Aishwarya finally makes Cannes 2016 debut, sweeps red carpet with gold cape

Aishwarya marked 15 years of walking the Cannes red carpet in Lebanese designer Ali Younes
Updated 14 May, 2016

She finally appeared on the Cannes red carpet.

Aishwarya marked 15 years of walking the Cannes red carpet in a golden cape dress by Lebanese designer Ali Younes. Encrusted with embellishment, the dress was cinched at the waist with a barely visible metallic belt.

Keeping her accessories to the bare minimum of earring studs, she added a pop of colour with turquoise eye shadow and cascading curls finished off her look.

While many say Aishwarya played it safe, we think the cape dress silhouette was quite the sartorial risk.

Cape dresses may have been fairly popular at the Golden Globes this year, with some going as far as suggesting it as an upcoming trend for future red carpets, but we're not sure if the Ash's draping of the cape and the resultant batwing effect did her any favours.

Cape dresses look better when structured and the sheer fabric of Aishwariya's dress was more suited to a trail than a cape.

Aishwarya will walk the red carpet on two more days, and will also attend a photocall over the course of the next four days.

She is beauty for life.She will still look beautiful when she will be 80 years old.She is out of the range of analysis.She is the creation of very hands of God to tell us a how a human can be so beautiful.She is the perfect example of a common ordinary Indian woman tells you that how a ordinary Indian thing is extraordinary for the world.She is beautiful when she was thin,she is beautiful when she has gained weight,she is beautiful when she is pregnant and beautiful when she is mother of a child and she will still look beautiful when she will have grey hairs.Don't analyse her just witness this epitome of womanhood and take name of God.

She looks okay, others have worn such dresses before. It is an improvement, probably she changed her designer. However, there is some lack of freshness on her face.

People are now in habit of criticising Ash's looks no matter what she wears. I think her dress is beautiful n she is looking very pretty.

Wonder how designers think of something for Cannes. Its that time when a designed can be dammed or adored. The designer runs great risk. How does a star choose a designer. Do they have any say in what they wear? Who determines gorgeous and a fashion crime.

Come to Cannes without makeup.

Think the dress and her makeup have made this look spectacular rather than the actual wearer. .Its pure glamour and she has carried it off. I dont think she is physically all that especially compared to Bipasha Basu and Malika Sherawant and she certainly is no Nargis Fakri not by a million miles but she the name and recognition which adds to the mystique and glamour thanks to being a well connected film star.

@raw is war yes. She should dress like an Indian and do something to minimise her bulk even if she is pregnant. She should wear clothes which suits her and not make her look like 'borhi ghori, lal lagaam.'

@Khilari She will wear what she wants.. She will look classy regardless. If indians don't have problem with her wearing Western or indian..then u shudnt have issues with her not wearing indian, being non indian. Flaunting baby bump might be taboo in ur place..not ours .. It's symbol of motherhood and appreciated whether you wear western cloths or indian.
