2 min read
The iconic Cannes Film Festival, unfolding between May 13 and May 24 along the glittering French Riviera, has once again become the world’s most glamorous runway. With an exclusive dress code that sparked bold fashion choices and inspired interpretations of luxury, this year’s red carpet has welcomed an exhilarating mix of global stars and style trailblazers. Among them, India’s own Karan Johar stood out—not only for his cinematic influence but for his striking sartorial elegance.
Representing Indian flair on the global stage, Karan Johar was spotted on the red carpet wearing the exquisite OMEGA Speedmaster 38mm—a watch that flawlessly blends classic chronograph heritage with a fresh, diamond-studded twist.
The Speedmaster 38mm collection, designed with simplicity, size, and colour in mind, maintains the iconic legacy of OMEGA’s most celebrated chronograph while elevating it with a modern, luxurious edge. Karan’s model featured a fully polished stainless steel case, with a bezel adorned by 52 shimmering diamonds and a crown set with a single diamond—a subtle yet dazzling nod to red-carpet opulence.
Adding further depth and intrigue, the green PVD dial showcased horizontal oval subdials with silvery coating and a vertically aligned date window at 6 o'clock. Diamond-polished, rhodium-plated hour and minute hands, filled with white Super-LumiNova, emitted a vibrant green glow—matching both the aesthetic spirit of Cannes and the vibrance of Karan’s style.
Paired with a polished and brushed stainless steel bracelet equipped with OMEGA’s patented comfort release system, the timepiece offered both function and finesse. Its screw-in caseback, stamped with the classic Seahorse medallion, houses the OMEGA Co-Axial Calibre 3330—a movement as precise and refined as the man wearing it.
Karan Johar’s presence at Cannes wasn't just about celebrity—it was a moment of cultural representation, where Indian cinema, fashion, and global luxury merged on an international platform. As India continues to make its mark on the world stage, moments like these reflect not just star power, but the power of style and storytelling woven together.
