Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked the red carpet at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on Thursday. The actress stunned in a silver-and-black Sophie Couture at the event. The black gown was paired with lightweight aluminum details, a signature corset and crystals, from the Cannes Capsule Collection.
The outfit had a black bow at the waistline and the dramatic silver hood that went over her head. The shimmery silver gown featured a long trail. Letting her outfit do the talking, the Ponniyin Selvan II styled her hair in a mid-parting. For the makeup, the former Miss World opted for glamorous red lip colour and matte finish.
