Urvashi Rautela’s appearance at the 78th Cannes Film Festival has once again become a subject of intense social media scrutiny—but this time, it’s not about the glamour.
🌀 The Staircase Controversy:
A viral video captured Urvashi Rautela in a heavily embellished golden gown with dramatic cape sleeves, blocking a grand staircase at her hotel during a photoshoot. Guests trying to descend were visibly stuck behind her, unable to move without stepping into the shoot. Despite the awkward situation, Urvashi continued posing while her photographer clicked away—unmoved by the mounting queue.
- A guest smirking at the scene underscored the absurdity.
- Shared by Diet Sabya, the clip drew harsh backlash:
- “It’s called basic manners!”
- “Second-hand embarrassment at its peak.”
- “First woman to embarrass India.”
- “Cringe. Rude. Unnecessary.”
👜 Fashion Faux Pas – Again:
The staircase incident is only the latest in a string of awkward moments:
- She was earlier spotted carrying a handbag shaped like a bra-necklace hybrid, which quickly became meme material. Critics compared it to:
- A Naagin costume.
- Something out of Barbie’s closet during a midlife crisis.
👗 Wardrobe Malfunction Alert:
Days before, Urvashi walked the red carpet in a sheer black Naja Saade gown that appeared to be torn near her left armpit. The tear became a talking point online, with users questioning how such a glaring error made it past fittings and stylists.
🧨 Public Reaction:
The overwhelming sentiment on social media is one of disappointment and secondhand embarrassment, especially as Urvashi is perceived to be representing India on an international stage.
🗨️ Key Takeaway:
While red carpet appearances are meant to dazzle, courtesy and self-awareness go a long way—especially in global settings like Cannes. This episode serves as a reminder that elegance isn’t just in the gown—it’s in the gesture.
