Aishwarya Rai Bachchan turns heads in her second look at Cannes 2026, opts for dreamy pink ensemble
Mumbai, May 23
Bollywood megastar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan seems to be making headlines from the Cannes Film Festival 2026, for her soft glam pastel look.
Pictures and videos of the actress posing against the breathtaking backdrop of the French Riviera have gone viral on social media.
In the latest visuals going viral online, Aishwarya looked stunning in a pastel pink draped ensemble that featured sparkling floral embellishments and flowing cape sleeves.
For the hairstyle and makeup, she kept her signature voluminous soft curls intact, and opted for a glossy makeup and statement jewellery.
For the first look at Cannes 2026, the actress walked the red carpet in a dramatic royal blue bodycon couture gown. The outfit featured structured detailing around the shoulders and shimmering embellishments throughout it.
Aishwarya had styled with minimal accessories.
On Thursday night, Aishwarya along with daughter Aaradhya Bachchan was spotted leaving for the Cannes Film Festival from Mumbai International Airport.
Both the mother and daughter duo twinned in all-black ensembles as they made their way to the French Riviera.
Despite being in a rush, Aishwarya was seen taking a moment to interact with a young fan waiting outside the airport and even obliged when the little boy requested a picture.
For the uninitiated, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has had a long-standing association with Cannes.
She made her debut at Cannes in 2002 for Devdas along with Shah Rukh Khan and Sanjay Leela Bhansali.
On the movie front, over the years, she has delivered many iconic films including Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam, Devdas, Jodhaa Akbar, Guru, Dhoom 2 and Ponniyin Selvan.

Ash is the queen of Cannes! But I think the blue gown for her first look was even more stunning—the royal blue really brought out her elegance. Still, she owns every look with grace. Aaradhya also looked adorable in their matching black airport outfits! 💙🌸
Honestly, I appreciate her glam but I wish she'd experiment more with colors. Pastel pink is nice but feels overdone at Cannes. Still, she's a legend and carries herself beautifully. Also, her interaction with the young fan shows she's down to earth despite the fame.
Aishwarya is ageless! She's been going to Cannes for over two decades and still looks as fresh as she did in Devdas. The pink outfit with those sparkling embellishments is pure magic. She truly represents India with elegance on the global stage. 🫶🇮🇳
I miss her bold looks from the early 2000s—remember her iconic red saree? But this pink ensemble is very soft and romantic. The Cape sleeves are a nice touch. Honestly, Bollywood should take notes on how to represent India without being over-the-top. Simple elegance works!
