Cannes Film Festival: Meet Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, A Femme Fatale In The French Riviera

New Delhi: We are still recovering from the spell cast by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in the princess-ey Michael Cinco gown on the Cannes red carpet yesterday, when she steps out on the Croisette as a femme fatale on Saturday morning. A night of rest worked wonders for Ash, who appeared in a mood to shed her princess-like persona and opted for a black off shoulder gown by Ashi Studio couture from her carefully curated Cannes closet. However, there's much quirk in her make-up comprising pop orange lip colour and bright blue eyes. Aishwarya's day dress is a simpler and bolder choice compared to last night's - the Michael Cinco ensemble was made of French Lace and embellished with Swarovski crystals. In pictures shared on social media, the 43-year-old actress has been spotted soaking in the Cannes sun.

Here's how Aishwarya embraced a new day in Cannes.

Last night, Aishwarya was busy setting the red carpet on fire and looking every bit gorgeous like she did, which prompted a note of admiration from her actor-husband Abhishek Bachchan, who is back home in India. Aishwarya's five-year-old daughter Aaradhya is keeping her company in Cannes. Aaradhya has been attending the festival with her mother ever since she was a baby.
 

 

Love this photo..... Oh yes, and the beautiful lady in it too.
