Fashion influencer Nancy Tyagi made a stunning debut on the red carpet at the 77th Cannes Film Festival in a pink ruffled dress with a long train. Her self-made gown, which took her a month to create, received widespread attention and praise on the internet, including from actor Sonam Kapoor and fashion critic Sufi Motiwala.
In an Instagram post, Tyagi revealed that the gown was sewn from 1,000 meters of fabric and weighed more than 20 kilograms. “It feels surreal to be standing on the red carpet at the 77th Cannes Film Festival as your debut film. This pink gown was painstakingly crafted and took 30 days, 1000 meters of fabric, and weighs over 20 kg. The journey has been intense, but every moment has been worth it. I am filled with joy and gratitude for your love and support. Your support has made this a dream come true. I hope my work captivates you as much as it inspired me. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!” she wrote.
