Lingerie Styles You Need for Cannes 2025 Inspired Looks
Every year, as soon as Cannes Film Festival season hits, we all somehow find ourselves in the same place- diving deep into Instagram, watching red carpet reels on loop, stories behind the inspiration of celebs coming up with their Cannes look. But something that bothers us women the most is: what exactly do they wear underneath all those shiny strapless dresses, gowns and more?
But Wait, What Exactly is Cannes ?
For those who don’t know, the Cannes Film Festival, which first started in 1946 as a celebration of global and international cinema, has grown into one of the most prestigious film festivals. It’s where international filmmakers, actors, and industry insiders gather to showcase their films. But for many of us, like me, back home, it is a star-studded event to see how Indian celebrities are making their mark globally.
Similarly, this year, it’s no different. Actually, it is a more a little more exciting. There’s a whole new wave of Indian talents joining the Cannes club, and let’s just say, our social media feed is full of indian creators, filmmakers and actors showing up on the red carpet.
Cannes-Inspired Looks, But Make it Lingerie Edition
The Classic Strapleess Gown Ft Nitanshi Goyal
Nitanshi, who rose to fame with Lapata Ladies, is the youngest ever actress to make it it Cannes. She looked extremely gorgeous in an off-shoulder black gown designed with delicate, intricate golden embroidery that added a royal touch to her look. Because her dress was in bold black colour, the best lingerie to pair with it has to be a black padded strapless bra. This bra comes with both material and transparent straps, offers full coverage and also gives silicon taping on the cups for a better hold.
Statement Look in Shimmer Short Dress Ft Nancy Tyagi
Queen of DIY, Nancy Tyagi went viral with her ‘outfits from scratch’ videos a few years ago. She returned to Cannes this year in a self-designed short dress in beige. She wore a stunning dress styled with a shrug cover, handcrafted with intricate gold sequins and beads. The delicate ruffle kind of shrug further elevated the dramatic flair of her dress. These kinds of outfits are perfect for a fancy dinner affairs or even for a wedding cocktail party where you don’t want to go desi. To complete this look, you can go for a balconette bra with invisi straps and back band.
The OG Indo-western Look Ft Masoom Minnawala
Masoom Minawala looked ethereal in a timeless white off-shoulder jumpsuit and a beige color off -shoulder gown styled with a dupatta kind of thing. Both her outfits featured delicate pearl and sequin embellishments, adding just the right amount of sparkle to her overall ensemble. What truly made her stand out was her hairdo that perfectly balanced her look. Now, if you style something strapless like her beige colored off-shoulder dress, then you have to have a nude coloured balconette bra that can be worn without straps. These bras over full coverage cups with an underwired design to keep your breasts in place. What works the best is its silicon taping alongside the edges of the cups that helps to hold the bra altogether in one place.
Classic Bollywood Saree Look Ft Sarah Sarosh
Dreamy, elegant look with dramatic sleeves of white saree in the city of Cannes. Feels typical bollywood right? The borders of the white sarees has red color rose embroidery that whispers of hard work of designers who brought indin culture to foreign land showcasing a tapestry of heritage mixed with Sarah’s beautiful aura. To style saree looks like this with full sleeved blouses, any basic everyday T-shirt bra with full coverage works the best! And if you are plus size, go for a minimizer bra.
Gown with Main Character Vibes Ft Shalini Passi
Fabulous Lives of Bollywood Wives fame, Shalini Passi, belongs to the elite circle of Delhi’s high-profile socialites. As seen in the pictures, Shalini looks gorgeous in a strapless grey gown that unleashes a chic and classic vibe with its body-hugging fit. She wore a signature Dolce & Gabbana design at Cannes 2025, featuring fish-cut detailing at the bottom. These kind of glamorous gowns with shimmer detailing are perfect for cocktail parties, fancy dinners, or even corporate events.
But the real question is—what kind of innerwear works best with such dresses? The answer is an underwired strapless bra in a matching grey shade. Its full-coverage design helps prevent spillage under a structured gown, while the underwire offers the ideal support for a confident and seamless look.
Desi Girl Goes Global in Saree Ft Jahnvi Kapoor
A basic white sheer saree, but make it sultry with water-sculpted drape! This sensuous and glamorous wet-look ensemble, curated by Di Petsa for Jahnvi Kapoor at Cannes 2025, and we love every bit of this look. This body-hugging ivory fluid saree look was created with shimmering emerald neckpiece, earrings and go-to sleek bun. The matching white blouse with off-shoulder blouse exudes a traditional touch with a modern element. If you’re a sucker for sarees but love a bit of Indo-western flair, this look is your perfect muse. To recreate this style, all you need is a well-fitted strapless blouse and the right shapewear to keep the drape flawless and fuss-free.
Well, with this lineup, Cannes 2025 feels less like a red carpet and more like a celebration of how Indian cinema and talent continue to show up! The event continues for almost 2 weeks, where we stay glued to the feed over the next few days. It feels so exciting and thrilling to watch these beautiful women walk on the red carpet and take some fashion inspiration for us as well.
