While hitting the Cannes red carpet, Sara spoke to shutterbugs where she proudly represented Indian culture. She said, "It's (outfit) a traditional and modern Indian handmade design by Abu and Sandeep (Khosla). I've always been proud of my Indianness. It embodies who I am, it's fresh, it's modern, and also has traditional roots."

The designers through an Instagram post wrote that the Kedarnath actress arrived at the red carpet in an exquisite hand-embroidered multi-panel skirt.
