Cannes 2014 : Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Makes it Worth the Wait in Goddess Gold

The delayed flight to Nice, the missed red carpet appearance – it’s all good now. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan showed up belatedly in Cannes but she couldn’t have looked better. (See Pics)

On the red carpet of the screening of the film Two Days, One Night, Ash made a breathtaking entrance in a stunning Roberto Cavalli gold gown with a long train. The glittering patterned dress set off her porcelain skin and hourglass figure.

Wisely, Ash kept accessories simple. Red lips and cascading hair finished a perfect look. We’ll give her 10 on 10.

Just yesterday, actress Sonam Kapoor outshone a carpet-ful of fabulous dresses in a gauzy, pale pink cloud of Anamika Khanna. But if Sonam has a rep to protect, so does Ash as India’s most enduring and glamorous celebrity at Cannes – this is her 12th year there.

The actress has certainly set the bar high for all her future appearances. Besides a red carpet event tomorrow, the L’Oreal Paris ambassador will also co-host the amfAR Gala with husband Abhishek Bachchan.
