Aishwarya Rai made a mesmerising return to the Cannes Film Festival, capturing everyone’s attention with her flawless style. This marked her 22nd appearance on the Cannes red carpet as a global ambassador for L’Oréal Paris, further cementing her status as a timeless icon in the world of fashion and cinema.

Classic Indian Elegance In Ivory And Gold

For her Cannes 2025 red carpet appearance, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan chose a breathtaking creation by Manish Malhotra. She wore a handwoven ivory Banarasi saree that featured intricate kadwa craftsmanship. Woven in fine handloom, the saree showcased brocade motifs and hand-embroidered zari highlights that were created from real silver, which gave it gleam. The palette, a stunning mix of ivory, rose gold, and silver, radiated opulence and sophistication.

Adding a layer of elegance, the actress paired her look with a sheer white tissue dupatta, handwoven and adorned with real gold and silver embroidery along the borders. This ensemble added a regal touch to Aishwarya, making everyone speechless.

While describing the outfit on social media, Manish Malhotra wrote: "The ensemble marks a deliberate departure from conventional red carpet codes, reintroducing the saree not as nostalgia, but as contemporary couture. A bold assertion from the brand, rewriting what Indian ceremonial dress can signify on the global stage."

Aishwarya Rai's look not only celebrated the richness of Indian textile heritage but also redefined how tradition can be reimagined in modern and contemporary styles.

The Show-Stopping Iconic Ruby Necklace

Complementing her timeless saree, Aishwarya Rai accessorised herself in opulent jewellery exclusively from Manish Malhotra’s high jewellery collection. Without a doubt, the jewellery became the centrepiece of her Cannes 2025 look. She wore dazzling heirloom-inspired pieces that consisted of over 500 carats of Mozambique rubies and uncut diamonds, all set in 18k gold, capturing every gaze. Adding to the grandeur were the Renaissance of Rubies statement rings, which further elevated her aura and regal look.

With this appearance, Aishwarya paid a tribute to India’s rich heritage in gemstone craftsmanship. Her ensemble did not only exude sophistication and tradition but also started worldwide conversation, making it one of the most memorable and talked-about moments of the 78^th Cannes Film Festival so far.
