Aishwarya At Cannes 2013: 100 Years Of Indian Cinema Gala
Vidya isn’t the only one to sport Sabyasachi while in Cannes. To attend the Gala celebrating hundred years of Indian cinema, Aishwarya picked a Sabyasachi couture lehenga-sari. The Bollywood meets Baroque vibe of the lace and velvet sari with its gold work was rather interesting.
Sure it was blingy and it even reminded us of the whole Dolce and Gabbana vibe from Fall, but we did think Aishwarya channeling her inner baroque princess in the sari made for an interesting change. Of what we see, we like. Once we see more, it may (or may not) change.

Don’t care for the headband, but she looks pretty. So much better than the unflattering anarkalis of late.
Agree about her looking pretty and better than anarkalis.
Differ on the headband, imo the headband makes this look set apart from the same old sabya appearances.
I see your point. My first impression was that the headband clashed with the gold embridery on her neckline. Have to add her make-up looks great. Love thise earrings too.
That’s terrible : it has literally swamped her . Hate the hair and make up: she looks so matronly . The embroidery is tacky and has no real design , just a lot of gold on black . And so much black , from head to toe with a high neck with embroidery there too !!
My god ! Ash and I are prob the same size and I feel embarrassed that ash is dressing up the curvy frame like that .. Why ? What’s the need ? She started off so well ! This is a horrid disappointing look , the worst Sabya creation I have seen
I don’t think I can describe better than you have.
I have similar strong feelings. That saree is tacky. I like the blouse except the gold-band wrists. Hairdo and tiara(?) are sweet. Black is disappointing. Should have worn color.
Absolutely spot on description of this travesty.
Agree 100%!!! This makes her look like she is wearing a black curtain of sorts.
agree with you guys. blingy tacky sari. too much cakey makeup.
Its like Sabya meets Abu Jani. A thought that just made my head explode.
Hahaha too true!
Lol agree 100% Now that you’ve put that thought out in the universe who knows we might see that collaboration some time…shudder!
This looks like an old, old sofa upholstery that once held price of place in a purani haveli. That thick band (?) on the head, the explosion of gold = eye sore. Good that there’s that luminous face in the middle of all the tacky bling to refresh one’s eyes!
Man how does a comment like that get approved
Not sure what you mean?
Why,because it’s accurate? If you ask me, she doesn’t look all that luminous eithe
Agree!! i think they forgot that its spring in Europe!!! If shez wearing this in spring then imagine winter events!!
Just when I thought that she wasn’t messing it up and was having a decent run.
Horrible dress up that’s all I can say
The material looks lovely though , gorgeous fall
So graceful! Loving it.
LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE
So pretty and elegant!
At least the hair is different from the last 50 appearances she has made!
Ya, thats a big change when it comes to her !!!!
i do like the overall look as well. something different.
This is stupid! Especially after the lovely look in the Elie Saab, Sabya puts her in a stupid headband?! Atleast the nathni was Indian, what is this? She would have looked great without it, this is the first time we have seen her in a saree after her pregnancy.
I hope she can give the hairband to Aradhya, who infact will look adorable wearing it.
Bollywood people think they can’t go wrong with Sabya. I think Sabya has been all wrong at Cannes whether it is this saree and headband or the stuff he has designed for vista for Cannes.
+1 for pointing calling out on Sabyasachi at this season’s Cannes(and honestly his last few)………..i think even he himself feels probably he can do no wrong which is nothing new for designers and artists,i think he needs to come up with a change in plans……….everything looks so done and done……….i’d much rather prefer his breakthrough design for Celina Jaitley at Femina Miss India 2001……….
+1
thank god someone finally pointed it out!!!!
people think just by wearing sabya they are bound to look good but the fact is they all look like clonesssssss!!!
and someone please get rid of these full neck full sleeve bouses!!!!ASAP!!
agree! Horrid. These sabya costume things are getting on my nerves. everyone looks same, very ordinary and this is a dolce-ripoff.
Spot on He lost a fan in ‘Me’ Very disappointed with Ash’s Sabya look This design brings the worst reaction in me So im just gonna flick thru for today
Sorry typo Vidya for cannes
Neck up she looks great. Not a fan of the saree.
Ohh after seeing this I so wanna kill Sabya for these beautiful ladies look like this. Whats with the matronly blouses on Vidya n Aish?? they are not in their 60’s to dress up like that.
And this hairband on Aisg sure does look out of place. The face is exquisite n the only saving grace in the whole attire. The sari/lehenga whatever it is just drowns her…This was the time when he shoild have upped his game..
Like how we were getting tired of seeing MM’s creations everywhere,the same thing is happening with Sabya. He has lost the authentic touch he had few years ago. The creations Vidya and Ash wore just made me feel that Sabya got too worked up dressing them up for Cannes.
Here we go again, another velvet creation in summer. This is not going so well with Sabyasachi
Too heavy and boring! Have they no minds or mirrors?
She looks like a replica of her wax statue from tussauds, which is not a good thing in my book.
Air India mein aapka swagat hai. These are our new uniforms, modelled by none other than Miss World. Totally idiotic outfit.
ha ha ha ha ha ha! spot on!
Not a good look.
Less bling and different blouse might have worked.
So Sabya is the next Manish Malhitra eh? Enough already!
Aish has to get a sense of fashion, surprise how she lasted in the fashion industry ,,,, except for her artificial eyes (lens).
Could someone clarify … there r some new photo of Aish with black skirt that online , one of them look she is heavier ( not against it , Neha is voluminous but still pull off good dress for her body shape ) but pic with reporters seems to be Photoshopped !
Wow did you drink a tall glass of haterade before coming on here to spew your venom. First of all the whole world knows Ash’s eyes are the real deal, she doesn’t wear lenses. It’s people like you that start ridiculous rumours and hate on people for no reason. It’s ok if you don’t like someone but please don’t spread false stories. Thanks!
no its real, her eyes are brown. whts wrong to admit she wears lens !
She might as well have worn Abu Sandeep. Disappointing
Well, this really is not an improvement over the AJ-SK she favors. Ugh. Disappointing.
If this was her way to proclaim her “Queen of Bollywood” status – a major fail!!
Wait till Sonam wears Sabya
horrid horrid outfit. she looks like jaya bacchan!!!
this look just makes me appreciate more her previous Cannes appearances! almost makes her neeta lulla designed clothes look GOOD! Not sure if that is a good thing though….. :-/
Of all the extraordinarily beautiful clothes to wear in the world…this is what she chose! And what is with these women? Are they trying to prove a point by dressing like royalty? Case in point vidya’s royal attire, sonam’s gold robe and now aishwarya’s crown? Is that bollywood’s theme for Cannes 2013?
She still looks very beautiful from neck up.
yuckkkkk….
Something about this look instantly reminded me of Statue of Liberty

Well at least Cannes 2013 has brought about a rare consensus and the best comments ever!
N a really good laugh Im thoroughly enjoying reading them Much as I wanna explode many are entertaining enough and have already said what I thought in more colourful ways than I could ever imagine
Don’t know why people are getting so upset over this , she looks beautiful like this as far as i’m concerned. So much nicer than than elie saab gown she wore yesterday. Sure its a lot of gold but she carrys it off well and the headband is typical sabyasachi, lets face it sabyasachi has a ‘look’ and hes not going to change if for anyone. Ash always looks great when she wears sabya, this included.
looks like the Tv series, Chandramukhi audition at Cannes. he heheeee
Its a lot of fabric but I still think she looks great,
her face is looking very beautiful and stunning.
her face is looking stunning!
i think its unfair to say sabya is the new MM. Sabya’s work is good most of the time and lets appreciate him when such biggies are wearing him while representing india on the global platform. well hes the best in the country and thus is being worn at the cannes because wearing his clothes make people feel better about themselves! Ash looks good but the saree isnt the best one on her. im probably being biased but i definitely dont feel like he is the new MM – he is better! i love all of Vidya’s looks just this is a major miss!
One word – Matronly
Sabyasachi – fail!
the saree would have looked better without all the gold bling.
Not a fan of the saree… but that hairdo and headband makes her look different than her earlier looks. I’ll okay this one.
She looks like a well maintained 50 yr old . She needs to dress her age and slim down a little bit.
It looks costumey. Try hiding head band and neck trim with your thumbs and it looks pretty good.
Definitely need better pics to judge!
Could she have looked any wore if she tried? Whoever came up with this overwrought, tinselly,gaudy eyesore of a look should be tried at The Hague fo crimes against beauty! Does this woman not own a mirror?
Sabyasachi needs to go away to a beach resort for a while… Surround himself with blue seas and open sky. Maybe then he will be able to appreciate a world beyond a fusty Victorian schoolhouse (Aishwarya) or a mothballed fortress haveli (Vidya). So over his claustrophobic vision now.
Very very well said x
Hear hear!! Over the years he has become so over rated till he lost the exquisite touch he had once upon time which I totally loved. Not everyone could handle fame with élan.
it’s tent auntie. yuck
HORRIBLE……….. These bed sheets that sabyasachi does is very annoying……. Kudos to him for making a business where most women that resemble beds buy his clothes
SARTORICIDE!!! Sabyasachi must deeply hate Aishwarya, I cannot explain otherwise the atrocity he has committed on her. He should be banned for years from Bolly- and all other woods.
Thank god for that face! it saves any shit below the neck 🙁
Are these supposed to be renowned designers? Mrs. Sharmila Tagore looked far better in her simple sarees.
Imelda Marcos?
