Nancy Tyagi could be just another fashion influencer who made her Cannes debut in 2024. But she was anything but ordinary. What made her debut truly unique was seeing her shine in a self-made outfit during an interview with Brut India, where she confidently spoke in Hindi on an international stage. While many celebrities often change their accents for global audiences, Nancy boldly embraced her roots, sharing her inspiring journey from Baranwa, Uttar Pradesh, to the glamorous Cannes red carpet. Her passion for fashion truly captivated everyone.
Nancy's appearance didn’t go unnoticed in the Bollywood community. Actor Sonam Kapoor Ahuja praised Nancy’s outfit as the best among Indian celebrities at the event and even expressed a desire for Nancy to design something special for her. Nancy responded with excitement, saying, “Sonam liked my saree outfit, and I’d love to create a unique saree for her, maybe with a bigger pallu. It’s overwhelming to see all this happening!”

What Is Nancy Tyagi Up To These Days?
From her first design—transforming her mother’s black saree into a lehenga choli—to now having 2.6 million followers who enjoy her design videos, Nancy's growth has been great. What motivates her? “The inspiration to showcase my outfits on Instagram started during the lockdown. With more time available, I began experimenting with styles and sharing them online. My passion for design began in childhood when I made dyed clothes for my dolls, “ Nancy Tyagi shared in an interview with Cosmopolitan India, where she is featured on the latest cover.
Further in the interview with Cosmopolitan India, Nancy also discussed how being both a content creator and a designer helps her excel in a competitive industry. She stated, “Being a creator and a designer complement each other. Designing allows me to express my unique vision while being a fashion influencer helps me reach a wider audience. Each role enhances the other.”
Moreover, last week, after several months, Nancy returned to her original content that initially brought her fame: "outfit from scratch." The video quickly gained over 30 million views and received more than 3 million likes within just a week.
Now, Tyagi has transcended her role as a creator, earning the title of a model from her audience. She recently modelled for a brand, becoming the face of their campaign. In a heartfelt post, she shared, "Seeing my face up there fills my heart with gratitude and emotion. It’s a beautiful reminder that every step, every struggle, and every bit of support has brought me to this incredible moment.🧿❤️"
