Aishwarya Rai Bachchan SLAYS the Red Carpet! Watch Her Jaw-Dropping Second Look at Cannes 2025

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, usually the ultimate showstopper at Cannes, once again stole the limelight on her second day at the 78th Cannes Film Festival. Having already marked Indian culture with her first appearance, the actress upped the style ante with high-fashion drama in a breathtaking piece by designer Gaurav Gupta.

The Glamorous Gown with a Spiritual Twist

For the red carpet premiere of La Venue De L’avenir, Aishwarya shone in a black velvet Heiress of Clam gown by Gaurav Gupta. The body-hugging, floor-sweeping gown was heavily embellished with complex silver sequins, striking just the right balance of glamour without being too flashy. Oozing ageless sophistication, the gown was a bold yet restrained fashion statement.

Infusing her own style, Aishwarya paired the look with a champagne-coloured hand-woven Banarasi brocade shawl-like cape that fell dramatically into a sweeping train. The dramatic addition was not mere eye candy—it boasted a strong Sanskrit shloka from the Bhagavad Gita:

“कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन। मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि”.
(“You have a right to do your action, but not to the action’s fruit…”)

Statement Styling and Signature Makeup

Aishwarya coordinated with sophisticated silver earrings and statement rings that gave her look a royal flair. Her bouncy waves, side-parted, fell in soft waves against her face, tempering the dramatic look.

Her look was equally stunning vivid red lips, radiant skin, winged eyeliner, and a touch of shimmer on eyelids and cheeks made for a flawless signature Aishwarya style.

Aishwarya’s second red-carpet outing to Cannes 2025 effortlessly meshed Indian symbolism and high-fashion sophistication leaving little doubt that when she hits the Cannes red carpet, everyone is watching.
