Cannes: Aishwarya Rai serves high drama in stunning feathered pantsuit
What's the story
The 79th Cannes Film Festival, which kicked off on May 12 and wrapped up on May 23, was a grand affair filled with memorable red-carpet walks and celebrated film screenings. At the closing ceremony, Bollywood superstar Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was the star attraction. The actor turned heads in an all-white feathered power suit designed by Cheney Chan, looking drop-dead gorgeous in the dramatic ensemble.
Outfit details
Her hair and makeup further highlighted her bold look
The actor's outfit was a white pantsuit with bejeweled lapels, lace detailing on the trousers, and a feather boa draped over her shoulders. The look was elevated by an asymmetrical white top with lace at the end that fell beautifully on one side, matching the lace on her trousers. Her hair was styled in messy waves with a center parting for an effortless look.
