockout pink blouse in the tribal vase print. She accessorised with gorgeous gold danglers and a pink bindi too. Now, that's how you do Indian!

The actress graced the carpet looking stunning and so ethnic in the Indian drape. She donned a metallic copper saree which she colour-blocked with a traditional green blouse. With kohled eyes, gold danglers and a potli, she stunned. We’re loving how Nandita chose to keep it simply ethnic and yet gave us such a glamorous sartorial turnout to absolutely love!

Now, that’s how we Indians roll…
