"I was nervous beyond my mind," starts off Diana Penty, who made her debut at the ongoing 72nd Cannes Film Festival. While most actors prepare for their red carpet outing at the French Riviera months in advance, Penty reveals she didn't have the luxury of time on hand as she was under the weather until last week. "No preparation is enough for an event as big as this," she gushes, before adding, "I've followed the festival for years, and you have to experience as it unfolds, and enjoy the moment."

While she may be self-admittedly nervous, Penty impressed the fashion police with her six changes over her two-day appearance. Among her outfit choices, the ivory-gold saree inspired gown that she wore for the India Pavilion meet - where she discussed the changing trend in roles for women and how they are perceived to be more than mere ornaments in films - got the nod of fashion critics.
