While her ornate gold jhumkas stood out, she accessorised her look with a messy French braid which had a dash of shimmer, dewy make-up and soft pink lips. Her overall look was minimal, but she gave a colourful twist with red nail paint. The actress, who is the brand ambassador of L’Oréal Paris, is representing the cosmetic giant at the French Riviera.
