At the 72nd edition of the Cannes Film Festival, Aishwarya championed the Middle East as she walked the prestigious red carpet in a snakeskin fish-cut embossed holographic laser leather gown by Lebanese designer Jean-Louis Sabaji.
Aishwarya's gown featured a layered long sleeve on one side and a sharp strapless neckline giving it a mermaid-like feel.
Aishwarya's gown took 200 hours of intricate work. “Crafted from 18 meters of stiff and delicate foiled leather, the artisans were not dealing with the usual silk or chiffon, therefore, manipulating the six-layered train and assembling the cuts gathered the whole team of seamstresses to work together on this one dress,” Jean-Louis Sabaji told Vogue.
“Mrs. Aishwayra Rai Bachchan is the ultimate red-carpet queen and dressing her especially for Cannes made me extremely happy. She always wears statement pieces, that ‘s why I created for her an edgy design with an edgier fabric that only she can pull off. As Mrs. Rai Bachchan walked the red carpet today, she shined like a goddess with the six-layered edgy train following her as a symbol of completeness and beauty," Sabaji told Vogue.
The former beauty queen let her show-stealing ensemble do the fashion talk, keeping it simple and elegant in the make-up corner. She skipped jewellery and opted for poker straight hair and minimal makeup - yellow eyeshadow, volumising mascara and a nude matte lip effortlessly rounded off her look. Some sparkly dust on the ears and two rings from the collections of Boucheron were all she needed to balance her blaze.
