Aishwarya Rai Bachchan once again proved why she’s the undisputed queen of the Cannes red carpet. At the 78th Cannes Film Festival, the global icon turned heads in a stunning white Banarasi saree designed by Manish Malhotra, exuding elegance, tradition, and grace.

While the former Miss World has faced fashion criticism in recent years, this time, she silenced trolls and critics alike. Her look – complete with sindoor in her maang and a bold red necklace – was a proud tribute to Indian culture on an international stage.

What caught everyone’s attention was not just her royal attire, but also the symbolism behind it. Amid swirling rumors about her separation from Abhishek Bachchan, Aishwarya’s graceful appearance with sindoor served as a powerful and silent response, putting gossip to rest in the most elegant way.

Fans couldn’t stop raving about her look. Comments poured in, calling her “the real Queen of Cannes” and praising her as “a timeless beauty.” Many hailed her as the perfect tribute to “Operation Sindoor,” with her cultural representation striking an emotional chord.

As her first look creates waves, fans now eagerly await Aishwarya Rai’s next appearance at Cannes.
