Designer Nancy Tyagi made a striking return to the red carpet at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, marking her second consecutive appearance at the prestigious global event.
Building on the acclaim she received during her debut last year, Nancy once again showcased her signature self-made style with a custom-designed ensemble that reflected both emotion and elegance.
For Day 2 at Cannes, she wore a two-piece couture outfit that balanced bold structure with delicate charm. The outer layer featured a dramatic champagne-toned satin cape with voluminous gathered puff sleeves, rich ruching, and a sweeping train that added theatrical flair.
Beneath the cape, Nancy wore a figure-hugging mini dress adorned with crystal fringe. The strapless dress was crafted from a sheer base, intricately embellished with beads, tassels, and crystals, adding a touch of modern glamour. Completing the look were crystal-studded stilettos with ankle straps and a matching handbag, echoing the sparkle of the ensemble.
Nancy shared that her look was a heartfelt tribute to her mother. &ldquo;This color is my mom&rsquo;s favorite, so I decided to design the dress in this shade,&rdquo; she said. &ldquo;It took me an entire month to make, and I was working on it right up until the last moment because of its weight. A heartfelt thank you to everyone who&rsquo;s been part of this beautiful journey&mdash;this moment wouldn&rsquo;t have been as special without all of you.&rdquo;
Her tribute and craftsmanship drew admiration across social media, further cementing her place as a rising name in fashion.
