Cannes 2024: Nancy Tyagi Turns Heads In A DIY Sequined Saree For Her Second Look, Sonam Kapoor Labels It 'Best Outfit'

Nancy Tyagi delighted her followers by sharing a video documenting the creation of her second outfit. The footage starts with her excursion to a nearby market, where she selects a lavender-coloured, sequined fabric. She meticulously guides viewers through each stage of stitching the fabric to crafting a beautiful saree. Additionally, she also crafts a coordinating headpiece to enhance the overall ensemble.

In the caption, she wrote, “My second outfit from the Cannes Film Festival, which I wore at a special event, is another creation made entirely by me. This ensemble is a saree featuring intricate hand embroidery. Every piece was meticulously crafted and assembled by me.”

The fashion influencer designed her own lavender pre-draped saree adorned with intricate bead, sequin, and thread embroidery in a floral pattern. Known for her DIY abilities, she employed a unique draping technique to achieve the saree’s distinctive appearance, featuring a low-rise waistline, a side slit, a floor-sweeping train, and a pallu extending to the floor, forming another long train.

Complementing the saree, she wore a matching embellished blouse with full-length sleeves, a backless design held together by spaghetti ribbon ties, a cowl neckline, a hood over her head, and a cropped hem. Accessories included silver hoop earrings, lavender block heels, statement rings, and bead hair embellishments. Her hair was styled in a sleek centre-parted bun, while her makeup enhanced her overall look, making her look like a princess.

In fact, actress Sonam Kapoor, who is known for her appearances at the film festival, re-shared the influencer’s video on her Instagram Stories. “Best outfit in Cannes.” She then requested Nancy to design an outfit for her, saying, “Make me something @nancytyagi__.”

Nancy Tyagi’s creativity has not only made her a standout at the French Riviera but also an inspiration to many aspiring designers. For her first appearance, she dazzled in a pink gown that she created all by herself, and walked the red carpet, which was her “dream come true” moment.
