In Vogue’s Last Looks segment, Alia Bhatt talked while getting ready for her second red carpet appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2025. She said that it was her first time at the prestigious event. She mentioned that she was always excited but also quite nervous. Alia added that she actually enjoyed the chaos around such events. “It’s a bit strange, I don’t know why, but like the chaos always tends to find us,” she stated.

The actress shared that just a few minutes earlier, they had no electricity for four hours. Revealing her hairstylist’s hack during the outage, Alia said, “So Amit over here was actually taking my hair extensions, and he put it on a tong. And he put it out in the sun so that it could heat up because we had no electricity.”

Alia added they were figuring things out as they went along, and she was now very thankful that the electricity had come back.
