After actresses Deepika Padukone and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan,
Sonam Kapoor is all set to take over the Cannes Film Festival. Sonam, who flew out of Mumbai on Friday night, has checked into Cannes a few hours ago. "Aaaand we're here!!! #Cannes17," the 31-year-old actress captioned her post along with a picture of herself. Sonam is accompanied by her sister Rhea Kapoor, who styles Sonam for her public appearances. The
Neerja actress is expected to walk the red carpet on Sunday and her final appearance will be on Monday.
Deepika, Aishwarya and Sonam are representing the cosmetic giant L'Oreal at Cannes. Here's how Sonam arrived at the French Reviera.
Of her Cannes preparation, Sonam earlier told news agency PTI, "This year, since we are busy doing so many other things, I have not prepared much for Cannes. Usually, my sister Rhea styles me and she is busy making the film
Veere Di Wedding. I was busy shooting for two films and promoting our fashion brand Rheson. We decided not to put any pressure on ourselves and just have a good time. So we don't think about it much. It's not about the status quo of being on the red carpet."

A couple of days ago, Sonam, who has been a part of Cannes for over six years now, shared some throwback pictures from her last year's red carpet appearance.
Meanwhile, Deepika and
Aishwarya both managed to steal the spotlight with their stunning red carpet looks. Deepika is done with her Cannes duties while Aishwarya is all set to make her second red carpet appearance today.
Actresses Mallika Sherawat, Nandita Das, Amy Jackson, Shruti Haasan and music composer A R Rahman also made individual appearances at the 70th edition of Cannes Film Festival.
