Actress Nitanshi Goel, who rose to fame with the widely acclaimed Laapataa Ladies, is making her Cannes debut this year. All of 17, Nitanshi won hearts with her tender performance as Phool in the Kiran Rao directorial, which was also India’s official entry for the Oscars last year. Now, the actress has brought her Bollywood roots to France, paying tribute to iconic female stars with her attire.

Nitanshi pays tribute to Bollywood legends

For her first look during the India Pavilion inauguration at the prestigious film festival, Nitanshi paid homage to legends of Indian cinema. The highlight of her look was a stunning pearl hair accessory. The strand of pearls by Be Abhika, cascading from her hair, was a tribute to Bollywood's iconic actresses from a bygone era. Tiny photo frames were threaded through the pearls, each honoring legends like Madhubala, Rekha, Sridevi, Vyjayanthimala, Hema Malini, Waheeda Rehman, and Nutan.
