Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has been a regular guest at the Cannes Film Festival since 2002. Two decades later, Aishwarya continues to own the red carpet. The Ponniyin Selvan actor made her first red carpet appearance of the year at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on Thursday at the night screening of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny, and her look garnered attention across the globe.
She wore a shimmering silver hooded gown paired with a matching cape and a big black bow at the waist from Sophie Couture. She completed her look with open hair and an alluring red shade on her lips. The actor shared photos of her look on the red carpet and her look for the interview off the red carpet on her Instagram handle.
While she did look stunning as always, and her fans hailed her as the "Queen of Cannes," her outfit triggered a meme fest on Twitter.

Another netizen commented that only Aishwarya Rai can look like a walking tinsel disco ball but still blind us with her beauty.

Aishwarya Rai Bachan, who also wore a shimmering green dress for the interviews off the red carpet paired with glass platform heels, was trolled by a section of netizens for her hairstyle. The actor has been wearing her hair the same way—straight, parted in the middle—in recent times, which has apparently bored the netizens.
Asking her to change her hairstyle, one user wrote that she looks stunning as always but really needs to change her hair. Another user wrote that they were expecting that she would perhaps sport a different hairstyle at least at Cannes but were disappointed that she stuck with the same hairstyle. Some users also gave a huge thumbs down to Aishwarya Rai’s entire look and asked her to "change her stylist."
In other news, the actor is relishing the success of her latest films, Ponniyin Selvan 1 and 2. Her performance as Nandhini was highly praised and loved by fans from all over the world.
