The ensemble was a creation of the Kosovo-based designer duo Kujta & Meri. Kukta and Meri's creation was breathtaking by any standard; a fitted bodice featuring diadems to emphasize the gown’s structure was matched with a smooth skirt that flared out like a fountain of molten gold, as though sculpted in the gilded hallways of an ancient empire. It captured Deepti’s spirit beautifully—brutal, aloof but surreal and regal— “For me, this look at the Cannes 2025 closing ceremony is not just fashion, it’s a modern feeling of royal,” Deepti stated. “It's a Cleopatra-inspired outfit exuding royalty and giving me the goddess vibe.” And indeed, she did look every bit the goddess—encased in molten gold and glowing effortlessly.

What also made her presence magnetic was the meaning behind her fashion choice. For an Indian actress representing her country with a movie at the renowned festival, Deepti wearing an outfit that blends different cultures was striking. “I chose this because it speaks to the kind of woman I aspire to be on the global stage: unapologetically powerful, rooted in grace, and unafraid to take up space,” she said.

There was something hypnotic about how the outfit merged drama with elegance—armour and poetry all at once. The gold-drenched fabric shimmered with each movement, catching the camera flashes like a thousand suns paying homage. “Channelling Cleopatra, dripping in drama,” she captioned one of her photos—a statement that echoed the impact of her appearance.

Social media erupted with admiration, praising her as the "Indian in Egyptian Queen avatar" and hailing her look as "Gold-drenched glamour with a legacy of power." The red carpet had seen many stunning appearances this season, but Deepti’s entrance felt like a cultural moment. “Cannes got her new goddess,” fans wrote. And truly, it did.

For Deepti, it wasn’t just about making a fashion statement. “I wanted to close this chapter in something that doesn’t whisper elegance, it declares legacy,” she remarked—and declare she did. From shimmer to power-draped gold, she redefined what it means to walk the red carpet—not as just another celebrity, but as a symbol of heritage, ambition, and unshakeable poise.

Cannes had its moment—and it was her. Deepti Radiating Goddess Energy on Closing Ceremony. In a sea of style, Deepti Sadhwani emerged as a legend—wrapped in gold, guided by history, and ready to write her own legacy.
