As per the designer, the gown was imagined in collaboration with stylist Mohit Rai as an exploration of “radiance in motion, the couture silhouette is realised through the house’s signature Crystal Vein embroidery, where thousands of crystalline embellishments converge within sculptural lattice-like structures to create an interplay of luminosity, depth, and fluidity”.The actor left her hair loose and posed for pictures and videos on the iconic stairs at the Martinez Hotel. She even waved at those who recognised her there and was all smiles. One video showed actor Eva Longoria greeting her friends. Aishwarya greeted her with cheek kisses. Aishwarya and Eva have known each other for years, given that they’re both L’Oréal brand ambassadors.Aishwarya first appeared at the Cannes Film Festival in 2002, when she walked the red carpet with Shah Rukh Khan and director Sanjay Leela Bhansali for the premiere of their film, Devdas. The following year, she appeared on the red carpet as a L’Oreal ambassador for the first time. Since 2003, she has been a regular at the festival.
