Aishwarya shows up in butterfly gown

MNA Entertainment Desk: Former beauty queen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made a colourful statement with a dramatic ‘butterfly’ gown by Dubai-based designer Michael Cinco for her first red carpet appearance at the 71st Cannes Film Festival here on Saturday.

Aishwarya, who clocks her 17th year at the film jamboree this time as L’Oreal Paris brand ambassador, took a confident walk with the exquisite three meter train trailing behind and catching the attention of the crowd.

She walked the red carpet for the premiere of Eva Husson’s French drama “Les filles du soleil”, starring Iranian actress Golshifteh Farahani.

Before she went for the red carpet, Aishwarya was welcomed with a loud cheer from the crowd. She waved out and signed autographs, apart from gesturing the traditional Indian ‘namaste’.
