In one of the books from the festival, the Jigra actress joined several other Loreal Paris ambassadors for pictures on the red carpet. She also shared a moment with Hollywood star Jane Fonda.

Jane Fonda at 87: ‘I'm not a Kardashian, okay? I prefer not to wear make-up'
There are some ambassadors for beauty brands with whom an interview can feel like a rehearsal for a TV commercial; a passionate explanation of the merits of a certain face cream or a shampoo. Not with Jane Fonda, who, at 87 years old, is unapologetically telling me the opposite. 'I don't have very much to say about make-up,' she shrugs. 'I'm not a fanatic about make-up, you know, I'm not a Kardashian, okay? I just moisturise a lot and I always prefer when I don't have to put make-up on.' Despite being an award-winning actress with a career spanning six decades, I gather Fonda has more important issues on her mind: Fonda has just returned from the Amazon rainforest in Ecuador where she spent eight days as part of her work to support indigenous land rights. She has been an outspoken activist for over 50 years, earning the nickname 'Hanoi Jane' in the 1970s for protesting the Vietnam War, and more recently has been working with Greenpeace on climate change. She's now in the French Riviera dressed in a crisp cream blazer, looking every inch the glamorous octogenarian you see on the red carpet. There's not a single eyelash or natural silver hair from her halo of curls out of place. As ambassador for L'Oreal Paris, she's a regular on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival, along with the brand's other ambassadors such as Helen Mirren, Kate Winslet and Andie MacDowell. 'It's always fun to be here,' she tells me. 'I like the other ambassadors, you know, I have good friends here so I'm always very happy to see them.' No matter how many times she's been on a red carpet, though, she explains it's still 'a challenge'. 'I feel beautiful when I've gotten all fixed up to go out, when somebody has done my hair and I've got my beautiful clothes on and I'm going out. I feel beautiful then, sometimes. Not always.' She pauses. 'Up until the time when you have to put a corset on and you're plucked into it trying to pretend like you're not uncomfortable, and you're trying to not fall over. You know, it's challenging. I'm not crazy about doing things like that, but I do it.' Does she ever think about how she looks? 'I mean, I think a lot about how I look if I'm going to go out to a party, but for everyday life, I don't think about it that much. It's hard for me to talk about 'beauty' because it's not what I think about very much.' Fonda stopped colouring her hair at 83, and tells me she only washes her hair once a week. As for the shine on her silver strands, she uses the L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss 5 Minute Lamination Treatment. She tells me she loves a good mascara, such as the Volume Million Lashes by L'Oreal Paris and also uses foundation and 'rouge, or whatever you call it,' she says flatly, shrugging her shoulders. Volume Million Lashes by L'Oreal Paris, £11.99, Boots; L'Oréal Paris Elvive Glycolic Gloss 5 Minute Lamination Treatment, £16.99 (currently on sale for £8.49), Boots She is refreshingly uninterested in an elaborate beauty regime. 'I think there are some people that chase beauty, and I'm not one of them, but there are some people who do for sure,' she tells me. 'I feel sorry for them because it's elusive.' According to Fonda, what matters more is how a person chooses to live. 'If a person, and it can be a man or a woman, knows who they are and they are living the way they want to live in life and they feel they have integrity, it's gonna show in their face and in their demeanour, right? I think that person would be in some ways more beautiful.' She pauses for a minute. 'Someone who was unhappy and didn't know how to express themselves and self-worth, I don't think it's a good sign,' she says, shaking her head. 'Especially if a person is always obsessed with how they look.' Is there any advice she'd give to her younger self? 'Don't give up Jane, it's gonna get better.' I reluctantly ask her if she cares to elaborate. She sighs. 'Well, my mother killed herself and everybody in my family suffered from depression.' (When Fonda was 12, her mother died in a psychiatric hospital.) 'Um, a lot of our friends committed suicide and early life was not so happy,' she continues. 'And so what I would say to myself is don't give up, don't kill yourself, it's going to get better, especially if you work at making it better.' For Fonda, there was no single 'turning point' to feeling better. 'It's just little-by-little,' she says, looking off to one corner. 'You get better, you grow, you become wiser if you work on yourself.' Part of this is in the form of exercise: Fonda's 1982 fitness video changed the landscape of fitness for women, and she told The Telegraph in an interview last year that she 'forces' herself to exercise 'because it makes a difference not just in my body, but in my brain'. As our interview time comes to an end, I ask Fonda what her favourite part of being in Cannes is? 'Taking it all off,' she says, gesturing to her face and clothes, 'and getting into bed. I'd much rather have it off than on.' She stops, and leaves with her final few words of advice. 'Stay happy, have good posture and get enough sleep.'

Indian beauty: Aishwarya stuns in ivory saree with sindoor at Cannes Film Festival
Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been the face of true Indian beauty internationally for decades now. Going back to her roots, the former Miss World decided to walk the Cannes red carpet this year as a perfect Indian married woman in saree and sindoor. The 'Guru' actress left everyone stunned as she appeared in a classic ivory handloom saree with golden embellishment, which she paired with a matching full sleeves blouse, and a drape style dupatta. Aish matched the saree with a red chocker, accompanying it with a stunning ruby neckpiece and matching earrings. We could also see a complimentary ring in her hand as she waved at the cameras on the red carpet. She was seen wearing a dark lipstick with a red tint, along with some light blush, eyeshadow, and a thick eyeliner. Aishwarya kept her hair open, with a thick layer of sindoor in the parting. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan arrives for the screening of 'The History of Sound' at the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, on Wednesday. Reuters Designer Manish Malhotra shared some pictures of Aish from Cannes on his Instagram handle and wrote, "The OG Indian Queen of Cannes @aishwaryaraibachchan_arb embraces Classic White Handloom in a handwoven kadwa ivory Handloom Banarasi saree with a handwoven tissue drape and imperial heirloom of rubies from @manishmalhotrajewellery #mymmsaree." With her latest appearances, Aishwarya has successfully paid tribute to her Indian roots. The "Dhoom 2" actress has managed to set trends with her Cannes appearances over the years. Aishwarya made her 22nd appearance at the film festival as the global ambassador for Loreal Paris. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan arrives for the screening of 'The History of Sound' at the 78th edition of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes. AFP She made her Cannes debut in 2002 when Sanjay Leela Bhansali's "Devdas", co-starring Shah Rukh Khan and Madhuri Dixit premiered at the festival. While Aishwarya has received a lot of praise for some of her looks at the event, in the last few years, she has also been subjected to a lot of criticism for her choice of attire. Meanwhile, after Aishwarya's sindoor moment took the internet by storm, Celina Jaitly penned a powerful message highlighting the deeper significance of sindoor. She emphasised how this traditional symbol stands as a bold statement against terrorism and intolerance, resonating far beyond its cultural roots. On Thursday, Jaitly took to her Instagram handle and shared his photos flaunting sindoor and penned a thought-provoking note. Sharing her images, the 'No Entry' actress wrote, "#sindoor is trending all over the world. Sindoor is no longer just a symbol of marital devotion. Today it stands as a powerful emblem of India's collective spirit, of love, sacrifice, and resistance. As Sindoor trends across the world for its beauty, we must remember what it truly means to us. It is sacred. It is strength. And now, it is also a statement. Sindoor is not only a personal mission, it is a call to stand against terrorism, to demand accountability, and to uphold our right to live in peace." "Through sindoor, we honour those we love, those we've lost, and those we fight to bring home. We wear it not just as tradition but as a vow to protect everything it stands for.'
