As the 77th Cannes Film Festival prepares to draw its curtain, it was Bollywood actor Preity Zinta, who took the fashion game to another level with her second look in a pink saree. She brought charm and elegance and took over the red carpet with her desi avatar. Preity wore a blush pink saree by Seema Gujral with intricate embellishments on it. For the glam, she opted for minimal makeup and accessories. Her wavy hair accentuated her ethnic look.

In an interaction with Brut, Preity explained why she chose a saree for the occasion. She said, “I do love Indian clothes. I think Indian clothes are stunning. On some occasions, it's nice to go va va voom, depending on what the mood is, and what the vibe is. But I don't think one should ever forget your roots. It's fun to wear something really Western when you're in India. But it's a lot of fun to wear Indian when you're not in India.”
Preity further revealed that as one grows older they emphasize comfort rather than dying in an outfit. She accessorised her look with her vintage Prada clutch that paired well with the saree.
Preity presented the award Pierre Angenieux ExcelLens in Cinematography honour to veteran cinematographer Santosh Sivan. The event took place on Friday at the iconic Palais de Festivals, celebrating the art of cinematography and the profound impact of Indian cinema on the global stage.
Preity graced the stage to present the award to Sivan, her longtime collaborator. Their professional journey began with Mani Ratnam's 1998 romantic drama 'Dil Se,' where Sivan's cinematography beautifully captured Zinta's debut performance.
The 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, which opened on May 14, will conclude on May 25.
Meanwhile, on the acting front, Preity is returning to the silver screen with Sunny Deol-starrer 'Lahore 1947'. Directed by Rajkumar Santoshi, it is produced by Aamir Khan. Shabana Azmi and Ali Fazal have also joined the cast. The movie will also feature Sunny’s elder son Karan Deol. The film was officially announced last October, garnering attention for its star-studded cast and promising storyline.
