On day 4 of the prestigious Cannes Film Festival the OG queen of Cannes Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made her iconic appearance. The former Miss World has two looks. For the press meet the actor was dressed in a shimmery green Valentino outfit and paired her outfit with glass high heels.
Her red carpet look featured a long flared trail and an attached "mystical hood"
For the red carpet, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan opted for a silver gown with lightweight aluminium details featuring a long-flared trail and an attached "mystical hood". It came with the brand's signature black corset underneath and a huge black bow cinched at the waist.
"Unveiling a mind-blowing creation from our Maison, paired with lightweight aluminium details, a signature corset and crystals, from the Cannes Capsule Collection," Sophie Couture wrote, sharing the sketch and the outfit.
Sharing further details, it wrote, "Our designer, Gunel Babayeva, never ceases to challenge herself with her ideas. This time, she took on a complex idea – how to combine comfort and beauty in one dress," adding that "a crazy idea that at first seemed impossible, eventually led to the creation of 'mystical hood'."
Aishwarya Rai made two eye-catching appearances. Love it or hate it you can't ignore her looks. However, social media didn't look impressed with Aishwarya's look and compared her attire to an aluminium foil.
