If you thought Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s first Cannes Film Festival look was a miss, the second one might make you question whether her stylist has a personal vendetta against her. The Devdas actor donned a theatrical blue and silver gown, reminiscent of confetti, as she attended the screening of Kinds of Kindness.
The outfit was designed by Falguni and Shane Peacock, known for their vibrant and contemporary styles. Usually, they excel in styling A-listers, but this time, their aim missed the mark entirely. As soon as images of Aishwarya on the red carpet hit social media, critics pounced. One user commented, “Her stylist hates her more than her in-laws.” Another wrote, “My Christmas tree is better decorated than this,” reflecting the general sentiment.
While some rushed to comment, others were busy creating memes. Some X users agreed the outfit looked like it was inspired by party decorations. “Tell me it does not look like those decorative strings you use at home parties,” one user wrote.
A veteran at the prestigious film festival, Aishwarya’s red carpet appearances are usually celebrated by fans. This year was no exception for some. “None of us or the models would be able to carry this dress like she did. Do you think anybody else could look this beautiful wearing this? No. Stars, sunshine, sparkles, glow, drama, beauty all in one frame. My favourite photo,” wrote one user.
These fans, however, may have been lost in their unwavering affection, unable to see past their rose-tinted lenses.
