Indian entrepreneur Mohini Sharma, founder of Mrs India Inc and Femm International, appeared on the Cannes Film Festival 2026 red carpet wearing a couture gown crafted entirely from recycled ocean plastic waste.
The outfit was designed to symbolize the fluidity and resilience of the ocean while drawing attention to the global issue of marine plastic pollution and the growing convergence of luxury fashion with sustainability.
Sharma’s appearance was part of a broader initiative that included a curated delegation of Indian women entrepreneurs, titleholders, and changemakers traveling to Cannes under the Femm International banner, aiming to amplify Indian cultural and entrepreneurial representation on an international platform.
The press release notes that the event reflects an evolving trend where high‑end fashion brands and designers are incorporating eco‑friendly materials, potentially influencing consumer preferences and encouraging further investment in sustainable textile technologies.
No direct references to financial metrics, regulatory actions, or macro‑economic policy were made in the release.
