A thinner ASH at Cannes

The 65th International Cannes Film Fetival was Aishwarya Rai's first red carpet outing after the birth of Aaradhya Bachchan and she rocked the red carpet.

Aishwarya was rarely seen after the birth of Aaradhya. She had made very few appearances one at a high profile party at the residence of Nita and Mukesh Ambani, in March this year and the wedding reception of Genelia and Riteish Deshmukh. After which there was an online debate about her post pregnancy weight.

At the Cannes film festival she was to be dressed by Jaya Bachchan's favorite designers Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla. Her first outfit in the French Riviera was a boho-chic maxidress by little known Australian designer Angelo Katsapis. Her second outfit at Cannes was her first by Abu-Sandeep, a cream chikankari sari with an underwhelming jacket that took the place of a sari. Her third outfit was a Roberto Cavalli caftan. And the fourth was the most surprising of the lot - a spangly, dark grey Elie Saab gown.

Aishwarya confirmed that her daughter Aaradhya is accompanying her, but is not there at the event.

On the first day when asked about Aaradhya she said, "It's splendid, it's inescapable...the bliss is just wonderful. A smile from my daughter and thats it."

She added that, "She is good, she is great and she is taking a nap right now. I've actually made her go to sleep and only then it's been easy to come here. It's nap time for her."

On day two she said that, "The baby's here in Cannes, but not with me tonight, she's doing well. I can't complain about being busy with the baby because hectic is always being redefined in my life.It was easy to come tonight because I'm not making any films."

This is Aishwarya's 11th year at the International Cannes Film Festiival as the brand ambassador of L'Oreal brand.
