Ditto!
Yet another Ditto occurred at the Cannes festival when South Korean actress Bae Doo-Na made an appearance in the same red Christian Dior gown worn also by Aishwarya at the 2008 IIFA awards.
Got a favorite between the two?

Aishwarya wins this hands down! I adore the other woman’s clutch though…stunning!
I think the dress fits Bae Doo-Na way better and the orange clutch she is carrying also is better put together than the one Aishwarya has….So Yay for Bae Doo-Na..
P&P, you should post the picture of Ex Miss India Parvathy Omanakuttam at Cannes.
Ash overall looks way more gorgeous, but I’ve got to say, Bae’s fits her a lot better than Ash’s does!!!!
Aishwarya, I like ARBs hair and make up better and it could be the lights, but her dress looks like it got some good steam treatment, Doo-nas dress looks crushed.
Why does it look to me that the material/ color of the dress on the other lady is slightly different?
I think both look equally good .. teh dress fits the other lady better, but Ash’s face here more than makes up for it.
lol, they have the same posture problems (WHAT HAPPENED ASH!?)
Aish.. I like her hair and makeup. I love the orange clutch though.. but have seen it a lot around lately
Main hoon na looks MUCH better. Well, except her hair style…
no! I absolutely despise this dress. It’s so unflattering and unshapely… doesn’t do justice to the gorgeous ladies now does it?
bae look is wayyyy better than ash
This gown is unflattering on everyone.
I think Ash wins this oen
Yea i agree on the fitting part…
But ASH ASH ASH wins hands down
The gown suits bae better, Ash is looking a bit frumpy in it here.
na dnt llike it on ash as its a bit ill-fitting on her…. i guess it was best worn my Msr.SARKOZY on vanityfair mags.. if u get the pics it would be gr8 it the same dress!
just goes to show that this dress looks better on a less voluptious body. Bae Doo-Na wins and yes her orange clutch looks better too.
I agree, the fitting is far better on Bae. What ruins Aish’s look, besides the bad fitting, is that horrible mullet hairstyle. She should stay away from styles that flatten the sides of her head and put volume on the top (e.g. PP2 NYC premiere) – it makes her look like a bird or turtle.
Aishwarya all the way! the gown looks so much better on her. the other chick doesnt even come close!
this gown doesn’t suit either woman.
Aishwarya looks really pretty..but like someone said..the dress fits Bae Doo-Na way better..and her clutch completes the look.
Pri’s comment- ditto!
Bae’s clutch is Dior too! and how i <3 that clutch. *sighs*
aishwarya looks way too better than bae………
I see a BABY BUMP
SHE IS PREGNANT that is why she is wearing all these lose around the belly gowns, I swear she is pregnant and you heard it from me first
Bae Doo-Na … hands down winner … her figure is just apt for this dress.
This gown is very popular. I saw Ruheen Jaiswal in last year’s Top 50 Stylish List by Elle Mag in it aswell+ some other lady.
Could P&P post all the images-would be fun to see.
For this one I will have to go for Ash.
On a side note I should mention that Bae Doo Na is an amazing actress. Her acting is natural and flawless. Only if Ash could act…….
there is something not right with the dress…maybe it’s the fit or the way it falls. don’t like it.
I would have gone with the Korean actress untill I saw the Red shoes…
Definitely the orange clutch is in our Lust-list but, Red pumps with this dress?? nay…..
Sorry aish, I’m gonna have to go with Bae Doo-Na. I agree, the dress fits better on her, her short hair looks fabulous and the clutch is reallllly cute.
I think aish also looks equally beautiful BUT the dress is completely wrong for her body, I don’t think it flatters her :( Also, I think she looks better with her hair up..and a little darker
Ash looks stunning, but a bit curvier than what would be apt for this dress. I think the dress fits Bae far better, and of course the clutch is gorgeous!!
aish looks way better! she has the right curves for the dress!
Ashwarya looks gorgeous here ..Red color is suiting her so well..and her make up is good…Bae Doo look little bit simple in comparison
I think it looks much nicer on Doo na – only because it fits her better. Ash looks like she is leaking out of the dress…
Wow – is that a dior mosaic clutch in orange?! nice!
Yeah P&P, I was surprised tht Parvathy Omanakuttam was at Cannes? why? is she in some film..? but yeah u shud post pics of her dress.
the dress isn’t flattering on either of them but aish’s her was so atrocious that i’ll pick bae doo-na.
didn’t sonam also wore this dress in a different colour, i think it fitted her better
Neither. This is a very dowdy dress.
Aishwarya wins this HANDS DOWN!
this dress is so unflattering and ill-fitted. I dont think it looks good on either women who happen to be georgeous.
I will go with Baa Doo Na just for the accesories!
It is the dress.Often we criticize the wearer, but the hang of this dress is inelegant. I like the color, and on paper, the dress might sing, but the ruches, the pleats all offer an illusory sag. Btn the 2 ladies, ash is ash.the dress is not doing justice to either.
I guess the dress is just unflattering on anyone who wears it!!!!
Bae Doo-Na pulls the dress off better. Her hair & clutch are fab!!
This dress does not look nice on Aish. Although she has put on some weight she is by no means fat – but this dress makes her look as though she is.
Ash looks like a mermaid in the red dress…and that’s not a compliment in any way.
I just HATE this dress.
Blah this dress is just so poorly thought out and clearly trying to be feminine-arty or whatever but it fails terribly. However, I think Bae is absolutely lovely in this because of her own understate elegance she brings to it in comparison to the machine Ash probably gets put though before she hits the red carpets.
ash’s tummy looks puffy in it. and it fits the other one better.
@ me:
lolllllll this pic is from last year’s iifa! if she were pregnant, she would have a one year old child by now! how can ppl ‘swear’ about these things?? its hillarious!
