In Sophie Couture
63
Wearing a Sophie Couture sequin gown, Aishwarya made her first red carpet appearance at Cannes 2023. The original gown didn’t feature the dramatic bow but here it was and because of it and that hood, she looked like an individually wrapped candy and it was not a sweet thing. Pun very intended.
Having said that, this could’ve been a fierce look if she’d worn that hair in a sleek bun. That would’ve complemented the signature red lip well.

I know my comment would get many brickbats but I really feel she should embrace her face instead of covering it. I see this without any of the face covering gimmicks and it looks so much better.
Agree 100%
I really wanted to like this look , but with the addition of that oversized bow .. it’s a hard NO
She looks like Jiffy Pop popcorn..google it.
FML
Rofl ?
It’s a gorgeous blanket, but as a dress it’s absurd for real. Could be a work of art on runway alone, even the thinnest models can’t make it look nicer.
This look made me really upset for her. This is just wrong on so many levels. Not sure who is calling the shots on her team but this is not acceptable.
Aluminium foil. Sign.
Is it just me or has Ash been hiding her cheeks/ears constantly behind/under that hair. All her PS promo looks had this same hair + full-sleeved baggy dresses with heavy dupattas?
The oversized pink pantsuit at Cannes last year had this same theme… hiding her cheecks behind hair and arms, legs, waist everything covered up under layers of bulkyclothes.
Jadoo’s mom is here earthlings 😉
It looks like maybe the dress was too tight so they slapped on the bow to cover it. Hair away from the face I think we should just stop wishing for it. It’s never happening.
She looks like butter tandoori roti wrapped in aluminum foil, served hot.
This would have been an interesting look (not memorable)…
Honestly, she looks like Jadoo is finally ready to party after landing on earth in 2003.
Why were people complaining about this look? I mean it’s not in the Top 3 but she still looked amazeballs!

I don’t see too many complaints, and everyone was raving about this
There were quite a few..
That quilt will be quite comfy for sleeping through whichever premiere she is attending.
Hahaha
My hands are itching to yank back the hair into a ponytail or bun or hell even just bobby pins tucking it behind the ears.. absolutely anything will do at this point.
It reminds me of something from Enid Blyton tales – a shy pixie peeking out from behind a trellis in a fairy tale. And I don’t mean that in a charming sort of way
This whole look is just wrong as someone said. and I feel really sorry that no one in the team (Loreal or otherwise) voiced it out loud, and then this disaster happened.
Yeah kambal , yeah Chadar, yeah Chehera tera ! Just wanna know mosquito net kidar chuppa hai pillow ke sath ( Honey Singh voice )
She literally gift wrapped herself for Cannes! Regardless, she looks very very beautiful.
No comments on the dress. Just want to say I am sorry abt the many downvotes. I never understand this on this site.
Same 🙂 they are so random!
To give you perspective, I downvoted the comment. Reason : she doesn’t look very very beautiful given only the tip of her nose is visible in what she is wearing .
That’s fine. I totally recognize that my comments are inconsequential in larger scheme of things.
I actually like the dress itself the way it’s presented without the sash. The way Aish wears it is exactly with the same hair and makeup as her umpteen Manish Malhotra anarkali’s with her hair covering the lovely black bodice and her red lipstick, bringing the whole look down notches. So disappointing.
Ash combines Met gala with Cannes and calls it a day.
Like her but not her in this dress. The bow is clearly an after thought.
She looks trapped in the last pic LOL
Just like a special order Hershey’s kiss.
I think Ash is laughing at us. We wanted the hair to be away from the face.
Now we have the hair covering the face and a hood covering the hair, covering the face.
Some said the previous dress was boxy, now the box has a bow and is wrapped in foil. She indeed foiled the universe’s sartorial plans.
Best suited for me for northern usa winters! Wish North face makes a cheaper version of this so that I can enjoy New years eve outdoors
You are so right !!! This is the sleeping bag dress !!!
A simple saree would have looked so much more nicer than whatever this is.
As if it wasn’t clownish enough already, wait till you see her trying to walk in it.
I think she is bored with the whole movie star thing and is trolling at this point. Has she even been in any films lately?
Yes. In both PS-1 (2022) and PS-2 (2023) as one of the main leads. Both movies are big hits.
That reminds me, if anyone wishes to see Ash’s face without this curtain of hair, please watch the movies. She looks regal in those period costumes.
thanks, will check these out
She looks truly gorgeous in the movies!
Ummm mega blockbuster PS1 and PS2 , her one of the best works ever.
Last picture looks like snake shedding its skin .
Horrendous!
For someone who never experiments with clothes at home country events should be given some credit to go all out for this effort…. What do they do with these outfit after climbing stairs …
The dress does nothing for her. The dress itself is a monstracity, with and without the bow. With her vast experience and body of work, I dont understand how she even agrees to show up in these clothes.the video of her walking in this dress was just bad. Sigh, broken record…
This is how I sit in winter with my Snuggie.
Disappointing. Normally she manages to bury her gorgeous face in her hair, this time she added another layer to it; a bloody gigantic hood. Minus the hood and bow, i.e., just the black corset upper with the silver skirt she probably would have aced the look.
Who thinks they took her as is (parted hair, red lip) and wrapped in a bow and put it on the red carpet!
The outfit sketch has a black tie up bow ..saw it online . aish shud have gone for a thinner bow belt as gown already has volume, and made the black corset inside more visible. .not her best BUT Good to see her experimenting tho.
I liked the dress and the hood too. That bow though, a whole other story. It feels like the dress was too tight and she had the bow added to cover ‘curves’. Not needed!
I think Deepika Padukone could have sold this look , on Ash it’s just comical . Kudos for trying something new while the newbie actresses are wearing conventional stuff. But still it’s not her aesthetics in any way or form
She looks comical. Her stylist really did her dirty.
I think I will leave Aishwarya alone with just one comment. She chose the wrong outfit.
The designer really did a con job with this dress. This will suit no one, maybe Grace Jones can uplift it. But, the sheer geometry of this dress is a disservice. Boxy, Baggy, Big, and completely a mishmash of beautiful things gone wrong together.
I may be the minority, but I will take this anyday over the horrendous indian outfits that drows in and i like that she attempted to try something different
I had never seen a shimmery raincoat before ?
I think that she looks fab. There are other people wearing more normal stuff so why not don something crazy and just have fun.
It would have been a fun look had it not been for the bow.
Ghunghat ki aad se dilbar kaaa?
There are these bags available now, using upcycled discarded packets of chips and other foil-packaging. The ‘fabric’ looks exactly like this.
Atleast she could have changed her hair style! Sick! Boxy loose silhouettes seems to be her pick for this Cannes. That green Valentino dress and now this snake skin awful dress
I have only one request for ARB – please oh please don’t hide that gorgeous face in that hideous hairstyle
Posts about Aish generates the highest comments on this site . Unfortunately not always for the right reasons .
Interesting gown ruined by the black bow which I guess is to cover her curves (!!) . Her stylists and PR teams do an awful job of helping her embrace her curves and own it . I love Aish but hate the folks who did this to her .
I don’t mind the gown. It needed an edgier, tall person to carry it off and she is definitely not edgy.
Saw a comment on IG that summed up the look so well…’ shawarma peeping from under the foil’…hahaha
Geisha makeup, bharatnatyam pose in a few other pics, the perpetual hair and red makeup. To add to it, the giant bow that looks like she carried it from Aaradhya’s last birthday gift wrapper. Should have just worn and AJSK tent and called it a day.
Take off the bow. Keep the original version of the gown.
Show some more of the corset and neck, sleek pulled back hair and black or oxblood lipstick and she could have slayed. As is, falls FLAT!
