Huma Qureshi To Don An Oscar de la Renta Gown On The Cannes 2026 Red Carpet

Huma Qureshi is making an appearance at the Cannes Film Festival 2026. The actor made her Cannes debut in 2010 at the premiere of her film “Gangs of Wasseypur”. She was also seen on the red carpet in 2018 and 2019.

The actress is representing a brand, and not a film, at Cannes 2026. Over the years, Huma has built a career balancing mainstream cinema with performance-driven projects. She has taken on challenging roles across films, web series and international projects. From “Gangs of Wasseypur” and “Monica, O My Darling,” to “Tarla” and “Leila,” Huma has been a part of films that have broken away from the norm. Her performances in OTT projects like “Maharani” and her turn as Badi didi in “Delhi Crime Season 3” were widely praised. On the international front, she was seen in filmmaker Zack Snyder’s zombie heist film “Army of the Dead.” Praising her in a social media shared in March, the filmmaker said, “@iamhumaq — one of the most amazing actors I’ve had the pleasure of working with on Army of the Dead. Talent, presence, and pure brilliance on screen.”
