In Georges Hobeika
The 69th Cannes Film Festival kicked off today in France and making an appearance on day one was festival regular Mallika Sherawat. At the screening of Cafe Society, Ms. Sherawat was seen in a strapless Georges Hobeika gown paired with diamond jewellery from Dessange.
I can’t say am a fan of the gown, especially the all-over striped pattern, but have to admit, Mallika did look nice. An updo would’ve been a better choice given the necklace and gown but am just glad to see her opt for more polished looks than outfits that were worn more for the shock factor.
Surprisingly she looks nice, but I still can’t figure out like what are her credentials of walking the red carpet of Cannes every year?
Yes I too have the same query. Plz someone enlighten!
Exactly! Why is she always there?
Back to the dress… as I scrolled down I was so surprised at her choice of going the more simple route, but then I saw the rest of it… I feel the bottom is so unnecessary!
LM is the answer. And the bottom bit of the dress is awful.
Thank god…!
None of the photographers behind her seeem to be interested in clicking her pictures . That is not nice
Although Mallika Sherawat is not the star many want to represent India at international events but This is a common subtle insult people throw at almost every Indian and foreign stars. To be fair to them, It is but obvious that many photographers don’t know them and that is alright. Also, why would anyone photograph your back unless you are Beyoncé or J Lo, jokes aside cameras are on the both sides, clearly she is facing other side.
one need not be happy for people we don’t know but shouldn’t we also control our bitterness and shades for same reason.
It seem to be a trend India to pull down every star who tries to foray into territories outside especially if they fall into undeserving category by the so called elites and intellectual urban women whose judgement of your worthiness comes from clothes you wear, language you speak and how articulate you are.
Amen! Well said.
Perfectly said. My thoughts exactly.

Thank u for this comment; I don’t think there is any good reason to pull Mallika down; if she is a regular at Cannes, good for her, and she looks pretty nice here
You know nothing Jon Snow!!
JK JK JK JK. Agree with every word you said.
HAhaha clever :). Let’s just say ignorance is keeping me alive.
Ha ha ha. Nicely done like always, Asha. 😀
Completely agree Jon Snow. Thank you for this. I commend Mallika because whatever she has achieved, she has achieved it on her own. Also, judging by Pic 2, I don’t see the same photogs any interested in clicking the people standing behind Mallika. Also, she is featured because photogs DID click her. 😉
Well said! Why go that far, even when P&P started featuring actors from down South, they got so many silly comments. Even after these many years you can see ignorant-stupid comments like who are these ladies, why should they be featured here blah blah. The irony is that Tamil & Telugu movie industry together make more money and movies than Bollywood. Tamil & Malayalam industry has the most number of national awards put together than other industries (if we are talking about content & substance). Comments like “oh she is undeserving why is she there” or “she is a great actor give her a free pass” is always funny to read. Like fashion even acting is subjective for the most part, it all boils down to who the commentator likes and plays favorites. The pulling down comes along with it that is all. Not everyone but the majority plays it that way. 😛
hear hear!
Is she trying to strike an Aishwarya pose in the first picture? Hahaha
She luks nice..Bt cn sumone enlighten me on hw she gt an invite..dat too every yr widout fail? Curious cat in me wants to knw..
She looks good!
Not a fan of the gown either but she manages twear it well…she’s curved in all the right places!
Yes she is curved in all the right places. She has the best body in the industry.
Yeah don’t know why she is at Cannes year after year? But seems these days Cannes is full of these little known starlets and ‘models’ who no one is much interested in. Still she looks pretty.
How can u wear all those diamonds and not do anything to your hair ? It looks shabby
The jewellery is gorgeous though . Dress not so much.
the caption is wrong
the hair shud hav been tied up
She looks nice save for the unnecessary tummy bump the gown is creating.
To all the snarky comments about what Mallika is doing at Cannes, she’s actually promoting a movie she’s in “Time Raiders”. I’m no fan of hers but find these questions really disrespectful considering most Bollywood actresses we see at Cannes are there promoting cosmetic brands and no one bats an eye lid as to whether they “deserve” to be there. Her dress is pretty and subdued but nothing spectacular. I saw her in a red gown at another site that looks more interesting.

Amen!
She looks Ahhhhmazing!!!!! wow….
Anyone in the film business can go to Cannes; no actor or actress is more or less ‘deserving’ for Cannes. Whether we like their movies or their acting ability is our own personal choice. I like this dress on her. It’s refreshingly different from her usual outfits.
+1. Acting ability is for sure a personal choice, I always find the so called “good actresses ” , very average at the best particularly in Bollywood (discounting actors like Konkana & Nandita but of course and I don’t think they can be classified in mainstream Bollywood anyway ;))
The irony and hypocrisy is that some of the commenters who are protesting and preaching here write the worst comments on this blog and try to pull down some celebs in a very disturbing way.
Yeah it is one person who is like that.

She has toned down her fashion style.
Not a fan of this dress. The horizontal stripes aren’t figure flattering and Malika has an amazing body.
There was another picture of Mallika wearing a silver colored gown..any chance of featuring that? She seemed to be workin’ it!
