Nay! One of the most controversial looks was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pretty Rami Kadi floral gown, but what stole show was the damsel's daring purple lips at The Land Of The Moon premiere. Not even Aishwarya could pull off this one. (Source: @afashionistasdiaries/Instagram)
The fashion fraternity is divided on whether the colour purple worked on the ex-Miss World or not, but those who have been saying Aishwarya's played it safe with Cannes wardrobe, thus far, will certainly be elated. Step back, Sonam Kapoor in whites and blues, purple is all that social media can talk about.

To critique her ensemble, the Rami Kadi floral gown cut an elegant figure in the off-shoulder, floral embroidered bardot dress. Her hair was styled in a high ponytail that shifted everyone's focus to those luscious purple lips. Later, the 42-year-old actress jokingly said she keeps teasing everyone that one day she will walk in white shirt and jeans on the red carpet. Please, no!

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. This was definitely an Indian avatar of the actress that worked, unlike most of her other ethnicwear attempts at the festival. (Source: icannesbylorealparis/Instagram)
