Aishwarya Rai invited a lot of flak from fashion critics for her western appearance in a violet-blue gown from Lebanese designer Elie Saab on the red carpet on the first day of the 63rd Cannes Film Festival. She was also pooh-poohed for her bouffant hair-do.
In comparison Deepika Padukone was lauded for wearing an off-white sari with a sensuous blouse. Dressed as a true blue Indian diva, Deepika grabbed many an eye and got a thumbs-up from fashion pundits. It seemed she outshone Ash in Cannes.
But if one notices Ash’s fashion and style statement on the second day when she wore a black sequined Armani Privé gown, the lady just puts all the misgivings to rest. She simply looked stunning.
Presenting ahead are few more images of her on the red carpet.
