Ash Cannes

If we rewind just a few years, Sonam Kapoor had indeed picked a metal wire saree from Rimzim Dadu's collections

Cannes: Ash and Aaradhya walked with heavy security by their side - Aishwarya, tightly held Aaradhya as she escorted her daughter through the airport

Earlier, Aishwarya revealed that the princess look was actually she 'playing fancy dress' for Aaradhya, who has been accompanying her mother to the French Riviera since she was a baby

"Aaradhya has never put nail polish till date. She is a normal girl who is aware of all her Disney princesses. I joked with her teachers that I am going for the weekend to play fancy dress for Aaradhya so she kind of gets to see me in princess gowns," said Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

There must be something in the air at Cannes. How else do you explain why one of the most gorgeous faces around makes a mandatory faux pas appearance or three every year at the French Riviera?

Cannes Film Festival: There's much quirk in Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's make-up comprising pop orange lip colour and bright blue eyes

Cannes Film Festival: "Love this photo...Oh yes, and the beautiful lady in it too," Abhishek Bachchan wrote about Aishwarya

For Cannes, Sonam appeared to travel make-up free, dressed comfortably in monochrome -black palazzo pants and a white baggy crop-shirt

This year Sonam Kapoor's red carpet couture came from Ralph & Russo only. Aishwarya's purple pout was her only flaw

This was Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's 15th year at the Cannes Film Festival, where she represents L'Oreal Paris. On Saturday afternoon, Team L'Oreal celebrated Ash's 'Canniversary' with a cake and a bouquet of red roses on the terrace of Hotel Martinez

"I love Ash; she is one of the prettiest women in the world, but for God's sake what on earth was that lip? It was like a beauty brand launched a new lip colour called The Kiss of Oompa Loompa. It was 50 shades of wrong in one shade and I don't blame her," said designer Rick Roy

"I remember coming here for the first time for Devdas and I knew I belonged to showbiz forever. So, playing dress up has become way of life. I don't shy away from it. I keep teasing everyone that one day I am just going to walk out in a white shirt and jeans on red carpet. I always say there are so many opportunities"

Aishwarya, one of the most popular celebrities at Cannes, represents cosmetics giant LOreal on the red carpet. This year, she was also promoting her film Sarbjit, based on the life of the Indian farmer who died in a Pakistani jail. Ash plays his sister Dalbir Kaur, who campaigned for decades to have him freed

At first glance, sure, it was a bit like seeing the result of close contact with an incontinent glitter factory, but on closer inspection you realised that Ash made it work. She looked splendid, decadent even, all gilded and grand - like something out of one of those fabulous French balls

The 42-year-old easily outshone Team Sarbjit, including co-star Richa Chadha wearing a Sabyasachi sari - Ash and her colour-blocked lips were pretty much the only thing anyone was looking at
