Deja Vu
120
It felt like deja vu seeing Aishwarya Rai walk down the red carpet on day three of Cannes. She wore a pink gown that reminded me so much of her appearance at Cannes 2008 in a Roberto Cavalli gown. (That appearance also had her carry a silver clutch). It would be funny if this gown is also a Cavalli. :P
Color and similarity aside, I wish the hair was different but then we might have had an ‘Almost’ Ditto of Ash vs Ash on our hands. Oddly enough, in 2008 the pink was my favorite look and now also this new appearance is my favorite.
Update: Aishwarya is in Gucci one of a kind.

FInally- she hits a home run! Looking fabulous, no helmet head or clown brows
she’s looking gorgeous. what color nailpolish should one wear if one wear this color dress?
she looks divine and dignified but she looks so HOT in the older pic. i hope while she’s there she picks up some fitness tips from deepika and eva.
actually like her better in the current pic!
Best look so far….the color suits her…hair looks good.
Yes, best so far. But the 2008 comparison with the 2010 just highlights how much she seems to have aged in a short time. She looks so fresh and delightful in the ’08 photo. She seems heavier and a bit more world weary in the 2010 pic. I think she and Abhi should move out to their own house and stop living with in-laws.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAAA!
far be it from a fashion blo to comment on domestics… but i hear ya girl!
UGH! it looks like its choking her… and the waist is a wrong length! what a hideous mess compared to that divine pink maxi she wore earlier at some party…
It may not be her best dress thus far, but she looks the most confident and comfortable here!
actually… not as hideous as just dull!
although the elie saab is still my favourite, i like this one too. as for aishwarya, she is looking a lot slimmer in this gown than she did in the other two gowns. the hair is nothing great but not bad either. would rate this one to be her best appearance so far, at cannes.
I have to agree.. this year its her best so far… the color looks gorgeous on her and i like the makeup and hair… All in all its GOOD.
Love the gown, and have always loved this color! I wish she would pep it up a little bit with some bling, she’s been wearing the same earrings and bracelet in all 3 of her red carpet appearances. But then again, with that face who’s gonna notice the bling bling!
Finally she comes through
Finally a gown that suits her body type.Like the colour and silhouette of the gown.Makes Aishwarya look a couple of years younger than her last two appearances on the red carpet.
I really like this appearance!!!
the color is gorgeous on her and I usually dont like pleated dresses…but LUV the pattern on this one!
its making her look tall and slender..and quite elegant!
wish she had gone with different hair!!!!
I really like this dress. It’s the kind of dress I’ve always wanted to see her in at Cannes: strong colour but not loud, no OTT train/frills/sequins…just a simple elegant cut, and with an interesting neckline as opposed to the off-shoulder style that makes her shoulders look chunky.
If I could change one thing it would be the hair (again). If they were going to paste her hair flat against her head they could at least have covered up those light streaks – otherwise it looks like she’s going grey. On open hair the streaks aren’t so noticeable but when you tack the hair against the head the lines look unflattering. That is the WTF element of this look for me, but not as WTF as on previous occasions.
Really love the dress though (from the front at least). I hope it doesn’t look fugly from the back (I won’t turn off my WTFometer until I see the back).
Well done Aishwarya’s stylist, finally you made her look a little more like the beautiful woman we know and love.
Just wanted to add: I find this gown much more classy and elegant than that shiny crinkled mess from 2008.
amen to that
Agree
marvelous.. wish she changed the earrings..same from last three days…also wanna see back of her dress and hair
neverthless, color looks divine on her.
oh i see the new pics added.. thanks.. she looks good.. barbie like…in good way:)
My oh my!!! Hello gorgeous :))) certainly her best so far. Though I liked the previous two but both times I felt that the boob tube style wasn’t doing justice to her body shape. She isn’t at her toned best n standing next to Eva longoria made it a lil worse. how I prayed that she picked a different style n guess wat my prayer got answered! I so shud’ve asked for a million dollars instead. That aside, she looks great. The color looks fabulous on her. She def gets my vote on this one! Go ash!! U did us proud.
oh wow! she looks breathtakingly beautiful! i love the color and the cut and shape of the gown is very figure flattering on Aish. I like that she kept her make-up very neutral since the color of the gown is so bright!
Ooh My God. My jaw dropped a while ago. I’m busy searching for it.
S.T.U.N.N.I.N.G she looks. Super stunning!
How the heck does she look better now? And I love her hair, her shoes, the gown (wow) and HER FACE!
Perfection. A hundred on ten. Well done, Ash. I have another reason to be proud when I say I’m Indian. You are that reason. Hats off.
so much better! I’m digging this – the dress as well as the make-up. But the hair!! why?
this appearance is my fav.she looks very young but why are her eyes always tired looking or bloodshot(in almost all appearances).does anyone else notice them?
No,sorry. It’s only you. Her eyes are looking beautiful.
she has an eye infection, according to media reports. i guess that’s why she’s going easy on the make-up.
Wow!!! thats so classy.
now dis iz wat i cal flawless n dis time luv d hair 2…but but but a bit of pout (lips)…she is luking mature n extremely gorgeous in comparison 2 her 2008 pic…lv dis luk
i think she looks fabulous… this is the look that i like the best of all of her appearances so far this year…she carried the colour very well
In all fairness though, the last pic is nice. It didn’t show up the first time I posted.
Love!
the BEST look! love it!!
now THIS is more like it. not 100 per cent, but getting there.
This look is def my fav out of everything she’s worn this week! Flawless… FINALLY!
amazing.
AMAZING!!!
she looks fantastic, and i like the gown from this year better than last – the hair i like too, she’s working her image and THIS is what a woman looks like!
She looks pretty. Makeup is nice and she looks more comfortable. I like this the best so far :)
This gown suits her so well compared to the Roberto Cavilli one. IT is also giving her a more slimmer look compared to the previous two gowns worn this time.
But did she forgot to take her jewellery box this time. The studs look the same.
Love the colour of her gown… but don’t you think she looks to conscious of her lips?? Look at her mouth in the last picture!
i nw .. she looks good but her makeup is just blahh
P O U T !!
Ever heard ’bout it ?? That’s wat she’s been doin all these years…
in fact all the female actors do pouting in front of the camera…
Her best look so far, at Cannes!The make up is nice, the cut and color of the gown flatter her and the hair is tolerable!
Now now now….who d hell says she is out of proportion ?? Who says dat she is fat ?? Who says she has build ‘a few xtra pounds’ ??? Its a thumbs up 4m me…. I really like dis avatar of hers….
People should wear what suits them. Lately she hasn’t been doing this but this dress really looks good on her.
I LOVE IT.
She looks great
I agree.
Simple and elegant.
She oozes of confidence.
THIS is how you dress for your body type. just stunning. the hair seems to get smaller and smaller everyday, but still wish it was different.
Best look so far!
Wow!
I actually like Aishwarya’s hair in a ponytail…remember Pink Panther’s premier..
the EYEBROW has been strange then too..c it in first pic…really its Deja Vu in every way…ha ha…
Hallelujah!! She looks gorgeous. The color looks fantastic on her, the gown skims her curves and suits her body type and I think her glow is back. Winner!
i like the dress and the fit. The hair, not so much. she looks better with her hair open, to much hair spray to the front of her hair, I prefer the casual pony tail look.
She looks great! Makeup (yeah I know there will be people finding faults with that!), hair, gown, everything. And yeah she does not look toned but so what???…isn’t Christina Hendricks applauded for her curves? Everyone can’t look toned like Jennifer Aniston (I hope to get there some day though;)
Her clutch reminds me of a saada dosa:D
FANTABULOUS!!! Oh My God! I love her here..her close ups..she just looks ethereal..so sophisticated..so elegant!! PERFECT!
wow…she really looks gud ..perfect (natural) makeup and lovely dress…esp after the previous day debacle
Beautiful- from head to toe!
Not bad…. but whts this series of “puffed” hair style
I really like her look here. The color is perfect, the dress hides the flaws in her figure, the hair+makeup is sophisticated and sexy.
She finally got it right!!
And this is how it’s done! The cut, the colour, the makeup, the hair .. all bang on and flattering her in the best ways. She looks confident, classy, and awesome. And I’m not even an Aish fan.
Aishwarya is lacking something this year…mmmm is she missing AB maybe?…she looks ok.
Wow! So elegant and classy she looks.
Third time’s the charm I guess.
Why is she walking the red carpet every day??
It’s not like she’s starring in any international films.
Hello, she is a global ambassador for L’Oreal a major sponsor of Cannes. Plus she is promoting her movie Raavan. There is a special event for Raavan on Monday – I saw that on Deadline Hollywood.
Mani Ratnam, AR Rahman, Vikram, Abhishek and Aishwarya will be in attendance.
She represents l’oreal and they sponsor the film festival. Personally, Im just happy to see a few Indian faces on the red carpet there (shekar kapoor is part of the jury)
Plus, I dont know what you mean by ‘international films’ but Hindi films show at Cannes too. Raavan is being promoted there
International films? It is an international film festival. That doesn’t mean only English. Chinese, Hindi, Arabic, Spanish, Italian, French… language is not a barrier.
OMG 60 comments within a span of an hour! If this is not called super-mega stardom, I don’t know what is!
She’s hit a hattrick (actually four times if we consider the photocall too). This is one of Ash’s most significant years at Cannes.
I’m hoping to see more of her now since she’s also there to promote Mani Ratnam’s ambitious “Raavan” and even Abhishek is gonna land there in a couple of days. Yayy!
Yeah, Ash always gets the most comments, the girl has a lot of pressure. Super duper stardom for sure, she’s just in a different league like when people compare her to Sonam Kapoor or Frieda Pinto I’m just like omg please they’re all so different.. different leagues (and I’m not talking about looks). Anyways I always usually love Ash’s looks, I think this one is fab as well. This is one of Ash’s more significant years at the festival because she finally had time to stay for more than one event even though she’s always invited for everything. Cannes loves Aishwarya! Woohoo.
this is not sweeping me off my feet. Its really average. Nothing bad about it, nothin great either!!!! She looks nice in that color…nice n easy n comfy :)
meh for me….not bad not great..just usual…btw I wonder if she is sick or something ..her face looks really lack lustre for some reason….
Finally did justice to a dress! She did not do justice to the ellie saab dress! it’s such a beautiful dress would have suited someone with a good figure! Ash so needs to hit the gym!
Oh my god.She is PERFECTLY healthy and curvaceous. Its a good thing that she’s out there giving real woman confidence about their bodies. She needs to wear more figure-flattering clothes, I agree. But she DOES NOT need to lose weight.
Its no wonder women have such terrible body image. It’s not just the media that perpetuates the stereotype that you have to be toned and skinny and slender and all that crap to carry off certain looks and to look good. It’s also the people who actually buy into the stereotype, as can be seen from some of the comments here.
I personally thought she looked divine in the black dress from yesterday. It’s nice to see a woman who looks like she doesn’t always count her calories. And she looks simply gorgeous in this number. the Elie Saab dress i didn’t like because of the design. Too whimsical, and i usually like whimsical.
agreed!
Come on she needs to tone her upper body, it needs definition for all these dresses to look really good. You’re right she needs to wear more figure flattering clothes, time to get a new stylist who really understands body types. Max Azria would be great choice for Ash, he experiments with gorgeous drapes and beautiful colours.
M she is not unhealithily obese and she looks beautiful and elegant when she wears clothes that suit her body type (like here).I think she’s perfectly fine, just refreshingly true to the curvaceous body type of most Indian woman.
hear hear!
sick of the vic beckham types!
This is the best she has looked at Cannes ever! It’s perfect and I do like the pulled back hair, it gives her a mature elegance.
I loved the Armani Prive and I love this as well. She looks gorgoeous.Someone’s definitely having a good year at Cannes (minus the Elie Saab and buoffant debacle)
Compared to prev days,this is her best appreance for me.This shade of pink really brings up her glow.She knows that and never misses to wear it ….
i loveeee her loove this year, classy dress but still got a sexy edge to it, itz perfect for her figure, se luks lush, but i do wish the dress was another colour, as she wore the same shade of pink last year! but over all well done Mrs Bachan! (well her stylists)
Gorgeous color, loving it! It’s a simple, solid look.
She is looking lovely. But there is something really troubling her. She seems to lack her usual energy and glow. Hope she gets her oompph back soon!
fiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinally, a look i can’t fault on any department. FABULOUS.
This one is by far the best so far. I know she and Eva Longoria are there due to Loreal endorsements but is Ash going to be there every single year? Not that I mind but it seems like she’s become a fixture with Cannes festival. So does she have five or seven more days to wow us with that many dresses? I ain’t complaining!! the more the merrier!! looking forward to being wowed again.
I believe Ash will be invited to Cannes even if she is not with Loreal, she’s a guest of the festival not just there for work commitments. I believe she walks the red carpet for Loreal on the opening day but I don’t think it’s for all events. Could be wrong
She looks perfect now….the best so far….
HATTRICK. The rushia dress this year is more purple while the one worn before was more redpink which does not show up in the pic you put up.
Sorry meant to type fushia nor rushia
lol yeah, when I read rushia, I was like “wtf’s that!”
AMAZING!! This is the best this year at Cannes. Great colour, great fit and subtle make-up. It takes off so much weight off her from the last two days.
I still love her best in sarees, but this I will take anyday.
she looks good but oh why must she purse her lips like this all the time?
Frankly, I find her too practiced, too affected. She may be conventionally beautiful-but has no charm or spunk.
I agree about the pulled back hair and the streaks btw.
love this look. Her best so far. Love the back
This is a one of a kind Gucci gown….
Best look so far. Miles ahead of her black and grey appearances.
Yummy :) Love it.
She’s sticking to tried and tested colours. Hot pink Roberto , hot pink repeat, ice blue Elie Saab, light blue Elie Saab repeat again. http://www.highheelconfidential.com/aishwarya-and-abhishek-at-cannes-2009-spring-fever-premiere/
she has clearly filled in from the picture from 2008. but both dresses look good, actually i liked the light blue dress also, gorgeous dress, the hair was a scary mess, just took the eyes off from a really beautiful dress.
i really wish to see a more natural smile from her someday, all those years of modelling does that to you methinks, her smile is rather fake in all pics or rather vain (models are tought that i heard :))
So polished she looks! and the face…dammit!
BEST LOOK till now. She looks ABSOLUTELY STUNNING. I love this woman…she has unmatchable grace. :) WOW man….I can’t stop gushing. What say,haters?
She looks great- for some reason reminds me of a barbie doll.
Oh No! Not again!
ash’s mom was with her when she wore this dress on the red carpet. i thought she looked lovely in her cream sari.
why didn’t she pack a saree?
Because she’s representing L’Oreal there, not India.
Even if she was representing India, it is not a must to wear a saree. Indianness should be from within and not from what one wears on the outside.
Don’t tell me you can make Paris Hilton wear a saree and make her look Indian. Impossible. Because she has no Indian roots. (Again, I’m not telling about the outside).
I dont think we need to be so defensive of our culture that we expect anyone representing India abroad to wear a Sari. There were actresses from all over the world present and most of them (with very few exceptions like Deepika)wore couture gowns which are really the best idea for an event like Cannes (in my opinion)
Loving this look on her. Neat
Oh for a little lip color…
I think this is the best she’s looked this year. The color seems to suit her a lot…for some odd reason, I prefer her in the earlier dress…maybe because she looks younger and fresher there. Overall, she’s looking great.
Ash will wear Sari for the Raavan presentation at Cannes no doubt.
i didnt like the pink dress on her last time it looked cheap
this is the best look this year the dress looks so elegant on aishwarya!
She is Fabulous on the Carpet…..Anywhere…Everywhere
ooh finally a stunning look from ash! she does seem to’ve aged though
2008 dress looks cheap to me. This year’s is gorgeous.
one of a kind, really?
