The cropped pants once reigned supreme in every woman's wardrobe. The capri pants, which met a rather ugly end, seem to be making a comeback. Just like most 90s style staples, the bottoms, too, have found a way to remerge in the fashion scene this summer. While the world has been kind to flared bottoms, polka dots and corsets, will the capris also receive a similar second chance?

Alia Bhatt's latest appearance at Cannes warms up netizens towards capris 

On May 11, Alia Bhatt touched down in the French Riviera to attend the Cannes Film Festival 2026. Several videos and photos of the actress arriving at the airport in the picturesque city have gone viral online. She was photographed in a chic airport ensemble featuring a black long coat, matching heels, and sunglasses. However, what caught the attention of social media users was her bottom.

While Alia Bhatt might be the first Indian celebrity to publicly embrace the capri, the bottom was a part of several brands' spring/summer collections. Pop culture enthusiasts believe that Sarah Pidgeon’s portrayal of Carolyn Bessette in the show Love Story is to be credited for the resurgence of the once-controversial fashion piece. Hailey Bieber and Gigi Hadid are among the celebrities who have famously worn the capris this season.
