Preity was a sight for sore eyes in Cannes 2024 as she posed in a shimmering pearl white gown. Assisted by the celebrity fashion stylist Leepakshi Ellawadi, her outfit was accessorized with a set of pearl earrings.

Makeup artist Jay Kanojia gave her nude shimmering eyeshadow, along with winged eyeliner, and thick eyebrows. Her makeup was completed with contoured cheekbones, and nude lipstick. As for hair, stylist Malinge Florian tied those tresses into a messy bun, leaving a section of hair framing her face.

Personifying elegance, the diva faced the camera by the riverside in the video.

Her second look for Cannes 2024 was a mesmerizing pink saree by designer Seema Gujral with intricate sequin work. She paired her saree with a matching blouse with a plunging neckline. The saree was complemented with silver earrings studded with purple emeralds and a simple diamond bracelet.

For those who do not know, Preity made her Cannes debut back in 2006. During her primary visit, she attended the premieres of “The Wind That Shakes The Barley” and “Paris, Je T’aime.”

She returned to the festival in 2013, when she was representing the luxury watch brand Chopard as its brand ambassador. Her third appearance was 11 years later in 2024.

Coming to her work commitments, Preity will be making her Bollywood comeback with Rajkumar Santoshi's “Lahore 1947," where she will be seen alongside Sunny Deol.

Preity Zinta is aging like fine wine! 😍 That pearl white gown was pure elegance. So happy to see her back in Bollywood after Lahore 1947 announcement. 90s kids like me are thrilled!

While she looks stunning, I wish she'd chosen more Indian outfits for both appearances. That pink saree was gorgeous, but Cannes is a great platform to showcase our rich textiles.

Her makeup was on point! That nude shimmer look is perfect for Indian skin tones. Jay Kanojia did amazing work. Can't wait to see what she brings to Lahore 1947 - Sunny-Preity pairing after so many years!

Honestly, our Bollywood stars spend too much time and money on these foreign events. Would rather see Preity doing more films than walking red carpets. But she does look beautiful, no doubt.

That messy bun hairstyle is everything! So effortless yet glamorous. Preity has always had that girl-next-door charm that makes her relatable. Excited for her comeback - Bollywood needs more actresses like her!

Remember her in Dil Chahta Hai and Kal Ho Naa Ho? Such nostalgia! Glad she's returning to films. Though I hope she chooses meaningful roles - she's too talented for just flowerpot characters.
