Pats and brickbats for her wardrobe choices have been a part and parcel of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s 15-year-old Cannes Film Festival journey. Subhash says, “When producer Sandeep Singh told me that I would be working with Ash, I was ecstatic”.
Aishwarya, who left for the French Riviera on Thursday night, will walk the red carpet on Friday and Saturday.
Mallika is promoting her Chinese film, Time Raiders, directed by Daniel Lee.
Aishwarya Rai attends the Premiere of “Cleopatra” during the 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival at the Palais des Festivals on May 21, 2013 in Cannes, France. Predictably, her edgy red carpet appearances, most notably her purple lips, have received a divisive reaction on social media. “My first choice was a piece of cinema that was anything but glamorous and I’ve been doing that throughout my career and I find that extremely liberating”, she adds.
This year, Aishwarya, who is a L’oreal Paris brand ambassador, began her series of appearances with a glittering gold cape dress by Ali Younes.
Luckily, a lot of fans are supportive of her show-stealing look and love her even more for taking such risks to hike up the fashion quotient at Cannes. However due to the promotions of her upcoming film Sarabjit, she will give the Gala a miss this time round.
