Aishwarya at Cannes Film Festival: Heroine Photocall
For the photocall of her new movie Heroine, Aishwarya went a more casual route in a Lanvin silk trench-dress.
With the weather being so gloomy (during the photocall), the dress failed to pack a punch and I would have rather seen her wear tan sandals vs the satin black ankle-straps.

I don’t even look at her clothes with that face
Agreed. That face doesn’t look over 20 for sure!
oh my!!! i was just going to say that. you forget the clothes when you see that face… God she is so so beautiful.
But yeah the dress and shoes are not good together at all. And the dress isn’t great… BUT that face!!!
🙂 me too
Oh shutup! she looks fab
yayyyy! i am loving it so much. and its like she read my thoughts about the hair. hot. she is so lucky, her face is practically unchanged with the weight gain. she looks stunning.
She looks adorable….esp. in the closeup.Hair – neat. Makeup – fresh . Sandals – cute!!
i love this. So casual and comfy. But agreed, glats would have been a good change.
Finally! she looks awesome.
I was beginning to loose hope of seeing her fab side this year in Cannes. She looks great here. Aishwarya doesn’t need crazy hair styles and weird gowns to look good. Simple and Classic works great on her.
ya so true. the crazier the hair, make and dress the worse she looks. simple works best for her
So agree. She looks fab in the morning sessions because its simple and classic, and the evening sessions she looks cakey and worn out.
Yesss! She is a classic beauty – classic looks best on her – yay, Ash! I was beginning to despair…..
She looks gorgeous. I actually like the sandals paired with the dress… lurve that dress, gotta have…
Aish is looking lovely.
Now this is FAB !!!!!!!!!!!
Love everything abt this look !! I think the black sandals look really good with this dress.
Tan sandals would have been boring.
Now where can I find a dress like that ? I mean a cheap knock off that I can afford !!
Search for trench dress. 🙂
i just saw a very similar dress in the same color on the ann taylor loft site…i don’t think it’s going to look as fabulous on me as on Aish though..sigh!
Very very nice…I like! Glamorous make-up and gowns and Aish have an inverse relation. The simpler she dresses the better she looks!
LOVE! Abso LOVE!
thanks 😀
love the trench coat, (must get a cheaper knockout version) hair+makeup works majorly since i dissed the messy updo she did on day 1! choice of footwear isn’t bad, but for a day photo-call would have preferred nude, or beige with a tiny tinge of bling! nevertheless not perfect, but my favourite among her three looks so far! !
light make-up, clean, regular-cut outfit. with that face, she doesn’t need anything else.
P&P, that crib about the dress not playing out against the weather sounds a bit stretched!
Well, Priyanka loves the look and I don’t. We disagree between ourselves too sometimes.. 🙂
I’ll agree with you Payal. This one isn’t doing it for me. Funnily I had the opposite reaction to most of the others. I thought this look aged her.
LOVE this look of Aish..she looks so lovely with minimal make-up and the laid back dress..when u look at the pix of just the dress it looks so drab but when Aish wears it, she is totally working it!
Recently got a white trench dress from Mango which was similar – except for the ruffles for those looking for a more affordable option 🙂
Love Ash in this…she makes the dress shine
Always fabulous!
Out of the three looks at Cannes so far, this one is THE BEST!!
She looks super cute and young. I hated her hair styles the most!! Don’t know what her stylists were thinking :/
O….. she is gorgeous .Color and less makeup looks great on her.I love her shoes. Think that was makeup artists mistake and her jetlag that dint work on redcarpet .But she looks comfy here
she looks fine, not loving the dress, but it goes with her.
Can’t believe I actually put Dexter on pause and writing to say that she looks gorgeous. I don’t really like her so I keep my mouth shut but this one makes my breath away! I wish she’d wear more of these kinda clothes when in India.
Lol. Love Dexter!
You paused Dexter for Ash? Uh huh.. bad move 😀
Love her hair and makeup!! She even looks well rested, and has a glow to her face.. Dress is alright.. I think overly done makeup and hair doesn’t suit her, and its the same for me personally.. I don’t know if its the paler skin or something else.. For photoshoots they may be easier to pull off, but for live appearances and red carpet, less is more! 🙂
This simple look makes Ash look way better than than those gowns and pancake make-up of the red carpet. It suits her nicely. Hair down also makes her look more youthful. Nice job.
Cannes people…THIS is our REAL Ash. Loreal makeup artists – TAKE NOTES! This gorgeous face needs no makeup or crazy eyeshadows!!! She looks best the way she is!!!! She looks so fresh and has not aged a bit!
On a sidenote, seriously shutup P&P – the tan dress looks gorgeous on her…and even the black sandals!!!! As someone pointed out, the dress itself doesn’t look that great but Ash is totally working it. Go Ash…so glad to see you look awesome as ever!
Not a fan of Ash, but she does look beautiful here.
Love! Particularly the first pic on the second row. She makes that ordinary looking trench coat look fab. Tan sandals or pumps would have made it more gloomier. Black suits better.
aishwarya looks beautiful!!!!!! love it!!!!!
Now this is completely her style….. light, breezy, no cake make-up and her natural beauty coming through all the way.
love everything about Aishwarya.. Head to toe..
wont go for a trench dress for myself though..
but Aish is looking ravishing here..
Love it!!! She looks fantastic here. She jus has to stop doin that ridiculous hair do, it automatically ages her. I do wish the dress was a different color but still like it:)
To all the people who say we are all overly critical of her – read all the comments, not one negative comment. When she looks good, why would we deny it?
OMG! She looks breathtaking when she keeps her make up simple and clean. Her face is undoubtedly her best feature. Wish she would go with minimal makeup on the red carpet too.
I disagree too! She looks absolutely gorgeous…So fresh, so young, so cute and so unlike her past 2 appearances.
Love love love!! How can she be SO beautiful! Hard to look past that face. She proves that simplicity is best. No fake makeup and weird gowns and weirder eyeshadows – natural all the way!
Also I love how she is always wearing the bengali bangle 🙂
I love the look and also love the color.
I don’t think she should have worn a more summery dress or something to compensate for the weather. It would look weird.
HA HA HA! There is our beautiful Ash!!!! Take that, L’Oreal make-up artists!!! You can’t ruin her for her film photocall!!!! Hooray!
Ash – gorgeous dress colour, shoes, hair and makeup
Awesome look , ash looks gorgeous
I panned the day 2 horrible hair, and this is soooo much better! this is what Ms.Rai does best: simple, dewy and effortlessly fresh. I love!! Of course, if I wore this I would look like a hobbit in a velvet version jutesack, and for that I hate her just a tiny bit 🙂
Like the dress. She looks great. Other websites have closeups which may make some people change their minds about the “minimal” makeup. Hate to burst the bubble!
Am surprised no one’s mentioned her hair colour. It beautifully compliments her complexion and gives her a healthy glow.
I for once, think she looks drop dead gorgeous! I hated the other lehenga thing with the waist flair she wore the other day, in comparison she looks fresh and chic here.
Wow, im loving it . This is the Ash we know and love, when she keeps it simple and lets her natural beauty shine. Love the sandals and the color does it for her.
Now, this is what I call Aishwarya Rai. So gorgeous!If only her cannes stylists took a lesson or two from this !
This sure is refreshing after her repetitive/ tired look on day 1, although I think this is not the ‘Cannes Fashion Moment’ its being made out to be, only we don’t expect any miracles from Aish, therefore the applause.
she is looking much cuter with this tad bit of a weight gain!
It dulls her down.
finally she looks great! and she is 37 ! hahhaha
p&p….for once i think ur just tryin to find imperfections where there r none!!!!!!the shoes look terrific with the dress….love the dress…its so classy n effortlessly chic…u guys say u like classsic understated styles n i think this look of hers epitomises all of tat….:-)
hmm yes! this is your ash! cant be beautiful without full photoshop and airbrush
we have seen how she looked like with less photoshop
as for her here , nothing new same cliche each and every year …a movie to announce,same poses and again the same ” absolute pleasure”:) 🙂
it s really surprising and entertaining to see people exaggerating this lady
I disagree… she looks FAB
if some other starlet wore this outfit it wouldnt have even gotten a mention, its so blah.
Agree with you Payal! That dress wasnt fit to be worn in this kinda weather…but nevertheless she looks gorgeouuuus!!! She looks so fresh! Love the color on her…good that she picked that brown and not the other color…this looks fab on her!
And also agree about the satin ankle straps.I love them! I think they look great..but she should have worn tan footwear with that dress…would have looked aproppriate..
This woman has the most beautiful face in the world, her figure is nice too, complexion is perfect. She can wear a garbage bag and get away with it because she is just too beautiful. I absolutely love this dress, so simple, yet so beautiful. I have nothing bad to say about this look. Mallika needs to get Ash’s stylist or something because she is the complete opposite of this fabulous look.
she really doesn’t need any make up. she is the most beautiful woman in the wolrd so that’s enough. she is the angel.I love u Aishwaryaaaaaaaa
