Nitanshi Goel Turns Heads at Cannes 2025 in Custom Black and Gold Gown

Nitanshi Goel, best known for her role in Laapataa Ladies, made a captivating first appearance at the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, stunning everyone with her elegant look. At just 17, the young actress graced the red carpet in a striking black and gold custom gown by designer duo Jade by Monica and Karishma. She attended the screening of the film Dossier 137 on May 15, turning heads with her poised presence and impressive style that many online users said rivalled even the most seasoned Cannes attendees.

Her appearance marked a significant milestone as she transitioned from her standout performance in Laapataa Ladies to the global spotlight of La Croisette. The strapless gown, styled by Shrey and Urja, showcased the richness of Indian craftsmanship. It featured an intricately embroidered gold floral corset, a structured waist, and a flowing train with a dramatic mermaid silhouette. The voluminous tulle overlay added depth and movement, while the black and gold color palette exuded glamour.

Choosing to let her attire take center stage, Nitanshi kept her accessories minimal. She wore a delicate gold choker, sleek earrings, and matching rings, completing the look with high heels. Her hair was styled in a neat, center-parted updo. For makeup, she opted for a subtle no-makeup look with glossy pink lips, softly defined eyes, flushed cheeks, and a radiant highlighter that complemented her youthful charm.

Her appearance quickly became a hot topic online, with social media erupting in admiration. Fans and fashion watchers alike praised her look, with many referencing her role in Laapataa Ladies. Instagram account Diet Sabya declared, “A starrrrrr is born,” while Netflix India playfully commented, “I say phool marks for this look.” Others chimed in with remarks like, “Phool Cannes pohoch gayi,” and “Phool bloomed on the red carpet.” One viewer noted how the live stream cameras seemed captivated by her, highlighting that even veteran stars often don’t receive such attention. Another admirer called her appearance “Princesscore in every good way.”

Nitanshi Goel made her Bollywood debut in 2024’s Laapataa Ladies as Phool Kumari, sharing the screen with Pratibha Ranta and Sparsh Shrivastava. Now, with her stunning Cannes debut, she has clearly announced her arrival on the international stage.
