Actress Sonam Kapoor glided down the Cannes red carpet on May 18 in a sorbet-coloured feathered Elie Saab dress as tweet-worthy as the elaborate yellow dress Rihanna wore to the Met Gala.
In all fairness, Sonam looked as good in the giant confection as it is possible for anyone to look. The Internet, however, reduced it to memes almost instantly.
#TheDress reminded Twitter of Sesame Street’s Big Bird

That was Sonam’s last appearance at Cannes this year so Twitter, if you are hoping for a spot of redemption, don’t.
