Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made her highly anticipated appearance at the 77th Cannes Film Festival, but her custom-made outfit by Falguni and Shane Peacock has sparked a mixed reaction from social media users.
The black and gold gown, adorned with golden patterns, puffed sleeves, and a stunning train featuring 3D gold floral embellishments, aimed to make a statement. However, many online critics felt it missed the mark. Some compared the look to a DIY craft project, while others felt the actress was hiding her beauty behind excessive fabric.
Despite the criticism, Aishwarya’s loyal fans rallied around her, praising her for being a long-time ambassador for Indian cinema at the prestigious festival. One user fondly remembered how Aishwarya’s previous Cannes appearances introduced them to the event, and expressed joy at seeing her on the red carpet again.
The actress walked the red carpet for L’Oréal Paris, celebrating the brand’s 27th year at the festival, which runs from May 14 to 25 under the theme “Many Ways To Be An Icon”. Interestingly, Aishwarya was spotted wearing an arm sling at the airport with her daughter Aaradhya Bachchan before departing for the event, leaving fans concerned about her health.
Love it or hate it, Aishwarya’s Cannes look has undoubtedly sparked a lively conversation, and we can’t help but admire her dedication to representing India on the global stage.
