The
much
awaited
Cannes
Film
Festival
2010
started
off
with
a
bang
on
13th
May.
Bollywood
beauty
Aishwarya
Bachchan
walked
down
the
red
carpet
that
night
at
the
premiere
of
the
highly
anticipated
film,
Robin
Hood,
starring
Russell
Crowe
and
Cate
Blanchett.
She
was
joined
by
Eva
Longoria,
who,
like
her,
is
an
ambassador
for
L"Oreal.
Aishwarya,
who
has
been
attending
this
international
film
festival
since
her
film
Devdas
was
screened
there
in
2002,
walked
in
wearing
a
tailed
lavender
gown
from
Lebanese
designer,
Elie
Saab"s
Spring
collection.
The
dress
was
fully
embroidered,
and
she
looked
elegant
in
it.
To
add
to
the
beauty
of
the
dress
she
had
round
solitaires
and
sported
a
buffon
hairstyle
to
complete
the
look.
Yet,
the
36
year
old
actress" outfit
drew
mixed
reactions
from
the
designers
across
the
board.
The
former
Miss
World
has
always
faced
criticism
for
her
dressing
sense
on
the
red
carpet.
While
some
of
the
designers
think
that
Ash
got
it
right
this
time,
some
are
of
the
opinion
that
she
could
have
done
much
better
had
she
worn
a
saree,
as
they
feel
she
carries
them
off
much
better.
Renowned
fashion
designer
Ritu
Kumar
thinks
that
the
dress
was
too
voluminous
and
it
made
the
suave
actress
look
squat
and
big.
On
the
other
hand,
designer
Vijay
Arora
feels
that
she
looked
absolutely
ravishing
and
that
the
colour
of
the
gown
suited
her
just
right.
The
dress
did
manage
to
get
Aishwarya,
if
not
everyone"s,
a
few
people"s
approval,
but
it
remains
to
be
seen
whether
she
can
get
on
the
Red
Carpet's
Best
Dressed
List
with
this
one.
