Aditi Rao Hydari Wows at Cannes 2025 in Raw Mango’s Regal Sultanah Sari

Cannes: Making heads turn on the international red carpet yet again, Aditi Rao Hydari made a powerful style statement at Cannes 2025, draped in the exquisite Sultanah red Mashru sari from the celebrated Indian design house, Raw Mango.

Known for her ethereal beauty and sartorial elegance, Aditi’s appearance this year is a glorious ode to Indian textiles, heritage craftsmanship, and contemporary design. The Sultanah sari, rendered in a bold yet elegant red, is a stunning Mashru weave composed entirely of silk — both warp and weft — creating an almost liquid-like sheen that photographs like poetry and moves like a dream. The look is an arresting blend of classic and modern — a testament to Raw Mango’s continuous evolution of India’s cultural identity through textile. Aditi’s appearance was not just a fashion moment, but a celebration of Indian design on a global stage.

Crafted with a deep understanding of silk’s potential, the Sultanah sari is loved for its sumptuous tactility, outward lustre, and ability to be both rooted and experimental. It reflects the cultural confidence Raw Mango brings to all its creations — weaving together the past and present in a single, elegant silhouette. The Sultanah sari worn by Aditi Rao Hydari is currently available at Raw Mango’s Lavelle Road store in Bengaluru, as well as across all Raw Mango outlets in India and online.

Time and again, Aditi Rao Hydari has emerged as a muse for designers who celebrate India’s rich legacy with a modern outlook. Her choice to wear Raw Mango at Cannes 2025 speaks volumes about her consistent dedication to showcasing Indian craftsmanship on global platforms. It’s no surprise that Raw Mango, under the visionary leadership of Sanjay Garg, is at the forefront of this cultural expression. With a philosophy rooted in heritage and experimentation, the label has redefined Indian handloom for the modern wardrobe. Whether it’s Chanderi, Benarasi, Ikat or Mashru — each textile tells a story, and each garment becomes a medium of that narrative.

Founded in 2008, Raw Mango has evolved into one of India’s most iconic design houses. It draws from the colors, philosophies, and cultures of India, using craft as a tool for storytelling. Rooted in tradition but unafraid of breaking the mold, the brand constantly questions norms, challenges design tropes, and offers a contemporary lens to classic Indian silhouettes. Created in collaboration with karigars across Rajasthan, Varanasi, West Bengal, and Madhya Pradesh, Raw Mango’s work celebrates handloom, community, and individuality. The Sultanah sari, like all its designs, is not merely a garment — it is a conversation piece.

The creative force behind Raw Mango, Sanjay Garg has carved a path defined by deep research, innovation, and aesthetic vision. Hailing from Mubarikpur, Rajasthan, and trained in textile design, Garg began his journey by reinventing Chanderi — a textile he visually and structurally reimagined. Over time, his explorations expanded into Mashru, Benarasi, and Ikat, creating a fresh design vocabulary for Indian handloom. With Cannes 2025 witnessing one of his most iconic pieces on a star like Aditi Rao Hydari, Sanjay Garg’s vision reaches yet another international milestone.

In a sea of international couture and global fashion houses, Aditi Rao Hydari’s Raw Mango sari at Cannes 2025 stands tall as a celebration of Indian textiles. It’s a gentle reminder that luxury doesn’t always mean excess — sometimes, it’s a simple, fluid red silk sari that holds centuries of tradition and years of innovation in every pleat. For those who value timeless elegance, cultural depth, and sartorial storytelling, Raw Mango’s Sultanah sari is a piece worth investing in — now available in Bengaluru and online for global admirers.
