From Cannes to Paris Fashion Week: 5 times Aishwarya Rai Bachchan proved red is her go-to colour

At the 2017 Cannes Film Festival, Aishwarya defied the unwritten rule of avoiding red on the red carpet by donning a stunning off-shoulder, multi-layered ruffled gown by Ralph & Russo. Her choice exuded a glorious Spanish vibe, making her stand out amidst the crowd.

During Paris Fashion Week 2024, she graced the runway in a striking red balloon-hem gown by Mossi. The off-shoulder design with cape sleeves and a playful bubble hemline showcased her ability to carry avant-garde fashion with elegance.

In 2016, celebrating her 15th year at Cannes, Aishwarya wore a floor-length red gown by Indian-American designer Naeem Khan. The ensemble, paired with her signature red lipstick, painted the French Riviera red and highlighted her timeless beauty.

For a day outing at Cannes 2019, she chose a red and white strapless gown by Leal Daccarett. The thick horizontal stripes and body-hugging bodice offered a fun departure from her usual formal looks, proving her versatility in fashion.

Slipping into a red bodycon gown embellished with mirrors, Aishwarya kept it sleek with centre-parted hair and a bold red pout, this was confidence, couture and charm all in one.
