Guwahati, 13th May: Renowned actor and filmmaker Aimee Baruah is poised to captivate audiences at the Bharat Pavilion during the esteemed 77th Cannes Film Festival, slated to unfold from May 14th to 25th.
Baruah, who made waves on the red carpet for the second consecutive year in 2023, is renowned for her bold fashion choices. Last year, she made a striking statement by donning a traditional Assamese red and black pat silk Mekhela Chador. Sources close to the actress revealed that Cannes protocol permits either a gown or traditional attire for the red carpet, and Baruah opted to showcase the culturally rich heritage of her home state, Assam, through her attire.
The exquisite Mekhela Chador adorning Baruah was meticulously crafted by local weavers and artisans from Jalukbari, under the creative direction of emerging designer Adityam Saikia. The choice of muga silk further enhanced the ensemble’s elegance and cultural significance, encapsulating the essence of Assamese craftsmanship and tradition.
As a recipient of the prestigious National Film Award, Baruah’s appearance at Cannes not only celebrates her artistic prowess but also serves as a beacon for promoting the diversity and beauty of Indian traditional attire on the global stage. Her presence at the Bharat Pavilion promises to mesmerize attendees and underscore the enduring allure of India’s cultural heritage amidst the glitz and glamour of Cannes.
