In Elie Saab
As part of her brand ambassador duties, Ms. Rai attended the 163 Prix de Diane Longines race in Chantilly, France today. The actress paired a peach Elie Saab dress with a sequined loose jacket (also by Saab).
As exquisite as the jacket is, I wish that Ash had paired it with a more fitted dress than a flared one. The combo makes her look so much bigger than she actually is. The color, though, looks beautiful on her.

I think she looks great. The dress fitted or not, the color is just fabulous on her, hair and like the hat!!!
There is something abt this look that is actually making me stop and appreciate her beauty!! I mean most of the time when I see her pic on HHC I take it for granted that she has a beautiful face and my attention is grabbed by either something that she is wearing or her hair color etc.
This time, her face stands out !! Maybe because the color is suiting her?
Maybe she looks really comfortable in that dress?
Maybe no redcarpet pose?
Maybe she is well rested & relaxed?
Or
Maybe I finally got over my jealousy and accepted the
fact that I am not going to be called the world’s most
beautiful woman (No, not even by DH… His vote goes to Ash…)
:D
Desimom : Soo liking ur comment….Am with you on this! She looks so regal and lovely in the last pic
Thank you Desimon! When it comes to Ash, I always feel that it’s more a case of jealously than anything else… I am not a big fan, i dont agree with many of her clothing choices, infact her jacket here is huge, but I wont deny the fact that the color looks fabulous on her, the hair, makeup and the hat look great and she looks relaxed. ( if I were her,I would be saddened by the fact that so many women choose to make the most irrational, unkind, vitriolous comments on her clothing choices…no breaks for her:))
shes lukin chic!!!
she looks lovely. Love her
Get this woman a stylist. Right now!
Can’t agree with you more!she is just drowning in that attire..and she poses really awkwardly..at Cannes n here! She does such a deservice to herself. A huge dislike:(
lol yeah she really needs a stylist and look at her greasy makeup..too much being put on that face unnecessarily!!
she looks beautiful neck up
agree with the fitting of the dress..also feel that the makeup was a case of match-much.
Eeeeks. The outfit is making her look so..round. Not flattering at all. Neck up she looks lovely, as always :)
she looks so ethereal. love the hat
though the color looks nice, the hat should have been different color say white or rose pink, to breakup the all peach look.
The whole look is very similar to what Fan Bing Bing wore at Elie Saab Fall 2011.
(The makeup & blush somehow reminds me of a ‘jokers’ makeup :-) )
yikes.
hat is nice. but big hat plus big dress , plus shiny jacket, and heavy makeup like that for the racetracks is really over the top. her style reminds me of an italian granny going to a wedding reception.
going with the italian theme, that dress should be swimming with the fishes…..
LOL!
So true. The dress and the make-up couldn’t have been worse. They instantly add 40 years to her. I can’t believe she stepped out looking like this. Yikes.
My thoughts exactly ..The big hat for already big dress…she has no clue abt dressing up…
hahaha…totally agree! :)
im feel the same too…
hahaha no comment!!!
the makeup’s not that heavy, she looks good… could
have been better
i wish she had worn the jacket with a fitted pista green dress
LOL!! I couldnt stop laughing. This look is just hilarious
Hahahahaha LMAO………. Abhilasha you are so true !!!
i agree about the fit (pregnant perhaps?). the hat is so lovely, but she’s not owning the look. it’s like the hat is wearing her and not the other way around.
her face on the other hand is a whole different story. so ethereal and beautiful!
She’s nailed it. So gorgeous. So ethereal. Lovely. I simply love the colour on her. Don’t think it makes her look big. She has a beautiful, healthy body. She isn’t the skinny type. Thank god for that.
YUCK! She needs a new stylist, a new make-up person, a new everything!!
Grandma.
Neck up beautiful. Color is amazing but goddang. Def Italian granny going to a wedding reception lol that comment is spot on.
the jacket is indeed beautiful…for my 64 year old grandmother. this reminds me of the time lara dutta looked like mother teresa during her wedding day.
i mean you are rich enough to own a mirror…use it.
not flattering at all! disappointing!
wow! she looks so beautiful and regal. love the color combo and that hat especially
cn she look ths bad..
everything’s goin wrong here.. cnt she select a nice dress for herself.. wasting her curves inside the JHOLA..
Color looks great on her e..though its matchy-much for me…dress shoes ,makeup..everythig same color.
She is looking too mature and big.
Mother of the bride?
exactly what i thought!!
@dips – you nailed it! Lol!
You said it!!! That was the first thought in my head
That’s exactly what I was thinking!!
the entire look is too matronly (save for the footwear) for someone her age. the saving grace is that fabulous face, should have gone easy on the blusher, though. she looks as if she is expecting!
i like the hat on her but the look is too peachy for me.
WTF is this? She looks like mother of the bride!
This woman has no style! this is so frumpy….
Way to ruin Elie Saab.
She needs a stylist.
And a hair stylist. :\
It is better for aishwarya and elie saab part ways, ash is not doing justice to his collection.
Well said.
the latest in granny chic lol
Well I agree it’s a terrible look.Cheers all ash haters.you’ve now got a valid reason to tear her to pieces.
I like her look. More importantly I admire her for the fact that she doesn’t feel the pressure to look and be skinny. Its time women are encouraged to be what size they want to be rather than only skinny. And to get a famous celebrity endorse it proudly is I think truly admirable.
if she does not feel the pressure to be skinny.. why the cross legged pose, the holding arm pose..?
I love Ash…but did not like the dress, the color or the halo hat
Aaargh so mother-of-the-bride…
My thoughts exactly
More like granny of the bride!
She looks frumpy! Even though the colour is lovely…. nothing else is working for her.
the dress is beautiful but i think someone like sonal kapoor,whos very skinny,can carry it off well…aish needs a stylist and some one to do her hair…
i meant sonam kapoor!!!(the previous comment)
shes dressed like barbara cartland! So ageing and frumpy on her, she could do so much better.
Unless she is pregnant, she has NO excuse for looking like that. You guys are way too nice in judging her, but are unfairly biased against Kareena (who defi has a better style quotient)
little boo peep has lost her sheep … and her sense of style!
still love her tho, which why so disappointed!
ummm… so i take it she isnt goin to be the “i-am50-and-still-so hot” kinda woman. Pretty and all, but is it me or does she look old/tired/plump even? she is aging gracefully yes.. BUT SHE IS ALSO ONLY 37! Why does she look like she’s given up!? all she shld give up thou is her stylist. For a woman this beautiful… gaah!
Queen Victoria anyone!
Come on she never came across as sum1 wit a great fashion sense.
that dress is too voluminous for her. she’s swimming around in it. she has such an amazingly beautiful face. i just hate that colour she’s wearing. it’s so bland.
Ellie Saab + Ash should translate into something mindblowing. This is the exact opposite. I want to take her hands and pin them to the sides. The hat does nothing for her.
don’t think this look suits her………. I guess Longines & Loreal has put Aishwarya on the world stage and it has done her good eh! Well I think she’s dynamic away, she deserves all the accolades she’s amassed.
She looks terribly matronly and looks very uncomfortable wearing the hat.
She looks very conscious which is not a good thing..you have to own the style and rock it in place of looking like you are dressed for a fancy dress competition.
Plus the blush on her cheek makes her look more cherubic than usual and she looks like late 40s..
Tsk tsk, someday she’ll get it right
Right now she’s getting away only becauser she’s naturally blessed with good looks
looks like she has taken style tips from the Queen .. :P
and what’s with the funny pose in the first 2 pics….
Ash chose a good colour, but overall the outfit has added years as well as pounds. OTT blush on her cheeks as well. I wish someone would help her with her wardrobe.
Why is she dressed up like the ” Queen Mother”!!!! The whole attire looks cumbersome on her inluding the garrishly huge hat.
Love her or hate her, you just can’t ignore her. I love it when you post Ash related posts because then we have so many comments. She seems to evoke strong reactions among us readers. My verdict is for “mother of the bride”. She looks like Queen Elizabeth.
She looks dated. Period. And the makeup! She needs a new stylist and makeup artist.
poor lady. is this her idea of french fashion? how terrible.
eeeewwwww!!!!! not like not like not like!
she looks like an overgrown 5-year-old at her birthday party.
why do the most beautiful women have the worst stylists??
Because they dont have to try too hard
did she put her makeup on with a trowel?
i love the colour on her though, better than her last Elie Saab at the Cannes fest.
well the hat kills the dress for me..she reminds of the heroines in mid 80s with matching dress and hat..she could have opted for a more chic fascinator..but she’s a beautiful woman..
Now we all know why she wore this ill-fitting dress :)!
she is soo preggars :) pretty mommy !
