Gucci calls Alia's saree-inspired Cannes outfit a gown, criticised
Alia Bhatt's Gucci outfit for closing ceremony Cannes Film Festival 2025, which appeared to be inspired by saree, has been termed as a "gown" by the luxury fashion brand. Accusing Gucci of "cultural appropriation", fans pointed out that it's either a saree or lehenga but not a gown. "Give South Asian fashion the credit it deserves," a user wrote.
