Cannes 2026 fashion row chatter grew after fans and critics compared Urvashi Rautela's ivory-and-gold saree with a famous earlier look.

The online debate centered on resemblance, with users pointing to the white-and-gold palette, ornate blouse styling and overall red-carpet effect.

Many viewers brought up Gigi Hadid's Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla saree from NMACC, a look already stored in fashion-watch memory.

The fairest wording is copying claims, not proven plagiarism. Fashion references overlap, but Cannes scrutiny makes familiar styling harder to escape.

A controversial outfit at Cannes does not stay local. Photos move across fan pages, watchdog accounts and entertainment feeds within minutes.
