Fashion designer and content creator Nancy Tyagi made another powerful statement at the Cannes Film Festival, turning heads with not one but two jaw-dropping looks. Known for her creative brilliance and self-stitched designs, she once again stole the spotlight—particularly with her second-day outfit, which dazzled on the red carpet.
Tyagi’s second look featured a heavily embellished mini-dress adorned with pearls, silver accents, and fringe details. Shimmery and bold, the outfit was elevated further with an oversized cape boasting puffy sleeves and a dramatic train that followed her with every elegant stride. It was fashion with flair—modern, glamorous, and eye-catching.
What made her appearance even more special was the emotional note she shared on social media. “This color is my mom’s favorite,” she wrote in Hindi, “so I chose it for this dress. It took me a month to make it, and I worked until the very last minute because it was quite heavy. Thank you from the bottom of my heart to everyone who’s been a part of this beautiful journey.”
But soon after the photos went viral, the internet buzzed with controversy. A group of fashion critics questioned the authenticity of her claim, alleging that the mini-dress was not handcrafted by Nancy but instead sourced from a brand called The Source Bombay. According to the critics, they contacted the brand directly, which reportedly confirmed the designer obtained the outfit from them.
They emphasized that while Nancy may have crafted the cape herself, the way she worded her caption created the impression that the entire ensemble was self-stitched—a detail they found misleading.
The revelation has since ignited fierce debate across social media. While many fans continue to applaud Nancy’s journey and creativity, others are demanding transparency. Supporters argue that her talent is undeniable, even if only part of the outfit was handmade. Meanwhile, skeptics are calling for clearer communication from influencers who build their brand on authenticity.
As the debate unfolds, one thing remains clear—Nancy Tyagi has the world watching, and the conversation around creator integrity in the fashion industry is more relevant than ever.
