Urvashi Rautela parrot clutch stole the spotlight at Cannes 2025

Trust Urvashi Rautela to make Cannes feel like a full-blown fashion carnival. The actor, a regular at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival, returned to the red carpet this year for the opening ceremony and the screening of Partir un jour (Leave One Day), and boy, did she leave a mark.

Urvashi Rautela at Cannes 2025

Wearing a strapless structured dress that looked like the lovechild of a Crayola box and a sci-fi costume department, Urvashi made heads turn in the most colourful way. The gown was a chaotic blend of red, blue and yellow — bold, loud, and unapologetically extra. But it was not the dress that had the internet gasping, it was the clutch.

No ordinary accessory, her clutch was a parrot-shaped, crystal-encrusted piece of drama, reportedly by designer Judith Leiber. Price tag? A casual $5,495 (₹4.68 lakh). The kicker? Urvashi literally kissed the bird bag on the red carpet like it was her co-star in a telenovela.

Why is everyone talking about Urvashi Rautela’s Cannes 2025 look?

While some fans were here for the maximalist energy, others were more... confused. A few Instagram users were in awe, calling her look “camp” and “iconic,” while one fashion commentator jokingly said she looked like a “design machine studio on a sugar rush.” Someone else dropped a Moulin Rouge x Mayur Vihar crossover reference, and honestly? That is oddly accurate.

And of course, Diet Sabya had to weigh in, confirming the bag’s jaw-dropping price and throwing the internet into another spiral. Amidst the chaos, someone even speculated whether her recent Daaku Maharaaj film had been screened at Cannes. Spoiler alert: It has not.

Urvashi has had quite the eventful past year, with her controversial song Dabidi Dibidi facing flak for being too risqué, and following it up with Touch Kiya from Jaat. Now, she is gearing up for Welcome to the Jungle and Kasoor 2. But for now, it is her sparkly bird bag that is hogging all the Cannes clout.

Did she slay? Did she camp? Was it satire? The jury is out, but one thing is for sure — nobody is forgetting that parrot anytime soon.
