Celebrating the convergence of jewellery, fashion, and global culture, Vandana M. Jagwani made a landmark appearance at the 79th Cannes Film Festival in association with BMW India, representing a shared vision of innovation, craftsmanship, and progressive luxury on an international platform.

A dynamic entrepreneur redefining the landscape of luxury jewellery and design-led ventures, Jagwani is the Founder & Partner of Vandals, India’s first designer lab-grown diamond jewellery brand, and the Creative Director of Mahesh Notandass, a legacy jewellery house known for its exceptional craftsmanship and global presence. Recognised for her contemporary design sensibility and commitment to innovation, her presence at Cannes highlighted the growing global influence of Indian jewellery design at one of the world’s most prestigious cultural events.

For her red-carpet appearance, Jagwani wore a stunning holographic Ramikadi ensemble, seamlessly blending futuristic glamour with contemporary Indian fashion. In a meaningful expression of conscious luxury, the ensemble was reimagined from an outfit she had previously worn for her brother’s wedding, reflecting the increasing importance of sustainability, repurposing, and rewear culture within modern luxury.

Elevating the look further was an exceptional high jewellery necklace centred around a rare 28-carat heart-shaped diamond, encircled by vibrant emeralds and enhanced with a dazzling arrangement of diamonds, creating a striking statement piece on the Cannes red carpet.

Together, Vandana M. Jagwani and BMW India celebrated a moment that brought together artistry, ambition, and the evolving language of global luxury across fashion, jewellery, and design.

Speaking about the occasion, Jagwani said:

“For me, this moment is incredibly special not only because it represents Indian jewellery design on a global platform like Cannes, but also because it marks a personal milestone in my journey as a designer and entrepreneur. I’ve always believed that luxury today is about individuality, emotion and storytelling, and being able to bring that perspective to a platform as iconic as Cannes feels truly meaningful.”

Her appearance at the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival marks a defining moment in her journey and further reinforces the growing international resonance of India’s creative voices across fashion, jewellery, culture, and luxury.
