Actress Prajakta Mali brought a strong regional Indian jewellery story to Cannes with her appearance in Waman Hari Pethe Jewellers. Known for her work in Marathi cinema and television, Prajakta carried the look with elegance, confidence and cultural pride.
Dressed in a deep crimson gown against a coastal backdrop, she wore a ruby and diamond statement necklace that became the focal point of the styling. The look was not just a celebrity appearance, but a moment where Indian jewellery heritage found visibility on a global stage.
The Look
The styling followed a powerful red-on-red visual story. The structured crimson gown created a dramatic base, while the choker-style necklace added brilliance through diamonds and deep ruby accents.
The diamonds brought luminosity, while the rubies echoed the colour of the gown with richness and depth. Matching earrings completed the look without overpowering the necklace, keeping the focus on the face and neckline.
The overall impact was elegant, festive and cinematic.
Brand Spotlight
Waman Hari Pethe Jewellers brings strong legacy value to this appearance. With its 117-year association with Maharashtrian jewellery culture, the brand represents trust, tradition and craftsmanship.
Its Cannes presentation shows how a heritage Indian jewellery house can move beyond regional retail and enter a wider luxury conversation. The jewellery feels rooted, yet modern enough for a global red-carpet setting.
Prajakta Mali’s Cannes look reflects the growing presence of regional Indian jewellery brands on international platforms. The ruby and diamond combination gives the styling richness, colour and occasion value.
For jewellers, the look also highlights an important retail direction: colour-led diamond jewellery can move beyond bridal wear into red-carpet, festive and luxury fashion styling.
When craftsmanship is strong and styling is sharp, heritage becomes the statement.
