Anushka Sharma ticked off her first professional date with the French Riviera as she made her Cannes debut, walking the red carpet for the premiere of The Old Oak. The actress' presence and ensuing debut at the French Riviera had been confirmed earlier this year. Prior to making her debut, Anushka had met the French ambassador to India, Emmanuel Lenain, with cricketer husband Virat Kohli in tow. The ambassador had also taken to his social media handles to share photos from the meeting. Now, Anushka's first glimpse from the Cannes Film Festival is here. She made an impressive debut on the red carpet in a shimmering Richard Quinn gown.

Anushka Sharma's Cannes look decoded

Looking resplendent in white and silver, Anushka's Cannes debut featured her in a floor length ensemble incorporating both texture and shimmer in one silhouette. The off-the-shoulder straight fit gown held lose ruffles fashioned as roses wrapping across her bust and arms. The remaining length of the gown was painted silver with evident diamond-shaped motifs covering its volume. Known for her sleek and neat sense of fashion, Anushka Sharma paired this elegant Richard Quinn number with a neat middle parted bun, suntle drop earrings and some bejeweled fingers.

Anushka Sharma at Cannes 2023

The actress' presence at Cannes was not without purpose - Anushka's attendance at Cannes is part of an effort to honour women in cinema, along side the like of Hollywood heavyweights such as Kate Winslet. Meanwhile, the 76th edition of the Festival de Cannes rolled out its red carpet on May 16. The 12-day long annual celebration of cinema has been home to innumerable premieres and screenings over its years, making for a rather celebrated cinema-centric event over the years.

Arguably one of the biggest red carpet events of the year, India has enjoyed continued representation on the French red carpet for years. This year too, several Indian names have graced the carpet ranging from regulars to debutantes. Among them are Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Mrunal Thakur, Mouni Roy, Diana Penty and Urvashi Rautela to name a few. Anushka Sharma has joined the list of attendees this year.
