Aishwarya
Rai
Bachchan
dared
to
sport
purple
lips
on
the
red
carpet
of
the
69th
Cannes
Film
Festival
but
she
was
slammed
by
Fashion
critics.
Later,
Aishwarya
clarified
that
it
was
the
decision
taken
by
the
brand
she
represents
at
the
prestigious
function.
But
Sonam
Kapoor
believes
that
Aishwarya
opted
for
this
shade
because
she
wanted
attention,
she
told
PTI,
''The
whole
idea
of
fashion
and
make-up
is
for
people
to
discuss
it
and
I
guess
she
wanted
to
be
discussed.
She
achieved
what
she
wanted
to
achieve
with
it,
which
I
think
is
great.
I
don't
think
she
walked
for
L'Oreal
that
day.
There
was
an
Amul
ad
on
it,
people
were
discussing
it.
I
think
it
was
great
to
do
it
on
a
15th
year,
it's
cool.
She
was
trending
everywhere."

Kapoor
further
added,
"I
have
done
purple
lipstick
in
the
past,
I
have
even
done
black
for
a
shoot...
People
haven't
spoken
about
me!"
When
asked
about
her
white
gown,
which
also
received
criticism,
she
said,
"There
were
just
one
or
two
people
(who
cracked
jokes
on
the
dress)
but
I
think
it
was
my
most
incredible
look.
I
don't
believe
in
taking
anything
personally.
I
dress
for
myself
and
I
felt
beautiful." Interestingly,
the
actress
stuck
to
just
one
designer
brand,
Ralph
&
Russo.
"They
(Michael
and
Tamara)
are
very
good
friends
of
mine.
I
spent
New
Years
with
them.
I
wanted
to
do
something
Indian-inspired
and
they
kind
of
love
India
and
love
me.
That's
why
I
did
jhumkas
and
a
saree-gown,
which
I
think
was
incredible," she
added.
