Plus size model Sakshi Sindwani to make her Cannes debut

Over the past few years, digital creators, especially from India, have been steadily carving out space for themselves on the world’s biggest stages. And nowhere was that more visible than at last year’s Cannes Film Festival, where names like Nancy Tyagi turned heads, sparked headlines, and redefined what it means to “arrive” at a red carpet. From designing her own outfits to becoming one of the most talked-about faces at the festival, Tyagi’s moment was more than viral, it was symbolic of a shift.

Who is Sakshi Sindwani?

Known for championing curvy fashion and calling out ridiculous body stereotypes, Sakshi is not just bringing a look to Cannes, she is bringing a message. Her content constantly challenges outdated “rules” for plus-size women, and in one of her most recent viral videos, she addressed the tired debate around what curvy girls “should” wear versus what society expects them to wear. Fans flooded the comments with love, thanking her for changing their perspective and inspiring self-confidence.

This red carpet moment is not just about fashion; it is about representation. Sakshi has long been the flagbearer of body positivity in the Indian fashion scene, and her international runway debut in 2024 at Dubai Fashion Week Spring/Summer 2025 was proof that she is more than ready for the global spotlight.
