The glamorous gown, titled the \"mermaid dress,\" took over a thousand hours to craft and featured 30,000 heart-shaped sequins in iridescent shades of blue and turquoise. Bhavitha's appearance marked her first-ever appearance at the prestigious festival, where she attended the screening of \"Mr. Nelson, Did You Kill People?\" Donning a turquoise Chanel Resort 2027 gown, the model embodied the mythical siren emerging from the water. The gown's intricate embroidery and layered flounces created a captivating aquatic effect when illuminated by light.
