Urvashi Rautela amazed at the Cannes Film Festival 2025, posing in a show-stopping peacock-print Michael Cinco gown. Urvashi Rautela breaks silence on becoming the subject of trolling on social media as her followers unfavorably compared it to Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s iconic Cannes appearance in 2018.
Soon after Urvashi walked down the red carpet, netizens took over social media criticizing, saying she was imitating Aishwarya Rai. Some other users disapproved of her styling outfit, while others mocked her on the dramatic accessories, such as a parrot-shaped clutch embedded with crystals.
While criticized for what they saw as an imitation, Urvashi never let anybody bring her down and retaliated against the attack with grace. She defended her fashion sense as an original piece of work rather than an imitation.
Urvashi Rautela said, ”So, apparently, I’m ”trying to be Aishwarya Rai with 0 Charishma”?
Darling…. Aishwarya is iconic. But I am not here to be anyone’s duplicate. I am the blueprint.
Cannes didn’t invite me to blend in – I came to stand out.
If my look, my style or my confidence makes you uncomfortable… maybe take a deep breath (or two). I am not everyone’s cup of tea – I am more like Champagne with fireworks.
And Charishma? Sweetheart, If you could measure it, it’d break the scale.
To all the key board critics – Keep talking.
To all the Queens owning their space – keep slaying.
To myself – Keep shining, because no one does it like you.

Fashion Experts Weigh In
While some fashion critics praised Urvashi’s bold and theatrical outfit, others pointed out similarities between her gown and Aishwarya’s past Cannes look. This debate also sparked discussions on originality in celebrity fashion. The cannes and other fashion events has been lowering their standards by making the entry to not just actors but also social media influencers. The extreme pressure to stand out on global platforms has been bringing the comparisions.
Urvashi’s Cannes appearance may have divided opinions, but it undeniably kept her in the spotlight. Whether inspired or coincidental, her look continues to be a talking point in the fashion world.
