Artist and philanthropist Shalini Passi put her best fashion foot forward, making her Cannes red carpet debut. She donned a strapless navy blue custom creation by designer Manish Malhotra, which she called "more than art 바카라 it바카라s a celebration of India on the global stage."

Titled 바카라Longitude 77바카라, the dreamy outfit is inspired from Padma Shri Paresh Maity바카라s acclaimed art series. Passi, sharing a string of pictures from her stunning appearance at Festival de Cannes, said that she feels "honoured to represent India alongside Longitude 77'' for her Cannes red carpet debut. Her outfit is a "tribute to the country바카라s enchanting spirit, woven through its rich terroir, culture, and creativity, from the Himalayas to Kanyakumari."

The dramatic gown featured rich and colourful Indian landscapes and cultural motifs. For Passi, the couture is more than a gown- it바카라s a canvas, blending her "love for art, fashion, and India".

"Draped in India바카라s soul, stitched in art and heritage ✨ Manish Malhotra has brought Paresh Maity바카라s (@pareshmaityofficial) Longitude 77바카라 to life on this custom creation 바카라 a journey through India바카라s rich landscapes, culture, and soul. From the Himalayas to Kanyakumari, every thread tells a story," read an excerpt of Shalini Passi's post on Instagram.

Recently, while speaking about her Cannes debut, Shalini Passi told India Today Digital, "There바카라s so much more to the Cannes Film Festival than just its glamour, and being here for the first time feels incredibly special. Personally and creatively, it바카라s an overwhelming mix of emotions 바카라 excitement, gratitude, and curiosity."

She added, "I바카라m most looking forward to meeting people from across the cinematic world, hearing their stories, and learning from their journeys. I believe such exchanges have the power to expand your perspective and infuse new energy into your own work. And of course, I can바카라t deny the magic of the red carpet 바카라 it바카라s such an iconic part of Cannes, and I바카라ll be walking it two or three times, which is truly a dream come true."
