Nancy Tyagi, the self-taught clothier from Uttar Pradesh’s Baghpat, walked the red carpet on the Cannes Film Festival for the second consecutive yr, carrying an outfit solely designed and crafted by herself.
After capturing international consideration in 2024 with her debut at Cannes, Tyagi returned for the movie gala’s 2025 version in a customized couture ensemble she spent over 700 hours creating.
The turquoise outfit, impressed by a backyard in full bloom, featured delicately hand-painted flowers, a structured corset bodice and a flowing floral silhouette, in response to a press launch.
“I walked here last year, and since then my life has completely changed. My outfit is inspired by flowers because I really love them. It took 700 hours to create this.
“Heartfelt because of everybody who has been part of this lovely journey. This second can be incomplete with out them,” Tyagi said in a statement.
