In Elie Saab
For her first red carpet appearance, Aishwarya went with Elie Saab, a designer she favors quite a bit when at Cannes. The sparkly teal gown with its revealing sheer skirt may not be one of my favorites Saabs but there was no denying she looked amazing!
The bold lip against the teal made quite a statement. She owned every bit of the look and the red carpet!

Ash looks expensive….she nails it..love d color of d gown…her make up is spot on..she looks flawless..she looks zillion times better than sonam nd katrina put together. .PERIOD
Major love. The best by far.
The dress is bad and that green eye liner looks tacky
Agreed about the gown….but she did look nice..i rate this above sonam’s blue look
LOVE!! In fact MAJOR LOVE!! Aishwarya is looking like a red carpet diva she is. What a perfect look to channel old Hollywood Glamour at it’s best!!
She looks beautiful but I’m not awestruck by the dress. Elie Saab has many better dresses in his collection that she could’ve worn. I’m neutral about this appearance, but her gorgeous face makes up for it a bit.

This is such a Movie Star Moment!! Aishwarya is owning the red carpet with her beauty, poise and grace. Fabulous red carpet outing. Vintage Drama at it’s peak.
She looks every bit the star she is ! Stunning !
Although I agree about the gown, Ash is working the hell out of it.
The gown itself is alright. Quite meh really, not unlike the gold iconic dress she wore last year.
But these looks become iconic because of her movie star presence.
WOW
Pretty bad dress. The sheer block on the skirt part looks tacky like anything.
Saving grace is the eye make-up. Not a fan of the maroon lipstick either. Typical neighborhood aunty lipstick color.
wow!! ‘Typical Neighbour Aunty Lipstick Color’. Didn’t knew something like that existed. Such creative meanness!!
Just fyi, the colour is close to Marsala , which IS colour of the year. There is nothing like aunty colour or so. One just need to carry something well and she does it so. Love the colour of gown and everything. Total Diva. 🙂
Yes that sorta lipstick does exist, usually the indian mothers, aunties favour it.
no offence tho.
+1 My mom’s generation generally favours such lip colours.
I like the color on her but am meh on the dress. Makeup is superb. That bold lip really brings everything together and so does the hair.
Nowhere NEAR last time at Cannes!
she looks damn gorgeous.much better then katrina and sonam.
Hate the gown ! Looks tacky. She is pretty. I prefer sonam’s look any day. She brought drama to the red carpet which this outfit lacks. Prefer this over kat! Why is frieda not walking the red carpet ?
She is gorgeous in that Teal gown.
The gown may not be all that but no denying that the color and make up looks amazing on her.
PERFECTION ! Aish and Sonam know how to make an impact on the red carpet.
Kinda safe appearance.. The make up is nice but safe. The colour is really gorgeous but the dress itself is tacky with the sequins and especially that weird sheer patch on her knees. Just a look at what the other girls were wearing makes you realise how lacklustre this dress and how outdated sonams look was.
PS can HHC also feature the outstanding couture wear of the western stars plz as a Cannes exception . Fan has worn some amazing dresses , Eva longoria today, cate blanchett… Some amazing dresses
The dress is alright but Ash looks really good in it. Her makeup is really well done.
This is one of the most hideous Elie Saab gowns I’ve ever seen and thats saying alot as all his gowns are amzaing! Who picks her clothes?? First that curtain sabya maxi now this! She raised her standards after last years appearance and now this! I hope its better and not worse. Makeup and hair are great. Sonam must be laughing all the way to her closet of gorgeous outfits…
Replace “gorgeous” with a closet of CLOWN outfits. Miss I-try-too-hard Kapoor always dresses abnormally in order to grab the maximum attention and the desperate is evident in her bizarre outfits. She has aptly nicknamed as fashion victim aka IKaun.
You may not like sonam but there is nothing clown like about her outfits. Believe it or not, she has given some stunning appearances. Even her last years Ellie Saab look was way prettier than this Ellie Saab gown. She does have a good taste which Ash lacks but Ash makes up for it with her beauty.
Sonam has hideous taste. you need to accept that.
if you can’t, I would suggest viewing the Sonam history on HHC.
Thanks.
She looks okay. Sonam looked gorgeous!
Not even! Sonam looked like a drunk horse and she seemed like she was drowning in that blue dress.
Vintage Aishwarya. Heart <3
I like that she’s taken a risk with her dressing an this isnt a typical gown. Its not the best elie saab nor is it wowing me like last year’s appearance. She has a bad stylist or one who doesnt want to get the best gowns for her. Her makeup and hair are spot on. Am hoping the next few days will be better then this. And if she’s wearing Armani next- I hope its like Julianne Moore and not what she wore to the milan anniversary show!
Looking so so gorgeous. Totally bringing in the old vintage hollywood glamor. Fantastico!
Share a similar sentiment to the rest of you. Not the best dress, Eli Saab has WAY more stunning gowns that she could do justice to…Nonetheless, what equation lacks in gown, she makes up for her with her beauty and effortless grace! Those EYES *_* I’m not a hardcore Aish fan, but man does she know how to look good! Amen girlfriend
Gorgeous as always, going great at cannes
stunning, aishwarya king and queen of cannes
Ash completely rules! She is a diva and in this appearance I think she outwits the Roberto cavali look.Just when I thought I had seen enough. Gosh she surely knows how to rock the dress and the red carpet, salute!!
She looks stunning! The hair and the make-up sealed it for her, the dress is not much to speak about.
Here people are blinded by hatred for sonam & katrina, this dress is so tacky, if sonam had worn this dress u guys would’ve ripped her apart, & where are all those air-headed people who were counting cameramen clicking Katrina’s pics ? no one is giving her any attention. Sonam is the only one who got a reception like a queen, i like all three women but this blind hatred for Sonam & Kat is nauseating.
+1 seriously all of them are just L’Oreal Brand Ambassadors. Nothing much more at Cannes. This gown or make up is nothing special and Aish isn’t at her fittest. But by god that face – it can salvage anything and love it that she is giving so much attitude.
Err say what? Sonam was received like a queen? where, on Mars? and no one was giving Aish any attention? LMFAO and you have the guts to call us “blind haters” 😛
+1
+100 agreed
-10000
Gosh!! What is this hatred towards Ash?
Yes this gown on kat or sonam will be awful
It is to aishwarya’s credit she looks great even in a bad dress
Sonam got reception like a queen?? Hahahaha
She nailed it today! Absolutely in love with this look!
The dress is not all that great – but she looks gorgeous. Her hair and make up is on point. Cannot look past that face.
Her eyes look red
exactly what i was thinking and wondering why no one brought it up till now. Also i DONT like her makeup here. too tacky.
Terrible!
She looks gorgeous! Could have done without the teal liner on the bottom, but she still rocks it! Funky, Fresh and Elegant is clearly her new style mantra.
S-T_U_N_N_I_N_G……
Red carpet Goddess!!!!
Absolutely gorgeous <3
Wow!
Ash looks fabulous. I love the lip color. I didnt expect her to show up with teal lips!! The gown is a little too tight under the arm even though I bet it is gorgeous in real time. Sheer long sleeves might have been a better choice for Ash…
It is hard to match Aishwarya’s elegance and glamour. This is an example of that – take an ordinary dress and make a superstar out of it. Bravo.
Stunner! Best makeup and love the hair too! Sonam’s makeup was a mess compared to this! Love this colour on Aishwarya. Gown is nice. Not the most amazing but she looks beautiful and confident and nails the red carpet overall
Elegance personified!!
So gorgeous! Can you believe she is in her forties? She overshadows all her younger colleagues with such ease.
Always classy!
I totally can. She looks about 40. It is not about age but attitude which she is oozing tons of.
I think she looks fabulous here.
I don’t love the gown but the colour is just amazing. It works so well for her. Hate the eye liner though.
Va Va Voooooom ????. Aishwarya looks super gorgeous exactly how an ex Miss World should look. Her make up is so fresh and I actually like the teal liner and love the colour of the dress. She owns this look big time!
Gorgeous lady. She definitely owns the red carpet though the gown is not all that great.
I just don’t like this gown one bit…can’t believe its an Elie Saab. Somehow not on-board with this look…Aish has done way way better @ Cannes.
Awful. reminds me of Nagina.. what is that sheer patch at the knee? colour is great, make up is awful and she could have worn something much better from an indian designer too. her face is gorgeous, but the look is not
she looks fab but it kinda reminds me of what Priyanka wore at the Filmfare Awards in 2013.

Really?? Looks like a bad prom dress. The sequin work is especially tacky — so not expected from an Elie Saab. Of all his divine gowns, they had to pick this! #facepalm And I don’t think the colour is particularly good or bad on her. It’s just okay. That said, she’s beautiful as always. Nothing can take away from that face.
Whilst I agree that this gown on Sonam would have attracted much heckling – justifiable as the gown is not ES best. The saving grace is the fantastic colour and the innate glamour of Ms Rai. Metallic eyeliner on red eyes not a sophisticated touch – but she still cuts a pretty figure. Stylist should have access to better gowns, no? Maybe hire Rhea Kapoor?! X
Hahaha i see what you did there 😉
The dress as others have been saying is not the best Ellie Saab we’ve seen around here. The green liner looks a bit off and the ‘bold’ lipcolour looks rather dull and patchy and does absolutely nothing to enhance her look. Despite all this Aishwarya being Aishwarya looks like a million bucks!
That color, that face, those eyes… stunning! 🙂
Simple and elegant…but not the shoes…though not seen here in these pics…I thought the shoes were a bad choice
Simply gorgeous!!!
I think she looked lovely !! And she nailed it.
But I’m soooooo bored of her same old hairstyle.
I wish to see her next appearance may b in low bun or a pony tail.
No more side swept or wavy hair
that eyeliner belongs on a teenager raver ten years ago. teal drowns out her eye color rather than enhancing it.
Of all the gowns she wore at Cannes this is my least favorite one.
Nothing red carpet about the gown, moreover the gown needed soft makeup while this makeup is too strong.
But after seeing Sonam and Kat, she looks more put together.
My first reaction was ‘wow that gown looks like a cheap crepe gown. It does not look like an Ellie Saab.’ But the more I look at it, the more the look grows on me. Its the way its styled that makes the gown work. Plus its so different from what she usually wears + wore last year, that it makes me like this look even more. Love the wine lippie and don’t this it looks auntyji at all.
the dress itself feels very outdated, not the best saab dress she could have chosen, liked her last year’s look much better so far!
Not a nice dress but she looks amazing.
What’s wrong with Ellie Saab? I thought he makes beautiful dresses.
major disappointment.
I don’t believe that this is elie saab design!!!
it is a meh dress
roadside shops have better collection than this ill fitted gown
