Miss Indias at Cannes: Sonam, Vidya, Freida, Mallika

Bollywood made its presence felt at the screening of the film The Great Gatsby which opened the 66th edition of the Cannes Film Festival in Cannes.

Sonam Kapoor took Cannes by storm in a white lace Anamika Khanna sari worn with a golden and white blouse and a trailing baroque-effect jacket. She added a bonus bauble – an outsized nosering. Applause.

Vidya Balan was the centre of attention in black, white and gold Sabyasachi, effectively stealing the spotlight from fellow jury-members Nicole Kidman, Christoph Waltz and Ang Lee.

Freida Pinto looked stunning in a Gucci coral silk chiffon halter gown with a gold-embellished belt.

Mallika Sherawat flashed cleavage in a relatively-modest figure-hugging gold dress.

Earlier in the day, Vidya Balan was pure perfection in this white and gold sari with a full-sleeved embellished black blouse by designer Sabyasachi. She completed her look with a silver neck-piece, ear-rings and a watch.

Cannes album: From left to right, the cast of The Great Gatsby - actor Tobey Maguire, director Baz Luhrmann, British actress Carey Mulligan, Leonardo DiCaprio and the great Big B who opened the festival with an address in Hindi.

Big B plays Meyer Wolfsheim, a shady Jew and mentor to Leonardo's character Jay Gatsby, in the movie. It is his first Hollywood role.

Jury member Nicole Kidman looked spectacular in an off-shoulder Dior couture gown.

Julianne Moore looked pretty in strapless Christian Dior with a lavender organza skirt.

Model Cindy Crawford looked smashing in a deep cut clinging white gown which showed off her curves to perfection.

The Great Gatsby star Isla Fisher looked lovely in a flowing red full length gown.

The Great Gatsby actor Joel Edgerton seemed to be in the mood for some mischief.

Elizabeth Debicki, who also stars in the movie, was all smiles on the occasion.
