Saree, Sindoor And Sculpted Drama: Aishwarya Rai's Cannes Style Was Unforgettable
Last Updated:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan lit up Cannes 2024 with a breathtaking blend of Indian tradition and cinematic glamour.
Though the red carpet at the Festival de Cannes has been rolled away for the year, the impressions left by Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's stunning appearances continue to echo across fashion circles. The celebrated actor and global spokesperson for L'Oréal Paris brought back her signature poise and glamour to the French Riviera, reminding the world once again why she remains an undisputed icon on the global stage.
Marking a milestone moment for L'Oréal Paris—its 28th year of association with the prestigious film festival—Aishwarya's return was nothing short of a cinematic spectacle. Her two standout appearances this year served as both a homage to Indian craftsmanship and a display of modern sophistication.
Look One: Regal Indian Elegance
In her first appearance, Aishwarya turned heads with a timeless Indian look that radiated heritage and grace. Draped in a handcrafted ivory Banarasi saree by Manish Malhotra, paired with a sheer tissue dupatta, she redefined red carpet dressing through the lens of Indian tradition. What made the ensemble even more striking was the vivid red sindoor—a powerful, culturally rich symbol that stood out with elegance on the international stage.
Her glowing makeup look, created entirely with L'Oréal Paris products, added to the regal effect. The Infallible 24H Tinted Serum Foundation in the shade 1-2 Rosy Light provided a radiant, hydrated base. Her lips were defined with Color Riche Satin Lipstick in 540 Le Nude Unstoppable, while her eyes made a bold statement with Panorama Mascara, Infallible Grip Up to 36H Gel Automatic Liner in 001 Intense Black, and Infallible Grip 24H Matte Liquid Liner in 01 Matte Black. The overall effect was one of quiet majesty—refined, rooted, and resonant.
Her beauty look, once again crafted using L'Oréal Paris essentials, featured the Infallible 24H Tinted Serum Foundation for that signature dewy glow. Her lips were painted in the bold, statement-making Infallible Matte Resistance Liquid Lipstick in 420 Le Rouge Paris, a colour that echoed both strength and sensuality. Her eye makeup delivered high impact with Infallible Grip 24H Matte Liquid Liner and Panorama Mascara, adding intensity to her vintage glamour.
Her hair, coloured in L'Oréal Paris Excellence Crème Hair Color in 4.25 Aishwarya's Brown, was styled to perfection using the Extraordinary Oil Serum, exuding volume, sheen, and softness with every turn.
Lights, Beauty, Action: A Legacy Continues
This year's Cannes campaign theme, 'Lights, Beauty, Action", was a tribute not only to the art of cinema but to the ideals of self-worth and empowerment that L'Oréal Paris has long championed. Aishwarya's presence on the red carpet embodied this ethos to its core—each look telling a story of cultural pride, timeless beauty, and fierce individuality.
As Cannes 2025 prepares to usher in a new chapter next year, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's 2024 appearance will remain etched as one of its most memorable fashion moments—where Indian identity met global glamour in perfect harmony.
