Pakistani actress Sanam Saeed officially stepped onto the red carpet at the 79th Cannes Film Festival 2026
Sanam’s first Cannes look was a custom ivory and blue ensemble by designer Hussain Rehar. The white peacock-inspired outfit featured intricate mukaish, zardozi, and mirror work, crafted by 50 artisans over 2,354 hours.
She paired the backless, gharara-inspired gown with a cape-like dupatta, diamond ear cuffs, a maang tikka, and a white rose gajra in her braid. The look was a deliberate nod to South Asian aesthetics, bringing desi glam to the French Riviera. She attended the Sheep In The Box screening for her debut appearance.
