On Saturday, marking the first day of her 17th year at Cannes Film Festival, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan walked the red carpet in this fantastic butterfly gown of fashion designer Michael Cinco, which had the shades of violet, red and blue threadworks and embellished in Swarovski crystals and French pailettes.

“The 10-foot long train took 3,000 of man-hours to finish and intricately hand crafted to make it this exquisitely flighty and timeless,” read a post on Michael Cinco’s official Instagram page.  The 44-year-old actress opted for Rami Kadi couture for her second red carpet appearance on Sunday. Though she played safe with the couture style, Aishwarya raised the bar with the avant-garde hairdo. Earlier, Aishwarya sported sleek straight hair and sometimes messy curly hairdo on the red carpet.
