Aishwarya Rai Makes Dazzling Appearance in Gold at Cannes Film Festival 2014

Bollywood actress Aishwarya Rai finally walked the red carpet at the 67th Cannes Film Festival in Cannes on 20 May.

The appearance was earlier scheduled for 16 May but Aishwarya Rai could not reach the venue due to an air traffic controllers' strike in France.

The A-list actress arrived for the screening of the film Deux jours, une nuit (Two Days, One Night) in competition.

The former Miss World, who has become a regular face at the Cannes Film Festival, took the French Riviera in style as she touched down on the red carpet.

She appeared to be a vision in gold as she wore a golden off shoulder evening gown by Roberto Cavalli to grace the occasion.

Aishwarya Rai completed her look with bold red lipstick and her signature smoky eyes and opted for a voluminous and wavy hairdo that added to her elegant, yet glamorous look.

Aishwarya's slimmest post-pregnancy look

Aishwarya Rai's appearance at Cannes 2014 also seemed to be her slimmest look ever since she gave birth to her daughter Aaradhya in November 2011.

The 40-year-old actress, who has been facing criticism for not having lost pregnancy weight fast, looked stunningly slim in her mermaid-cut patterned gown. Her costume flattered her curvy figure as she sashayed down the red carpet waving to the cheering crowd.

Rai's stunning golden ensemble was themed on the new make-up line L'Or Lumière from L'Oréal Paris, the cosmetic giant of which she is a brand ambassador.

The actress has been attending the Cannes Film Festival since 2002 as the brand's representative. This is her 13th year at Cannes.
