Urvashi Rautela asked to leave Cannes 2025 Red Carpet for overstaying on the red carpet

At the prestigious 78th Cannes Film Festival 2025, Indian actress Urvashi Rautela once again managed to grab headlines—but this time, for an unexpected reason. During the opening ceremony, Urvashi’s flamboyant appearance and prolonged posing session on the red carpet led to her being politely escorted off by the event’s ushers, sparking a wave of online chatter.

Known for her extravagant fashion choices, Urvashi made a grand entrance in a strapless, structured ensemble adorned in vibrant hues of blue, red, and yellow.

Complementing her bold outfit, she sported a matching tiara and carried a standout accessory—a Judith Leiber crystal-studded parrot-shaped clutch worth approximately $5,695 (around ₹4.85 lakh).

Her dramatic makeup, with shimmering blue and purple eyeshadow, silver accents, and a rosy flush on her cheeks, emphasized her signature over-the-top glamour.

While Urvashi posed confidently on the red carpet, a video surfaced showing ushers gently requesting her to vacate the space. Speculation quickly emerged online that she had overstayed her time on the carpet, causing a delay in the tightly scheduled proceedings. Many netizens weighed in with mixed reactions—some applauding her unapologetic presence, while others felt she had crossed a line by hogging the limelight too long.

Social media was quick to debate the incident, with fans defending her confidence and critics pointing out the importance of respecting event protocols. The episode became one of the most talked-about moments at Cannes this year, highlighting how even a few extra seconds on the red carpet can become a global talking point.

On the professional front, Urvashi has a busy year ahead. After the success of Daaku Maharaj, she recently wrapped up shooting for Ghuspaithiya, a remake of the Tamil hit Thirutta Payale 2. She is also set to make her Telugu lead debut in Black Rose, and will soon be seen in the Hollywood film Renata Fonte, alongside Italian actor Michele Morrone.

Despite the Cannes incident, Urvashi Rautela continues to be a fashion force and a conversation starter, both on and off the red carpet.
