Cannes 2025: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan flaunts sindoor, shines in an ivory saree

The former Miss World was the epitome of subtle elegance in her exquisitely embroidered ivory gown, which she accessorised with simple jewellery and immaculate makeup.

As per Diet Sabya, the actress is wearing a saree designed by Manish Malhotra.

The vermilion in her hair parting provoked discussion due to its potent cultural resonance, while her gentle waves delicately framed her face. She was praised by both fans and fashion critics for respecting Indian customs at a global event that honours international fashion and cinema.

The ivory sarree is a hand woven banarasi saree as per reports. 

Though she has experimented with bold gowns and avant-garde fashion in previous years, Aishwarya’s 2025 look stood out for its simplicity and cultural depth. Her ivory saree, reportedly designed by a leading Indian couturier, featured delicate floral embroidery and was styled with elegance and confidence.

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan has long been a Cannes favourite—not just for her fashion-forward choices but also for the dignity and grace with which she represents Indian cinema on the world stage. Over the years, she has attended the festival in various capacities—as a brand ambassador, actress, and jury member—and each time, she has carried her heritage with pride.
