Thursday, May 16, 2013, 13:22 [IST]

Vidya Balan has always had a penchant for traditional Indian clothes. She always confessed her love for ethnic Indian sarees. So it was expected that Vidya Balan's Cannes trousseau will basically have Indian outfits. However, none of us was prepared for what we just saw. Not only did Vidya Balan wear desi outfits at Cannes 2013, but she went one step ahead.

We saw Vidya Balan in lehengas which is quite rare. Everyone expected Vidya Balan to wear sarees at Cannes. But so far, we have seen Vidya Balan wear 2 lehengas at the opening day of Cannes 2013. She was also seen wearing a saree from Sabhyasachi Mukherjee's couture. Everyone knows about Vidya Balan's preference for designer Sabyasachi Mukherjee's outfits. Vidya Balan's Cannes clothes are completely from Sabyasachi's fashion label as was her wedding trousseau.

But at Cannes, Vidya Balan's look is not going down well with fashion experts. While we loved the red and black lehenga Vidya wore while arriving at Cannes, the rest of her outfits were huge flops. Vidya Balan wore a white and gold saree in the afternoon during a jury photocall at day one in Cannes. The saree was worn with a black net embroidered blouse. There was nothing wrong with the saree but it was very dull for the occasion. And for the opening ceremony, Vidya choose to wear a very drab lehenga. It was pale peach and black in colour.

Here is a round up of Vidya Balan's Cannes look on day one.

Vidya Balan in Red Lehenga

Vidya Balan looked like a queen in this maroon lehenga with golden work on it. The dupatta of this lehenga was black and Vidya wore pretty jhumkis with it.
