Aishwarya At Cannes 2013: Inside Llewyn Davis Premiere

Comment image 87


Taking her much anticipated turn on the Red Carpet was Aishwarya Rai for Inside Llewyn Davis premiere. She’s always had bit of a hit-or-miss run while at Cannes but this one was a certain win. She looked gorgeous in her Elie Saab Couture gown.

We did think the hair was much too heavy for the gown but it still is a good start. We like.

  1. Why O why is she wearing a gold bangle that doesnt match with that outfit! A black diamond cuff should be there instead Thank god she chose a gorgeous gown for a change She luks lovely

    • She has mentioned in a few of her interviews that the gold bangle is teh Bengali equivalent of a mangal sutra and hence she always wears it.

      • No its not….the Bengali equivalent of a mangal sutra are a pair of white bangles called “Shankha” made from conch/shell..

        • Okay, thanks for the information. I am not particularly aware of the actual equivalents.. I mentioned that with the intention to drive across the point that it wasn’t a choice related to fashion but something to do with tradition, keeping in mind the supposed mandatory nature of both. My information just comes from an interview I read of her’s somewhere.

        • Bloo is correct, that gold bangle is equivalent to mangal sutra, shakha-pola is not mandatory to wear but that gold bangle is must.

          PS i am bengali….:)

        • bengali hindu women wear a shonkho, a red bangle and a gold bangle as a sign of being married.

          having said that, the single gold bangle doesnt go with this gown.

          she looks nice though.

  2. I love her make-up here – it’s not an overload, when she normally cakes up even for flights. She looks great in the third (quite divine) and fourth picture, the first one is just unflattering. I like her hair and gown separately, but we were never going to see her put up her hair anyway.

  4. Wow I’m so happy to see Ash looking good!!! YAY! The dress looks good on her – it’s flattering, and her hair looks nice too and she looks like she has slimmed down a bit which is always a plus I guess!

  5. Oh wow – I can c her arms! I most definitely like!
    I guess she amped it up for Cannes, her hometown she’s definitely more relaxed n I have seen this much effort on her part since before she got pregnant.

  6. P&P Aishwariya was spotted in a white dress shirt n Black skirt Could you post that She luks good though I cant find a full length one

  7. oh i dont know… it kinda looks like a half-hearted effort by ElieSaab…. like as if they started putting on the embroidery on the dress, got tired and just left it hanging in the middle with a little haphazard action a the bottom.

    It’s just so serious looking. and boring. her hair/face looks good but should have been placed in another outfit altogether.

  8. the Queen is back!! this is the best she has looked post pregnancy. you can just tell that she feels a lot more comfortable in her own skin.

  9. People shud stop giving her such a hard time. So unfair. Had Vidya worn this you all would have been gushing right now. She looks great!!

  10. She’s mainly been conscious about her arms with the weight gain. Hence, the hair. It’s there to distract from the arms. A lot of people saying they’d prefer an updo but I don’t think she’s quite ready to have her arms on display. Which is kinda sad. They’re perfectly good arms.

    Liked the A-line silhouette; definitely the most flattering on her at the moment. Though, her face and those eyes look stunning. I’m not blown away by the look but it may easily be her one of her best appearances at Cannes.

  11. she luks like million bucks . much better then sonam and vidya( with their over the top dressing). the gown is beatiful and make up in perfect.

  12. She is looks good.Better than overdose of traditional Indian (desi) couture. I have nothing against traditional clothes, but just hate its overdose.

    I also always wonder why Aish wears gold bangle. The only explanation I can come up is Bengali tradition, where a bride is given a iron bangle by her husband when she enters his home for first time. Usually women get it cover by gold. In her case her mother-in-law Jaya Bachchan is Bengali.
    Again it is just a guess…

    • apparently your guess is quite correct. read it somewhere that it is indeed the sr. Mrs Bachchan who gifted it to her. doubt she’ll ever not be wearing it :).

  13. she looks good but her outfit disappoints. mallika sherawat outfit today beats itt totally.
    vidya too looks amazing but as she is wearing indian clothes can’t compare it but not liking this look on ash

  14. I dont understand why everyone gives Aishwarya a hard time. esp the gays and women – both of those being acutely aware of weight and image issues. it at all, they should just commend her to getting out there. I wonder how many of us onlline face-less commentators would dare step into the spotlight looking not the best version of us? Anyway, Vidya is OTT, Sonam is trying too hard (wish she tried that hard at being a decent actor) and Aishwarya, well if you read international fashion journalist reviews, is looking AMAZING – easily one of the best looks so far.

  15. She has gotten mostly postive reviews for this look by other fashion sites. The only negative some ppl have pointed out is her hair should’ve been kept up, but that’s it.
    I don’t mind the hair down, I just would have liked to see her wear a belt like it was shown on the runway to kind of bring in her waist.
    But overall it’s simple & elegant.

  16. Gawjus! Look at the 3rd pic, just wow! And proves one doesn’t have to drown in indian wear stuffing yourself in pillow covers for blouses calling it couture. Hah!

  17. Finally… This was the moment we have all been waiting for…. Where she is not hiding and she looks beautiful. I am not her biggest fan, but Elie Saab and her combo is great and she is off to a fantastic start. Waiting eagerly for her next appearance on the red carpet.

  18. You need a certain amount of talent and tenacity to consistently choose the most boring, unremarkable and irrevocably mediocre creations of designers with the keenest aesthetic out there..Of the select few I hold in regard I assume that it is impossible to go wrong with an Elie Saab, Valentino or Rodarte..since their sensibilities are so faaaaaar removed from that of Aishwarya’s I feel even if she wanted to, she cannot possibly find any way to commit her usual crimes against elemental aesthetics..but her persistence knows no bounds..SHE DID IT! even with Elie Saab..

  19. She getting back…love to see her in anything but anarkalis..she looks beautiful..hair does look little heavy but she owns the look

  20. Fab! She looks confident. Of course none of us know her state of mind but judging by outward appearance alone, she looks so much more comfortable/confident than she has in recent public appearances. That face is wow per usual! The hair is same old – heavy and over styled, but I don’t mind it much here.

    The gown itself is quite fugly though! It’s like someone poked on a swarm (?) of black beetles and they are starting to crawl all over. But the lines are clean, thank goodness no thick sleeves, and Ash is working it!

  21. ‘she looks amazing as she use to long time when I first saw her appearance in lake advertisement. I don’t agree with anyone of the above comments. Time is ever changing and it makes changes in all the women and men . This is a fact and considering it she looks gorgeous. Its not the clothes that makes someone look great but that person’s looks gives great appearance to the clothes. I don’t know if I have been able to put it right but She is amazing and will remain like that. All the best to her.
