Preity didn't hold back on the glamour. For her first look, she went full-on Hollywood glam in a stunning white gown. We're talking shimmering beads, sequins, pearls, and crystals – all coming together to create a masterpiece designed by Vivienne Lorikeet. Her makeup and hair were done by Jay Kanojia – the professional makeup artist and Malinge Florain — the hairstylist. This wasn't just a dress, it was a red carpet moment for the history books!

But wait, there's more! For her second appearance, Preity embraced her desi roots and turned heads in a gorgeous pink ombre sequin saree by Seema Gujral. This wasn't your average sparkly saree, though. It had this subtle, delicate vibe that screamed understated elegance – a breath of fresh air amidst the usual sea of dramatic ball gowns.

Well, besides looking drop-dead gorgeous, Preity was also there to present the prestigious Pierre Angenieux Award to the legendary Indian cinematographer, Santosh Sivan. Talk about girl power supporting Indian talent on the international stage!

Whether you swooned over her Hollywood glam or fell for her desi dream, one thing's for sure: Preity Zinta reminded the world why she's a Bollywood icon. Her return to Cannes was a masterclass in fashion, a celebration of Indian talent, and a powerful reminder that some stars just never lose their shine.  Here's to hoping this isn't the last we see of Preity gracing the Cannes red carpet – after all, a queen deserves a throne, and the Cannes spotlight is waiting for her return!
