The fashion report for India’s Cannes veterans this year appears to consist of a binary formula – Ralph & Russo, and Elie Saab. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor made two appearances on the red carpet and both wore an outfit by each designer.

 

For her second red carpet look on Wednesday, Aishwarya picked a white Ralph & Russo dress made up of architectural folds, the bodice sprinkled with black.

 

She posted a picture of herself gliding down a staircase on the Twitter handle she’d been manning for a day:

This is her dress on its way to being worn:

Aishwarya, now in her 14th appearance at the Cannes Film Festival, wore a teal Elie Saab dress for her first red carpet saunter on May 17.

 

Sonam Kapoor, for her part, wore blue Ralph & Russo on May 16 and lime-coloured Elie Saab on May 18.

 

To launch her comeback film Jazbaa at Cannes on May 19, Aishwarya wore claret Oscar de la Renta, a designer already spotted on Croisette rookie Katrina Kaif on the opening day. Katrina wore scarlet Elie Saab for her second outfit.

 

Aishwarya still has one more high-profile appearance to make at the amfAR Gala on May 21.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan: Cannes is Like Family to Me

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, who has been associated with global cosmetic brand L’Oreal Paris since over a decade, is thankful that her association with the brand is not merely about photoshoots. She is glad it offers an ‘opportunity to get in touch with the artistic aspects of the business as well as interaction with its top personalities’.

 

“I am very very thankful that my associations are not just for photoshoots or endorsements for a brand. If you are actually a part of such brand for a long time, you end up having many things,” the former beauty queen said on Wednesday in a video chat from Cannes with the media here.

 

“Yes, we walk the red carpet here (as ambassadors of L’Oreal Paris), get a touch of artistic aspect of this business like styling, makeup, designers, wear gowns, but at the same time, we get an opportunity to interact with the top people of the business,” added the actress, who shared the frame with leading actresses like Salma Hayek and Eva Longoria at the Cannes gala this year.

 

When asked about her experience at the Cannes Film Festival, she said, “It’s family to me. I have a long association with Cannes (International) Film Festival. Then, of course, I had privilege of coming here as a jury member. So, the relationship with this festival started on those grounds, which makes it very familiar for me. Now I have a family-like relationship with this festival.”

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan led the celebrity roll call of A-List stars as she graced the red carpet at the annual amfAR Cinema Against AIDS gala held at the famous Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cannes on May 21.

 

The other high profile guests at the star-studded event included supermodels Irina Shayk, Toni Garrn, Doutzen Kroes and Laura Stone, Desperate Housewives star Eva Longoria, Spanish actor Antonio Banderas, British actress Sienna Miller and French star Marion Cotillard among others.

 

Fetching in a mauve Elie Saab gown, Ash completed her look with diamond jewellery and her hair styled in soft waves.

 

Conspicuous by his absence was her husband, actor Abhishek Bachchan, who usually escorts her to the event each year. He had tweeted earlier

 

Unfortunately due to work commitments I can’t attend the AMFAR gala today. But the better half is there to represent.

Aishwarya has been at Cannes for several days for her promotional duties as a L’Oreal Paris ambassador. This is her 14th year at Cannes.

 

The actress who is a big draw at the festival, picked a white Ralph & Russo dress for her previous red carpet look on Wednesday. Her first, on May 17, was in a teal gown, again by Elie Saab and turned the fashion police upon her. She redeemed herself somewhat with a claret Oscar de la Renta gown at the launch of her comeback film Jazbaa on May 19.
