At The Races
Aishwarya attended the Royal Ascot race on Monday wearing a lace dress with a custom fascinator by Philip Treacy. Considering she was last seen in traditional wear at the Singapore race event last year, we’re glad that she stuck to the dress code here.
She looked nice but the belt felt like an after-thought and made the dress look too prom-ey.
Aishwarya Rai at Royal Ascot 2013
She looks lovely! A marked improvent over her other recent appearances. Glad that she is not covering herself in yards of fabric.
Hair and makeup look good. The dress looks nice on her and I agree, the belt could have been given a skip!
She looks very nice…. a little too white????
I meant her skin color-wise…. That’s not her original skin color
That is her original skin color actually. Aishwarya is not Shilpa Shetty & other B-wood actresses to wear creepy foundation lighter than her original skin color. Kareena Kapoor also has very light skin why does no one say to her that’s not her original skin color? Aishwarya has light eyes & light skin we know that can we move on please?
Plus her skin color on her face matches her arms, her neck, and her legs.
What’s wrong with what she wore last time? Its gorgeous!
+1 . I dont know if dress code for races is western wear with facilitators and all. But i thought she looked fab last year as well.
Facinators* !!!
Is that a wedding present with a bow and all? Just kidding, I think she looks nice and I kind of like the belt as its breaking up all that white. Wish it didn’t have a bow on it though.
How lovely is the real ash – no huge hair extensions , no caked on makeup and no tent like outfit . This is a lovely outfit for a pretty real woman . Thumbs up
She looks pretty neck up…agree abt the belt
Not a big fan, but she NAILED it here!
I think she looks beautiful. Love it head to toe.
Watched the interview where she spoke about how this was her dress of choice from the selection she was given. I am thinking the others must have been pretty bad if she chose this one. I am not feeling all that lace, nor the hat really. It’s too girly. But her face is her saving grace.
pretty dress without the belt. IMO, she is not aging well, and something about her expression has changed. I LOVED that red lengha she wore in Singapore. and I love how no one is commenting on her amazing shape now that she’s slimmed down…
lol @ the shape comment! Must be because they can not hate on her for it. People like to find flaws in charismatic actresses like her to make themselves feel better…
She is aging so much better than a lot of people in Bollywood and let’s face it even Hollywood. Catherine Zeta Jones age 43 couple of years older than Aish has wrinkles around her eyes with & without make up. Same thing with Heidi Klum who is the same age as Aishwarya. If you look at HQ pics of Aishwarya’s face from her recent appearances like from the Cleopatra premiere you will see no sign of aging. So sorry but I disagree with you on that age comment. I don’t see how anyone can see that. She has better skin than some twenty-somethings.
She does have good skin (which she sadly covers with loads of make-up), but it’s not fair to compare her to Zeta Jones, who has had major health and stress issues, and Heidi Klum who has had 4 kids, and the reason Klum has wrinkles is because she is thin. If Ash loses weight from her face, wrinkles might start showing up for her too. I also know many people in their 40s who are not celebrities and have naturally gorgeous skin, even without make-up.
I think it’s very fair to compare her to them. If ppl can say why can’t Aishwarya lose weight easily like Victoria B and Angelina J knowing that Indian women are different than western women then I can surely compare Rai to Klum and Zeta Jones and say how much better she has aged than them. I’m just speculating here, but I think Rai must take care of her skin through natural Indian methods of ayurvedic products & what not. And please wrinkles don’t appear on your face because you’re thin they happen because you’re getting old.
I truly believe black women age the best look at Angela Bassett, Halley Berry, Kenya Moore, etc while white women age the worst.
Well said! 🙂
pray why the need to compare?
custom Phillip Treacy, whatever, maybe. I hate her hat, and I think she does too. :oP
Love! This is the best she has looked in a long time!
It is a prom dress and the fascinator is not great but how much better she looks compared to the green overworked Abu Jani Sandeep Khosla atrocity she wore some time back
Whoa! Though I love her B&W dress, that fascinator is not fascinating at all!
she looks fabulous… not feeling the belt though
OMG ! what an aish !!!
she’s looking so so good .. after so so long..
Gorgeous !
Thank god for having ditched the AJSK tents !!!!!!!
yay !

Love this look head to toe !!
She looks gorgeous !! Finally the confident Ash is back !!
the amazing levitating eyebrow is baaaaack!
looking nice, mrs b! this cut is very curve appropriate.
She looks gorgeous !! Its been years since we saw her waist ! So pretty. I am liking the bow too.
Good to see her wearing something that doesn’t hide her in a tent. Hope this continues! The fascinator is weird though – looks like a pigeon or something…
FINALLY she’s back.. wow!!!
Has to give it to her – she looks good. Having said that, the belt looks boring and I think she could have opted for some other bright colors to cheer the gloomy UK weather we had yesterday.
Oh come on!!! She looks stunning! Pls stop with the nitpicking, one doesn’t even notice the belt when so much gorgeousness is going on elsewhere…plus the belt doesn’t exactly bring the look down.
Agreed. Au contraire I think it makes her waist look smaller.
Give or take a thing or two she is looking beautiful.
As for the shape comments, I hope Ash learnt through her flab-fight what unattainable standards of beauty these divas portray. The weight, the botox, what not. They make it impossible for women to come up to those standards and life down there isn’t easy.
If anything she should use her celebrity clout to promote healthier images!
hasn’t she done that by being herself. By saying at Cannes that she’s not bothered by all the talk about her weight. By walking the red carpet when people were calling her fat.
No, there has been no clear stand by her just some comments that shes been hurt by all the criticism.
Loving her in this. She is looking nice and also so event-appropriately dressed
Oh.i love her!
Can anyone id the dress? Sounds like she herself did not know who she wore.
I actually like the hat. Although I found it too safe to be a custom Philip Tracy.
She is looking good…totally different look from some of her past appearances…:)
I love the white on her, it makes her look so youthful. Why has she been wearing black most of the time? Also, Ash, please throw away cakes of make-up, because you look simply stunning in this kind of make-up. Hair is not styled too much, which makes her look fun.
The dress could fit better on top, but she looks good nevertheless, and neck-up she looks gorgeous!
Aishwarya has started to feel like an aunty who just can’t pull of these kinds of looks. Its all right in theory but on her it just looks so out of place.
Ooh. Classy.
+1
Aishwarya posts draw some of the most ridiculous comments!
She looks so beautiful . Her make up and hair are perfect.
Neck up, she looks lovely. Figure looks good too. Wow! But that dress, with the belt and the frill at the bottom is totes barbie – if you like that sort of thing! Not fashion.
+1
and that lace top with bits coming out on the shoulder, not a pretty sight..
She looks amazing.. cant look past that gorgeous face and the tiny little waist!!!!
she looks sooo pretty…. hate that black bow belt, rest everything nice
Hair and make up are spot on. Her pretty face saves the look because the dress looks like something picked up from a suburban mall.
SHE LOOKS PERFECT!
that gorgeooouuuuus face.
Love the look, she looked the best at the event and even the international fashion police found her awesome!
Wonder when ppl at highheelconfidential will appreciate how good Ash looks.
I like it belt up i guess
to the blog owners, if you want the board to be taken seriously as a fashion blog you need to do a little more moderation with the comments..
why are you approving ageist and sexist comments like “she’s looking like an aunty” “she looks old EWWW” ..
she looks like an aunty because maybe hey she is an aunty, she has a nephew.. a 12 yo can be an aunty..
People need to realize this is strictly a fashion blog and need to keep the personal issues they have with her a.k.a jealousy out of it. Just saying.
Can u post her latest appearance in the blue dress
P&P you rarely say anything positive about Aishwarya. Even if overall you like something you always have to pick on something. Why so nitpicky with her? It’s like you judge her based on a different and higher standard or something.
Anyway the belt was necessary. It brought her waist in and gave her a nice shape. Without the belt the dress would be a bit plain. Overall, stunning.
perfectly stated
Yup, it’s exactly like that with her. Think the smartest kid in class. If he once got 99 out of 100, the complain will be: why 1 less? And if he got a perfect 100, then it’d be like “why not extra credit?” It’s never good enough. Double standards much!!
You couldn’t have said that any more perfectly! I completely agree.
Am I the only one who thinks her pose makes her look like a piebald horse. Looks so contorted. Waist up GORGEOUS.
Looking good! Thumbs up for the form-skimming, perfect-length dress! Sure, the look’s not a 10, but it’s appropriate and SOOOOO much better than the past. 🙂
that belt is chosen so the bow rests over that area which she is always covering with a hand. dress is figure flattering, shape and length wise. face is beautiful as always!
Honestly the fascinatior is a bit Over the top like a nest above her head. Takes away the sassy look of her dress,
