Cannes Fame

Notably, Nitanshi Goel made history as the youngest Indian actress to walk the Cannes red carpet. For her big debut, the 17-year-old dazzled in a custom black and gold gown, styled with a delicate gold swirl choker, statement serpentine earrings, rings, and towering heels. Her fresh, dewy makeup—with pink gloss, kohl-rimmed eyes, and a soft flush—perfectly completed the dreamy look, earning her instant praise across the internet.

Nitanshi made her acting debut with Kiran Rao’s critically acclaimed Laapataa Ladies, which hit theatres in 2023. The satirical comedy also starred Sparsh Srivastava, Pratibha Ranta, Ravi Kishan, and Chhaya Kadam in pivotal roles. Produced by Aamir Khan Productions, the film gained major recognition and was chosen as India’s official entry to the Oscars 2025.
