Diana Penty wore a custom-designed couture ensemble by Amit Aggarwal at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival

The outfit reinterpreted the essence of Ikat using a futuristic and architectural design language

The couture piece explored the intersection of Indian textile heritage, technology, and evolving identity

The bodice featured Amit Aggarwal’s signature 3D sculptural construction with an armour-like fluidity

The garment was created using corded industrial techniques that sculpted the body through rhythmic linear formations

The design drew inspiration from the geometry, symmetry, and precision seen in traditional Ikat weaving

Textured pleating, beaded fringe detailing, and sculptural accents added movement and transformation to the ensemble

The look also incorporated the designer’s signature glitch embroidery using intricate glass bead detailing

According to Amit Aggarwal, the inspiration was to reimagine Ikat as a multidimensional and future-facing art form rather than static heritage

Diana’s poised and experimental presence added strength, sensuality, and individuality to the couture look, perfectly complementing the designer’s vision
