Kiara attended the Women In Cinema Gala organised by the Red Sea Film Festival in Cannes, wearing a striking pink and black corset gown.

Did Kiara Advani fake her accent at Cannes?

Speaking to the paparazzi, she expressed her excitement, saying, "It's very humbling. It's very very humbling. It's going to be a decade in my career now. So I think it comes at a very special moment as well. I'm truly so humbled to be here at Cannes for the first time and be honoured by the Red Sea Foundation for Women In Cinema. It's just such a humbling experience."
