Kevichüsa wore traditional Naga jewellery on the Cannes red carpet in May.
Andrea Kevichüsa had her BA (Hons) English exams last month. She skipped them. She had the perfect excuse. The 22-year-old Naga model and actor was attending the 2023 Cannes Film Festival. "Not everyone gets such huge opportunities. It was my responsibility to make the most of it. And do it right," says Kevichüsa.
So, Kevichüsa paired a black dress by Indian brand, Moonray, with a traditional Nagamese layered beaded neckpiece, educating the world about representation and diversity instead. The look earned praise from Instagram's anonymous and hard-to-please fashion account @DietSabya. It also made fans proud. "Representing the diversity of India. Glad to see you wearing Naga accessory.
Perfectly carried," wrote one Instagram user in the comments under her Cannes post. "Isn't this the proudest moment for our state! Congratulations dear," gushed another.
