As the first looks from the Cannes red carpet pour in, catch a glimpse of a few memorable looks worn by Bollywood celebrities over the years. 

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The star of Rai Bachchan's 2017 Cannes red carpet appearance, was her icy blue Michael Cinco gown. Featuring an all delicate embroidery and sculpted-to-perfection pleats, the ethereal ensemble was the perfect blend of elegance and theatricality.

Katrina Kaif

Katrina Kaif graced the 2015 Cannes red carpet in a striking red head-to-toe—a scarlet Elie Saab gown to go with her sleek, center-parted auburn locks. A noteworthy look that made us all stop and stare.

Priyanka Chopra

For her Cannes 2019 look, Priyanka Chopra took a more classic approach to red-carpet dressing in a dramatic strapless tulle gown by Georges Hobeika that scored high on drama. The actor accentuated her look with a pair of diamond drop earrings and necklace, both by Chopard that not only highlighted her shoulders but also perfectly fell in line with her strapless ensemble.

Sonam Kapoor

Dressed in a stark white, silk crepe tailleur with a dramatic overskirt, complete with a two-meter-long train, Sonam Kapoor’s outfit for Cannes 2019 red carpet brought together the best of both worlds. The winning addition? A multi-layered emerald and diamond choker necklace that enhanced the blazer’s plunging décolletage.

Diana Penty 

Diana Penty pulled all the stops at the 2019 Cannes film festival in a larger-than-life strapless number by Nedret Taciroglu. The nude embellishments and feather work added much-needed drama to her ensemble. She kept her accessories to a minimum with dainty diamond earrings that were a cherry on the top of a noteworthy red carpet look. 

Kangana Ranaut

Kangana Ranaut looked every bit of a dream dressed in gorgeous Michael Cinco couture as she posed on the Cannes 2019 red carpet. The delicately embroidered creation bore a long trail that made her princess moment come to life. 

Huma Qureshi 

Huma Qureshi hit the 2019 Cannes red carpet in a gorgeous grey layered ruffled gown by Gaurav Gupta that featured a red-carpet mandatory long trail. The exaggerated silhouette was dramatic, to say the least. She finished off her look with soft nude makeup with loads of highlighter to keep things fresh and glowy.
