New Delhi [India], May 17 (ANI): Bollywood actor Siddharth couldn't hold back his admiration for wife Aditi Rao Hydari after her striking appearance on the red carpet at the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival.

The actor shared a snapshot of Hydari walking up the iconic red steps on his Instagram Stories and captioned it with a succinct 'W.O.W.', as the actress' high-fashion look quickly gained traction online.

Hydari made a strong style statement at Cannes 2026 in a custom lime-green creation by Tony Ward Couture.

The ensemble featured a structured asymmetrical bodice, a dramatic flowing train, and a daring thigh-high slit. The sweeping cape silhouette added a touch of old-Hollywood glamour while maintaining a contemporary edge.

The couture look featured sculptural one-shoulder detailing with cosmic-inspired accents around the bodice, creating movement and dimension under the camera flashes. The fluid drape of the gown balanced the structured silhouette, while the sweeping train added dramatic flair to the red-carpet moment.
