Aishwarya Rai made her debut at the Cannes Film Festival in 2002. She walked the red carpet in a yellow Neeta Lulla saree, which became one of the most iconic looks for the festival till date. She returned to the festival the following year as a jury member. In 2004 too, the actress opted for a Neeta Lulla creation for her international appearance.
