Urvashi Rautela suffers wardrobe mishap at Cannes 2025; Reddit calls her ¡®the first Indian actress to wear a torn dress at Cannes¡¯

Urvashi Rautela¡¯s Cannes comeback has once again delivered headlines, and not all for the right reasons. The actress made an early appearance at the French Riviera this year, becoming the first Indian actress (no jokes) to walk the red carpet at Cannes 2025. But while her second look was arguably one of her better fashion choices in recent memory, a small wardrobe malfunction turned into the real show. A tear in the mesh panel of her gown caught the camera¡¯s eye, and on expected lines, the internet didn¡¯t let it slide.

Urvashi kicked off her Cannes season with a multicoloured gown and a parrot-shaped clutch, a look that has its own moment. However, it was her second red carpet appearance that really fired up social media. Not for the gown itself, but for the rip in it that ignited a memefest within hours. As usual, netizens were quick to take note of the same, crowning her the ¡°first Indian actress to wear a torn dress at Cannes.¡±

Urvashi's second look breakdown: dark glam with a wardrobe twist

For her second appearance, Urvashi stepped out in a black ball gown that was giving major gothic glam. The skirt was voluminous and ruched, adding dramatic flair, while the bodice featured a sweetheart neckline overlaid with sheer mesh that extended into full sleeves.

Her hair was styled in an elegant updo with soft curls framing her face. Drop earrings added sparkle, and a vibrant fuchsia clutch added just the right amount of color against the all-black ensemble. But just below her left shoulder, the mesh had torn, exposing a small patch of skin that quickly became the focal point online.

Reddit reacts to Urvashi's torn dress.

¡°Urvashi becomes the first Indian actress to wear a torn outfit at Cannes,¡± one user quipped, summing up the internet¡¯s tone.

Another chimed in, ¡°She¡¯s having a real streak¡ªfirst her dress got caught in a revolving door, then she showed up looking like a parrot and carrying one, and now it¡¯s a torn gown. First Indian actress to suffer a whole series of Cannes mishaps.¡±

Someone else added, ¡°It¡¯s unfortunate. She¡¯s totally delusional, but this could¡¯ve been a solid red carpet moment for her. To her credit (?), she¡¯s definitely not short on confidence.¡±

One user mentioned: ¡°Now we¡¯re gonna get a full one-hour podcast about her ¡®Cannes journey¡¯¡ªfrom the torn dress to how she ¡®gracefully¡¯ became the first Indian actress to walk in a ripped gown. Then it¡¯ll go viral, she¡¯ll be invited to every other podcast, and we¡¯ll hear the exact same story several multiple times. My head already hurts.¡±
