After her jaw-dropping Cannes Day 1 look, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan left fans swooning with her second outfit at the prestigious event. For her second dramatic second appearance, the global icon channelled old-school Hollywood charm in a black sequinned strapless gown.
For her latest appearance, the ‘Guru’ actor embraced classic Hollywood glamour in a strapless black sequinned Gaurav Gupta creation, paired with an oversized silver-beige textured cape. The gown is hand-embroidered with an abstract rendition of the cosmos in bursts of silver, gold, charcoal, and black, accented with micro glass crystals to capture dimension and light.

While her striking looks have always been a talking point, the actor’s cape stole attention with a Sanskrit ‘shlok’ from the Bhagavad Gita inscribed on it. “You have a right to perform your actions, but not to the fruits of those actions. Let not the fruits of action be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction,” the ‘shlok’ translated from Sanskrit read.
Other than her looks, the actor’s video walking hand-in-hand with her daughter has also gone viral. Aaradhya and Aishwarya twinned in black as they made their way outside the hotel amid much fanfare.

While Aishwarya’s first red carpet appearance at Cannes 2025 stirred buzz over her sindoor, seen by many as a symbolic nod to India’s stand against terrorism, her latest look feels like a heartfelt tribute to her heritage and homeland.
