After leaving us all dumb-struck with her Cinderella outing on the red carpet last year, former Miss World and Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan is back to claim her throne. The diva has become the talk of the town ever since she has walked the Cannes red-carpet in a butterfly-inspired Michael Cinco couture gown, which by the way took 3,000 hours to get made. "The gown was created to reflect the impalpable dream of a butterfly metamorphosis," Cinco informed Harper Bazaar.

Covered completely in Swarovski crystals, the ultra-violet gown made Aish look nothing less than a goddess. The sweetheart neck-line and the body-hugging fit accentuated Aish's enviable figure beautifully. Speaking about the exquisite 20-foot train, the Dubai-based designer said, "It mimics a butterfly emerging from it’s chrysalis." 

The ensemble was originally created for a Swarovski exhibition, but it was Aish's inputs that made it the 'dress-of-the-moment.' "We worked closely with Aishwarya and her team in creating the perfect fit and making minor alterations to best suit her," the designer further revealed.

Aish has played Cinco's muse twice and it has been a pleasure for both the parties. "Aishwarya’s style is truly empowering. She uses fashion to instill confidence and reflect a sense of empowerment that is not only beautiful but also very inspiring. Her timeless style radiates such an allure, as she’s so well versed in her every curve, knowing exactly how to dress to accentuate her defining assets," he gushed.
