Aishwarya’s Second Look For Cannes 2025

This was her second appearance at Cannes 2025, and she didn’t disappoint. The gown was a perfect blend of spirituality and high fashion. The cape was handwoven in Varanasi and carried a powerful Sanskrit shloka from the Bhagavad Gita. 

The verse conveys that one should focus on doing their duties sincerely without worrying about the outcome. It reminds us not to act out of desire for rewards or avoid action out of fear. This added a meaningful touch to her look.

For the unversed, the 78th Cannes Film Festival will go on until May 24. It has attracted top stars like Tom Cruise, Angelina Jolie, Janhvi Kapoor, and Karan Johar. Others, including Bella Hadid, Naomi Campbell, Rihanna and Scarlett Johansson have also wowed the red carpet. Alia Bhatt is also expected to make an appearance.
