For her debut appearance at Cannes 2024, Aishwarya Rai chose a black and white gown adorned with golden 3D flowers. According to the designer duo Falguni and Shane Peacock, the black silhouette was meant to reflect Aishwarya’s timeless aura, while the gold detailing symbolized her illustrious career journey. However, the outfit received mixed reviews from onlookers. Some felt that it failed to enhance Aishwarya’s beauty and instead appeared unflattering and lackluster.
On the second day at Cannes, Aishwarya dazzled in a shimmering ruffle gown adorned with silver and blue hues. The dress featured elegant ruffles cascading from the sleeves and midriff down to the trailing hem.
Complementing her ensemble, Aishwarya opted for vibrant eye makeup in blue tones, perfectly coordinated with her attire. She maintained a neutral and dewy base for her lips and complexion. Her hair was styled in loose curls, parted at the center, adding to the overall glamorous look.
