The Cannes Film Festival this year brought in another striking appearance by Bollywood beauty Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, representing L'Oréal beauty, as she made her first appearance at the festival with the premiere of the Hollywood film "Megalopolis". 

However, this year's roaring applause was louder than usual as she walked down the carpet with an injured hand. She donned a stunning black and gold strapless custom Falguni Shane Peacock couture gown adorned with a sweeping train, dramatic white puff sleeves, and a white cast for her injury. Her gown features hand-beaten molten gold flowers and plates adding hefty weight to the overall look.

She chose an updo with brown highlights instead of her usual sleek hair, complemented by statement gold half-hoop earrings. Fans loved how the chosen hairstyle highlighted her features beautifully.
