Why Aishwarya Rai’s Cannes 2024 ensemble falls flat, from glamorous to boring
High fashion and a stunning selection of glamorous outfits are hallmarks of the Cannes Film Festival. Fans and fashion critics alike have responded to Bollywood icon Aishwarya Rai Bachchan’s most recent red carpet-performance in various ways.
Aishwarya made a statement on the esteemed red carpet with an eye-catching black gown by Indian designer Falguni Shane Peacock accented with dazzling gold and white pieces. The dress was made to stand out and has a few unique features that attracted different kinds of comments.
Large gold appliqués on a fitting black foundation created a striking contrast that overpowered the ensemble rather than making a strong statement. Her figure appears somewhat unattractive due to the billowy white sleeves that encircle her shoulders, adding another layer of could-have-done-better.
Although puff sleeves evoke the feminine mystique of the Renaissance, they overpower even the nuances that can still be saved in Aishwarya’s outfit. The gold detailing is what, if not for the sleeves, could have been a really nice feature. Sadly, rather of adding a subtle elegance in this instance, it detracts from the dress’s overall harmony and silhouette.
The dress’s train, which was embellished with elaborate gold and white details, increased the drama. The train’s ornate appearance, however intentional, further diminished the elegance that is usually associated with Cannes. Large gold hoops earrings were Aishwarya’s choice of accessories for the gown; although they were meant to mix well with the dress’s gold accents, they added to the ensemble’s overall busyness.
There is no doubting that the Devdas star’s wardrobe selections continue to draw attention from all around the world, despite the differing viewpoints. One of the most recognisable stars in Bollywood, her red carpet visits are usually highly anticipated and a topic of intense discussion. While not everyone was delighted with her audacious decision, it undoubtedly made her the center of attention during the 77th Cannes Film Festival.
