The Cannes Film Festival feels incomplete without the presence of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.

And honestly, the results are spectacular. One such recreated look features the Dhoom queen in a wine red sparkling ballgown styled with statement ruby jewels. Another takes you back to 2017, an off white layered subtle gown with delicate embellishments.
