CANNES (Web Desk) – When Indian actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan picked up a Ellie Saab gown for her first outing at the 68th Cannes Film Festival, it was a no brainer.
The Lebanese fashion designer has become a favourite over the past 14 years Ash has been making her Cannes presence.
The actress wore a stunning teal blue Elie Saab gown for her red carpet walk – a custom gown that was inspired by a Spring 2015 look.
She wore her hair in side swept soft curls and finished her look with matching eye make-up and a bold lip.
She is naturally beautiful – mesmerising eye, porcelain skin, soft hair; Aishwarya doesn’t need to do much to stand out. But this tie the wow factor was missing.
In addition to that, Aish was spotted posing for a selfie with co-ambassador Eva Longoria.
“We became friends at Cannes. L’Oréal Paris got us together!,” said Aishwarya about this sweet friendship.
It has officially been announced that Cannes Film Festival will ban all selfies this year.
However, it appeared not all the stars got the message after Eva Longoria and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan were photographed flouting the new rule on the hallowed red carpet of the Palais Des Festivals.
Appearing at the premiere of ‘Carol’ in their roles as L’Oreal spokesmodels, the pair posed for a selfie together taken by Bollywood beauty Aishwarya.
Eva Longoria has been documenting her entire evening proceedings on social media platforms and cozying up with Ash. Eva also took time for a solo selfie on the steps on the Palais.
Posting her selfie on Twitter, she wrote: ‘At the top of the Palais! Celebrating 10yrs with @lorealParis #Cannes2015 #BecauseWeCannes #InsideCannes.’
L’Oreal Paris’s Indian Twitter feed posted a picture of the two posing together, captioning it: ‘We became friends at Cannes. L’Oréal Paris got us together!” -Aishwarya. @EvaLongoria #Cannes2015 #AishwaryaAtCannes.’
Eva, 40, was thrilled to be reunited with her old friend Aishwarya, 41, who she met at Cannes many years ago.
However it appears Aishwarya and Eva weren’t the only ones breaking the ban – models Erin O’Connor and Erin Heatheron were also spotted taking selfies on the Palais.
On May 19, Aishwarya, along with her team of ‘Jazbaa’ will present a sneak peak of their movie at Cannes.
She will walk the red carpet again on May 20.
On May 21, Aishwarya will attend the 22nd annual Cinema Against AIDS gala along with her husband Abhishek Bachchan.
The 68th Festival de Cannes kick started on May 13 and will continue through May 24.
