Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has graced the Cannes Film Festival with her stunning appearances, showcasing timeless elegance and impeccable style over two decades now. Her impeccable beauty and charm await Cannes every year. However, her 2024 Cannes appearance has particularly captured attention for its exquisite style statement and sophistication. The opening ceremony of the 77th Cannes Film Festival commenced on May 14th at the French Riviera.
On May 16th, Aishwarya dropped her first appearance on the Cannes red carpet draped in a stunning golden-black corseted gown designed by Falguni Shane Peacock. She adorns a long flary train with exquisite hand-beaten, molten gold flowers.
Owing to the second appearance at Cannes Aishwarya turned up in a dramatic ashy twin-shaded gown with sparky winged sleeves. The gown was again designed by Falguni Shane Peacock. The gown, in striking shades of blue and silver, exuded drama and elegance.
The evening intensified as Aishwarya got reunited with her friend and American actor Eva Longoria. The duo has known each other since the red carpet for the premiere of ‘Kinds of Kindness’ directed by Yorgos Lanthimos.
However, looks like her Day 2 appearance didn’t go well with netizens. Social media users compared her blue and silver confetti gown with Birthday party decor and Christmas tree. Some fans even asked Aishwarya to ‘Fire the designer’. Taking to X, a user said, ‘Urfi could have styled Aishwarya better for Cannes’.
Well, what’s notably incredible about Aishwarya is that despite having a cast on her right hand due to an injury, she still managed to carry her oozing gown and shine all her way through the red carpet. Little Aradhya also accompanied her mother to the French Rivera.
Have a look at her few most appreciated looks since her Cannes debut in 2002.
