Yay! For Aishwarya's fourth public appearance at the French film festival, the former Miss World wore a a heavily embellished, floor-sweeping, golden-brown coloured bandhgala jacket by celebrity designer Rohit Bal. She teamed the outfit with a neckpiece by Deepa Gurnani and shoes from Nicholas Kirkwood. For her make-up, Aishwarya opted for smokey grey eyes and nude lips.

Yay! At Aishwarya's third appearance at Cannes this time, she looked stunning in an embellished pink-gold Elie Saab gown, turning heads on the red carpet while attending the premiere of Steven Spielberg's The BFG.Looking vintage Hollywood, the dress has a bustier with decollétage and a skirt with a small train. The simple cinched belt gave a nice break to the eyes dividing the heavy bodice and embellished skirt. The Sarbjit actress paired the gown with rose gold jewellery from Boucheron, Ferragamo shoes and a Pure Brick lip shade from the L’Oréal Paris Pure Reds collection, her hair done in a classic old Hollywood style.

The Bollwood actress looked ravishing in this beautiful red ruffled gown from Indian-American designer Naeem Khan, whose work is increasingly being showcased on Hollywood red carpet events and by dignitaries (remember Michelle Obama?). The gown has a sweetheart fringed bodice, a sheer neck with a full-length tulle skirt. The ever-graceful Aishwarya completed her look by choosing a bright lip shade and a perfectly winged eye-liner. The overall look was a polar opposite to her previous appearance in a golden Ali Younes Couture gown. (Source: Reuters)

Yay! Actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan opened her 15th year at the Cannes Film Festival with a touch of elegance and grace in a golden Ali Younes Couture gown. The ensemble by the Kuwaiti designer was a beaded cape couture that the Devdas actress complemented with a dash of glamour with her make-up — she had lined her upper eyelid with a bold turquoise blue liner, combining it with a smokey blue eyeshadow and bold lashes, and a killer red lip shade that just slayed everyone on the red carpet.

Adding a dash of glamour to her red carpet look, she had lined her upper lid with a bold turquoise blue liner, complementing it with a smokey blue eyeshadow and bold lashes. We think, her stylist Aastha Sharma did a good job. Leaving no stone unturned to create the perfect red carpet style statement, she styled her hair in loose waves and kept the rest of the make-up nude and luminous. (Photo: AP)
