Ivory Elegance Meets Indian Craftsmanship

Marking her 22nd appearance at the prestigious event, Aishwarya chose a look that was both refreshingly traditional and modern. Draped in a handwoven kadwa Banarasi saree in a classic ivory hue by Manish Malhotra, she celebrated Indian handloom heritage on a truly global platform. The saree, paired with a tissue drape and an ethereal cape-style dupatta, struck the perfect balance between rooted elegance and contemporary flair.

What set this appearance apart was the layered storytelling in her ensemble. The imperial heirloom rubies from Manish Malhotra Jewellery added a dramatic, regal touch, while her rich maroon lipstick and the intricately woven saree fabric hinted at centuries of Indian artisanal mastery.

Aishwarya’s styling, helmed by Allia Al Rufai, was meticulous, right down to the deep red sindoor gracing her hair parting. More than a beauty mark, it emerged as a powerful statement—asserting her individuality, heritage, and perhaps subtly quieting whispers surrounding her marriage to Abhishek Bachchan.

Greeting fans with a radiant smile, folded hands, and flying kisses, Aishwarya channelled warmth and poise. Her walk at the premiere of The History of Sound was accompanied by thunderous applause and the unblinking gaze of every lens on the carpet. Representing L’Oréal Paris as a global ambassador, she once again proved why her Cannes legacy remains unmatched.
