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
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.
The royal brocade cape handwoven in Varanasi played the perfect canvas to elevate the powerful verse in Sanskrit, which in English translates to ‘You have a right to perform your actions, but not to the fruits of those actions. Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction.’
The 78th Cannes Film Festival is on till May 24 and has seen an array of celebrities from across the world come together to celebrate cinema.
