Cannes Flashback: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Hit & Miss Fashion Journey So Far
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is the undisputed Queen of Cannes Film Festival. The seasoned actress has represented India since 2002 at this prestigious film festival. This year too, Aishwarya will be seen walking the red carpet at Cannes and we are as curious as you are about what she would be wearing. Her fashion statements have wowed us mostly but sometimes, she too has given major disappointments in terms of fashion. We feel that her fashion has only evolved with time. Let's unravel her Cannes journey since the very beginning and find out, which look of hers were hits and which ones were misses.
2002: In A Neeta Lulla Sari
Aishwarya
began
her
Cannes
journey
with
a
Neeta
Lulla
sari.
We
understand
that
she
wanted
to
traditionally
represent
India
by
donning
a
sari
but
this
one
was
a
miss
mostly
because
of
her
styling
and
jewellery.
While
her
golden
Neeta
Lulla
sari
was
exquisite,
her
heavy
jewellery
was
too
elaborate
and
seemed
more
bridal
than
red
carpet.
Also
that
vibrant
pink
lip
shade
was
a
major
no-no.
We
wished
she
had
worn
a
nude
lip
shade.
Verdict:
Miss
2003 (Look 1): In A Neeta Lulla Sari
The
diva
disappointed
us
yet
again
with
a
Neeta
Lulla
sari.
It
was
a
bright
green
sari,
which
she
teamed
with
an
intricately-embroidered
floral
blouse.
We
actually
liked
the
drape
of
her
sari
but
it
was
her
heavy
neckpiece
jewellery
again
that
didn't
suit
the
look.
The
dewy
makeup
suited
her
but
it
was
the
high
bun
that
looked
awful.
Verdict:
Miss
2003 (Look 2): In A Neeta Lulla Separates
Continuing
her
overboard
look,
Ash
booed
us
again
with
her
vibrant
textured
pink
blouse,
which
seemed
so
unflattering
and
she
paired
it
with
a
heavily
shimmery
structured
skirt.
Her
dupatta
complemented
her
skirt
but
did
nothing
to
enhance
her
look.
On
the
top
of
it,
the
makeup
was
not
great
and
the
bun
just
ruined
her
look.
Verdict:
Miss
2004: In A Neeta Lulla Gown
The
next
year
was
a
tad
bit
better
but
we
couldn't
say
it
was
awesome
for
the
former
Miss
World.
Aishwarya
again
went
for
a
Neeta
Lulla
number,
which
was
a
silver
embellished
gown.
With
this,
she
gave
us
a
break
from
the
ethnic
outfits.
This
silver
sequinned
gown
of
hers
was
so
much
better
but
the
slits
on
the
gown
were
so
poorly
done.
However,
she
went
for
more
minimal
look
this
year
and
that
was
a
turning
point
for
Aishwarya.
Verdict:
Hit
2005 (Look 1): In A Gucci Gown
Come
2005
and
Aishwarya
ditched
Neeta
Lulla
for
an
international
designer.
By
then,
we
believe
Ash
understood
global
fashion
more
vividly.
So,
she
wore
a
black
Gucci
gown
that
was
an
eye-opener
and
too
good.
The
gown
was
accentuated
by
intricate
mesh
work
and
the
mermaid-cut.
Her
jewellery
was
light
and
she
went
for
diamonds
instead
of
gold.
The
makeup
was
more
natural
and
the
wavy
tresses
worked
wonders
for
her.
Verdict:
Hit
2005 (Look 2): In A Giorgio Armani Dress
Aishwarya's
second
number
was
a
Giorgio
Armani
dress,
which
was
ruffled
and
she
looked
stunning
in
it.
Her
attire
was
dipped
in
an
ivory
hue
and
adorned
with
multi-coloured
floral
prints.
She
teamed
her
ensemble
with
black
sandals
and
the
makeup
consisted
of
a
glossy
pink
lip
shade,
contoured
cheekbones,
and
subtle
kohl.
The
side-swept
sleek
tresses
completed
her
look.
Verdict:
Hit
2006: In A Roberto Cavalli Gown
The
previous
year
Aishwarya
had
fashion
successes
but
in
2006,
she
notched
up
her
avatar
and
gave
us
one
of
her
best
fashion
moments
with
this
strapless
Roberto
Cavalli
gown.
It
was
a
ruffled
violet
gown
that
enhanced
her
slender
frame
and
we
absolutely
loved
the
serpentine-shaped
neckpiece.
Well,
Ash
did
take
chances
this
time
and
the
side-swept
tresses
finished
her
look.
This
year,
her
movie
'Provoked' was
also
screened.
Verdict:
Hit
2007: In A Giorgio Armani Gown
This
year
was
special
for
Aishwarya
as
she
came
with
Abhishek
Bachchan
and
their
film,
'Guru'
was
screened.
The
actress
turned
heads
with
an
off-shouldered
Giorgio
Armani
gown,
which
was
splashed
in
a
pristine
white
hue
and
featured
feathery
accents
on
the
bodice.
The
diamond
choker
was
absolutely
spot-on
and
she
upped
her
makeup
with
a
silver
eye
shadow.
Verdict:
Hit
2008 (Look 1): In A Roberto Cavalli Gown
Around
this
year,
we
noticed
that
Aishwarya's
favourite
Cannes
designers
were
Armani
and
Cavalli.
Her
fuchsia
gown
by
Cavalli
was
a
major
hit
and
we
thought
that
with
this
number,
she
truly
took
her
fashion
game
notches
higher.
She
looked
like
a
whiff
of
fresh
air
in
this
gorgeous
gown
and
could
have
easily
been
one
of
the
best-dressed
that
year.
Verdict:
Hit
2008 (Look 2): In An Armani Prive
However,
she
didn't
have
hit
all
the
time.
This
green
Armani
Prive
gown
of
hers
came
as
a
major
disaster.
To
be
very
honest,
her
styling
and
makeup
was
beautifully
done
but
we
didn't
like
the
gown.
The
metallic
textured
green
with
floral
accents
and
a
side-slit
looked
overwhelming.
So,
yes
Aishwarya
served
a
slight
disappointment
here.
Verdict:
Miss
2009: In A Roberto Cavalli Gown
While
most
of
her
Roberto
Cavalli
gown
worked
wonders
on
us,
this
one
didn't.
She
wore
a
strapless
Cavalli
gown
that
was
partly
embellished
and
partly
feathered.
We
didn't
like
the
gown
much
but
more
than
the
gown,
it
was
her
makeup
that
ruined
the
look.
The
nude-toned
makeup
here
and
the
side-swept
high
bun
made
it
an
underwhelming
look.
Verdict:
Miss
2010 (Look 1): In A Sabyasachi Sari
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
brought
back
her
traditional
fashion
game
but
this
time,
she
pulled
it
off.
She
wore
a
Sabyasachi
sari
that
was
exquisitely
embellished
in
gold
and
she
teamed
it
with
a
black
blouse
that
went
well
with
her
attire.
The
middle-parted
impeccable
bun
and
the
smoky
kohl
added
definitions
to
her
ethnic
look.
Verdict:
Hit
2010 (Look 2): In An Elie Saab Gown
The
diva
finally
ended
her
Cavalli
and
Armani
streak
by
donning
an
Elie
Saab
gown.
The
lavender
gown
with
sheer
delicate
sleeves
was
beautiful
and
featured
meticulous
ruffled
accents.
The
gown
was
beautiful
but
it
was
the
experimentation
in
makeup
that
didn't
go
well.
The
glossy
pink
lip
shade
and
the
puffed
hairdo
brought
her
look
notches
down.
Verdict:
Miss
2011: In An Armani Gown
Well,
we
felt
that
Aishwarya
wanted
her
look
to
be
more
contemporary
this
time.
In
2011,
she
stunned
us
with
a
sharp-edged
colour-blocked
gown
by
Armani.
It
was
a
strapless
gown
with
an
asymmetrical
ivory
bodice
and
contrasting
navy
blue
skirt
with
a
train.
The
chic
jewellery
and
the
beautiful
bun
worked
for
her.
She
was
clearly
experimenting.
Verdict:
Hit
2012: In An Elie Saab Gown
Aishwarya
carried
her
post
baby
weight
this
time
but
nonetheless
didn't
fail
to
woo
us
with
her
embellished
black
gown,
which
came
from
Elie
Saab.
It
was
a
dazzling
sequinned
gown
with
sheer
sleeves
and
Ash
looked
amazing
in
it.
The
glossy
pink
lip
shade
and
smoky
kohl
went
well
with
her
look.
However,
the
side-swept
tresses
were
the
most
refreshing
element
to
her
look.
Verdict:
Hit
2013: In A Gucci Gown
Aishwarya
was
experimenting
but
not
quite
everything
was
working
in
her
favour.
She
shocked
us
at
Cannes
2013
with
a
metallic
teal-hued
Gucci
gown
that
was
one-shouldered
and
sharply
structural.
However,
it
was
her
makeup
that
made
her
look
harsh
and
disastrous.
The
bright
pink
lip
shade
and
the
high
bun
were
sort
of
a
bummer.
Verdict:
Miss
2014: In A Roberto Cavalli
Aishwarya
stuck
to
her
comfort
zone
in
2014
by
donning
a
Cavalli
gown
for
the
red
carpet
appearance.
It
was
a
golden-hued
gown,
which
was
absolutely
modern
and
accentuated
by
sheer
accents.
With
this
gown,
we
felt
she
represented
India
beautifully.
The
textured
accents,
the
pink
lip
shade,
and
the
middle-parted
tresses
made
her
look
impressive.
Verdict:
Hit
2015: In A Ralph & Russo Gown
Aishwarya
sported
a
Ralph
&
Russo
gown
that
was
accentuated
by
origami
folds.
It
was
a
strapless
gown
with
sharp
edges
and
was
adorned
with
a
sprinkle
of
black
accents.
This
was
a
voluminous
gown
and
this
was
the
beginning
of
her
fairy
tale
gown
journey.
The
makeup
was
upped
by
smoky
kohl
and
nude
lip
shade
and
the
side-swept
wavy
tresses
elevated
her
look.
We
also
loved
her
delicate
earrings.
Verdict:
Hit
2016: In A Rami Kadi Gown
This
was
the
year
when
Aishwarya
was
heavily
criticised
for
her
purple
lip
shade.
She
also
received
a
jibe
from
fellow
Cannes
queen,
Sonam
Kapoor
Ahuja.
The
actress
wore
a
floral
Rami
Kadi
gown,
which
we
felt
was
awesome
and
classy.
The
smoky
kohl
went
well
with
her
look
but
that
purple
lip
shade
didn't
do
anything
to
up
her
avatar.
Verdict:
Miss
2017: In A Michael Cinco Gown
Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
with
this
gown
gave
us
a
Cinderella
moment.
It
was
a
voluminous
gown
by
Michael
Cinco
that
totally
took
our
breath
away.
It
was
an
off-shouldered
blue
ball
gown
that
was
adorned
with
floral
appliques
and
she
looked
beyond
amazing
in
it.
This
time,
her
dewy
makeup
and
magenta
lip
shade
was
on-point.
The
sleek
tresses
went
well
with
her
look.
Verdict:
Hit
2018 (Look 1): In A Michael Cinco Gown
Well,
Michael
Cinco
gave
us
another
extraordinary
gown
in
2018.
Aishwarya
created
history
by
sporting
a
20-foot
cape
dress
that
was
inspired
by
butterfly
and
took
around
3000
hours
to
create.
It
was
a
surreal
abstract
piece
and
she
spruced
up
her
look
with
a
sapphire
and
amethyst
earrings
from
de
Grisogono.
The
previous
year
was
also
the
year,
where
Ash
was
honoured
for
gracing
Cannes
Film
Festival
for
more
than
15
years.
Verdict:
Hit
2018 (Look 2): In A Rami Kadi Gown
The
diva
stayed
consistent
in
terms
of
fashion
and
her
second
gown
was
by
Rami
Kadi.
This
was
an
icy
gown
that
was
beautifully
sequinned
and
featured
light
floral
accents.
Her
gown
was
figure-flattering.
We
thought
her
makeup
highlighted
by
a
bright
pink
lip
shade
and
that
masterpiece
bun
elevated
her
look.
Verdict:
Hit
