From Runway to Reality: Parul Gulati’s Braided Hair Dress Stuns at Cannes
A Head-Turning Debut at Cannes
Entrepreneur and actor Parul Gulati made a bold statement at her Cannes red carpet debut, sporting a truly unique creation: a dress made entirely of braided hair! For the screening of ‘Eddington’ on May 16th, Gulati stunned in a strapless, black braid-studded gown.
A Unique Ode to Hair
The dress, a collaboration between fashion stylist Mohit Rai, designer Riddhi Bansal, and Gulati herself, was a striking blend of sultry and edgy. The sweetheart neckline and asymmetrical hem added a touch of elegance, while the cascading braids gave it a dramatic, almost tribal feel. This daring look wasn’t just a fashion statement; it was a testament to Gulati’s business, Nish Hair, which specializes in high-quality hair extensions, wigs, and toppers made from 100% human hair.
Months in the Making
Bringing this vision to life took a dedicated team of 12 skilled artisans and over a month of meticulous craftsmanship. It’s clear that a lot of love and effort went into creating this one-of-a-kind piece.
Keeping it Simple
Gulati let the dress be the star of the show, keeping her accessories minimal. A simple bun, dazzling earrings, and light makeup allowed the intricate braids to take center stage.
A Dream Manifested
Prior to the festival, Gulati shared with India Today that she had manifested her dream of attending Cannes. She wanted her look to reflect who she is, something unique and personal.
Braids on Trend
Gulati’s braided hair dress isn’t just a one-off event; it’s part of a larger trend in the fashion world. Braids have become a major design element, even gracing the runway at Schiaparelli, where they were incorporated into a daring necktie that even Bollywood star Karan Johar loved.
