Alia Bhatt recently made her much-awaited debut on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival on May 23, and heartwarming moments from the event are still emerging online. A new video clip has captured a special interaction between Alia and other L’Oréal brand ambassadors, including actress Elle Fanning, known for playing Aurora in Maleficent.
Alia Shows Her Supportive Side
In the video, Alia can be seen walking the Cannes red carpet alongside fellow L’Oréal representatives such as Simone Ashley and Elle Fanning, while photographers capture the moment. As she climbs the steps of the Grand Lumière Theatre, Alia notices Elle struggling to manage the long train of her dress.
Despite wearing a figure-hugging and elaborate gown by Schiaparelli, Alia doesn’t hesitate. She quickly bends down to lift the train of Elle’s dress, helping her walk up the stairs with ease. This kind and thoughtful act has been widely praised.

Fans Appreciate Alia’s Kindness
The video spread quickly on social media, and many fans praised Alia for her sweet gesture. One admirer wrote, “Proof that we made the right woman famous.” Another said, “She’s always helping and uplifting others.” A third fan commented, “It’s such a sweet gesture from Alia… why people are negative in everything. She looks stunning.”
Social Media Reactions – From Sweet to Spicy
On Reddit, users had some playful but pointed observations. Some fans remembered an old moment when Alia’s husband, actor Ranbir Kapoor, reacted very differently during an event. At that time, her lehenga trailed behind her, and Ranbir was seen kicking it as she walked ahead.
One Reddit comment read, “Ranbir would have kicked it with his foot :P.” Another added, “Ranbir could learn a thing or two.” These comparisons added a humorous twist to the discussion.
Several fans also enjoyed seeing Alia being relaxed and enjoying herself at such a prestigious event. One user said, “She looks so good when she’s laughing and being carefree. I know she is trying to build a calm, sophisticated image, but it’s nice to see them being normal.”
Alia and Elle’s Cannes Outings
Alia and Elle both attended the premiere of the film The Mastermind on Friday, where they made their first red carpet appearance together. The next day, they returned to the red carpet for the Cannes closing ceremony.
For that appearance, Alia wore a beautiful Gucci ensemble inspired by a saree, while Elle looked elegant in a frilly gown.
