Ash vs Sonam: Cannes fashion face-off
Which actress dressed the best at Cannes
-
Embracing the nine yards: In 2012, Aishwarya had the unenviable job of debuting her plus-size post-baby curves at Cannes. Among her outfits was a a cream chikankari sari and a jacket-style blouse by Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla. On her first visit to Cannes in 2011, Sonam Kapoor was chic and trendy in a polka dot sari by Masaba, worn with a full sleeve blouse.
-
Winsome white: In 2011, Sonam Kapoor made a stunning Cannes debut in vintage Jean Paul Gaultier couture, a monochrome dream. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's lovely smile and husband Abhishek were the perfect accessories for her pristine white Giorgio Armani dress and sparkling diamonds in 2007.
-
Black magic divas: Sonam Kapoor began her second year at the Cannes Film Festival 2012 in a diaphanous Gucci gown at the Gucci party, the year 2010 witnessed one of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's best red carpet appearances when she impressed in a strapless Armani Prive embellished black gown.
-
Snow white: Sonam chose another white dress in 2011, wearing a billowy number from The Row which all but swamped her slender frame to the 2011 Chopard party. Ash started the 2009 fashion parade at Cannes in a floor-sweeping white princess-y Roberto Cavalli number with fitted bodice and a full, layered skirt.
-
Moody blues: Sonam Kapoor revealed her fashion versatility in 2011 and oozed style in a navy blue Vivienne Westwood dress for a L'Oreal photoshoot. In 2006, Aishwarya stunned in a navy blue figure hugging Elie Saab gown with a statement neck-piece and wispy loose curls.
-
Black shadows: In 2012, Sonam went all out in her only red carpet dress for the year – an elaborate Alexander McQueen tulle dress with a loose updao and fire engine red lips. In 2005, the usually demure Aishwarya took a style risk in a Gucci dress with a plunging neck and sheer mid-section.
-
Free falling: Black and white has been a favourite choice for Sonam at Cannes and yet again, in 2012, Sonam showed off her fashion chops in a monochrome print gown by designer Naeem Khan at the L'Oréal/Chopard party. Ditching the conservative blacks and greys, Ash opted for a magenta ruched chiffon Gucci gown for the Cannes red carpet in 2010.
