Katrina Kaif makes red carpet debut at Cannes 2015

Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif turned heads in American designer Oscar De La Renta’s black off-shoulder gown at the 68th Cannes Film Festival 2015.

The 31-year-old British-Indian beauty, who made her first Cannes red carpet appearance at the prestigious festival, looked gorgeous in the elaborate gown with her side-swept red hair adorning soft curls.

She kept the <g data-gr-id="30">make-up</g> <g data-gr-id="31">minimal</g> and completed the look donning a pair of tear drop diamonds earrings and thin diamond bracelet.

The <g data-gr-id="32">Fitoor</g> star attended the <g data-gr-id="33">premier</g> of the French film “La Tete Haute” (Standing Tall) on the opening day of the festival.

“Hello from the @Festival_Cannes red carpet! #Cannes2015 #LorealParis @LOrealParisIn,” Katrina tweeted along with a picture.

Earlier in the day for media interviews, she opted for a white crop top and skirt with heels by Manolo Blahnik and jewellery by Maria Francesca Pepe.
