Cannes 2016
One of the most sought-after and photographed celebrities at Cannes red carpet, Aishwarya surprised and shocked everyone when she showed up with a dash of purple on her lips. Although her Rami Kadi gown was beautiful, it was her lips that grabbed all the attention and even made headlines.
Apart from this controversial appearance, here are the other outfits that Aishwarya donned at Cannes 2016.
Cannes 2015
Mauve, maroon, white and emerald green, Aishwarya tried and tested a lot of different looks this particular year. On one hand while she looked like a diva in the white Ralph and Russo couture gown, on the other she stunned in a maroon strapless outfit by Oscar de la Renta.
For two of her other red carpet appearance the same year, Aishwarya opted for a teal and lavender Elie Saab gown.
Cannes 2014
Aishwarya dazzled in a golden off shoulder evening gown by Roberto Cavalli. While she opted for minimal accessories, only rings so to mention, her perfect makeup, especially the dash of red on her lips accentuated her look. Her voluminous and wavy hairdo added the much needed glamour to her look.

The gorgeous actress sported several different looks during Cannes 2013, but among them the one look that made news was the black and grey beaded Elie Saab couture gown.
