Many users trolled Aishwarya for her puffy face and weight, comparing her to Alia. Some pointed out that while Alia has made just a few appearances at Cannes, Aishwarya has been representing the country at the film festival for decades. For her primary appearance, Aishwarya wore a custom-made blue gown by designer Amit Aggarwal.
Her look was accompanied by a stole and diamond jewellery. She was also seen looking stunning in a pastel pink draped ensemble that featured sparkling floral embellishments and flowing cape sleeves. In her last look, the 'Devdas' actress was seen in a white pantsuit, paired with a feather wrap stole. Her look was tied up with minimal makeup and a middle-parted hairstyle. This year marks Aishwarya's 24th appearance at the Cannes Film Festival. Shifting our focus back to Kangana, she will soon be seen as the lead in the upcoming drama Bharat Bhhagya Viddhaata.
