Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the iconic global spokesperson for L’Oréal Paris, made a captivating return to the red carpet with her highly anticipated second appearance at the 78th Festival de Cannes.
Having already won hearts with her first look, she stepped onto the red carpet once more, flaunting another opulent ensemble. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan wore couturier Gaurav Gupta’s Heiress of Clam, a custom creation imagined in a draped form and spiritual detail. The off-shoulder black velvet gown was hand embroidered with an abstract rendition of the cosmos in bursts of silver, gold, charcoal and black. Accented with micro glass crystals to capture dimension and light, the ensemble resembled a galaxy full of stars.
Styled by Allia Al Rufai, Aishwarya Rai wrapped the gown in a pre-constructed shawl-inspired cape trailing on both sides. The highlight of the statement garment was the Sanskrit shloka from the Bhagavad Gita that was inscribed on the back of the cape.
