Hit: At the 70th Annual Cannes Film festival, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was seen stepping out on the red carpet in a gorgeous blue off-shoulder gown with a sweetheart plunging neckline which she paired with heels from Salvatore Ferragamo. We love how this gown by Filipino designer Michael Cinco, cinch at the waist before flowing out into a perfect ballroom dress. We think she looks absolutely gorgeous in it. Her hair and make-up is spot on too with centre-parted sleek hair, dewy make-up and rich dark lips. (Source: Twitter/L'Oréal Paris India)

Miss: Lily Donaldson donned a sheer, white low cut dress that looked lingerie inspired.

But we still think a little bling would have done her not much harm. (Source: Reuters)
Miss: Michelle Williams' Louis Vuitton dress did not really impress, especially with the over the top prints that were all over the dress. Her strappy heels however, saves the day. (Source: Reuters)

Miss: Jeanne Balibar wore a Jacquemus pantsuit from their Spring 2017 collection and looked exhausted, owing to the ill-fitted dress. There were creases on the pants and the overall look seemed lazily put together. (Source: Reuters)

Miss: Julianne Moore went fiery red in this Givenchy Haute Couture, which she teamed with Chopard jewels. Though Moore made it to the best-dressed list according to most international media outfits, we think redhead looked great otherwise, but the feathered embellishments could have been done away with and the whole ensemble on the red carpet was a tad bit too much.
