Earlier, designer Manish Malhotra had taken to Instagram to share details of Aishwarya's Cannes outfit. She wrote, 'At the 78th Cannes Film Festival (@festivaldecannes), the undisputed icon of the Cannes red carpet, the beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan (@aishwaryaraibachchan_arb), makes a striking return in a visual statement that honours Indian handloom—a meditation in ivory, rose gold, and silver: a handwoven Kadwa ivory Banarasi handloom #mymmsaree. The Kadwa brocade technique stands as a true testament to the unmatched skill of Indian weavers. Originating from the famed looms of Varanasi, this intricate method involves crafting each motif separately, often using multiple shuttles and supplementary threads.'
For her second red carpet appearance at Cannes, Aishwarya opted for a dramatic black and white ensemble designed by Gaurav Gupta. With this look, she channelled old Hollywood glamour and once again dazzled as she graced the iconic steps.
