Queen Aishwarya Rai Bachchan won the Cannes Film Festival 2025 with the exquisite Manish Malhotra saree look, and our hearts are happy. The actress showed up and did not disappoint.

Her look took us back to her previous Cannes saree, where she looked like a queen!
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan At Cannes
On Wednesday, May 22, paparazzi pictures of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan showed up on our Instagram feeds and left us stunned. The actor looked radiant in a white saree by Manish Malhotra with a long pallu on her left side, and a flowing train on the left. But it wasn’t just any saree, it originated from the handlooms of Varanasi with real gold and zardozi embroidery. Styled by Allia Al Rufai, her jewellery featured 500 carats of Mozambique rubies and uncut diamonds set in 18k gold and ruby statement rings.
This felt like a complete circle moment to when she made her Cannes Film Festival debut in 2002 with Shah Rukh Khan. She wore the iconic golden Neeta Lulla saree for the premiere of their film Devdas. This year marked her 22nd red carpet, which is simply iconic. She looked like a complete queen back then, and even more radiant and apologetic now. The namaste and flying kisses to the cameras just added to her stardom.
