Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Elie Saab Spring 2013 Couture

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made her first Cannes red carpet appearance last night at the premiere of the Justin Timberlake-starrer Inside Llewyn Davis, in a gown with sequined black guipure lace applications, from Elie Saab’s Spring 2013 Couture collection. I’m not too crazy about the gown but gotta say that she looks smashing. In fact, I don’t remember her looking this good and confident in a long while! Just wish she had gone for an updo and some pop of colour by way of the box clutch or jewellery. Agree with me, y’all?

P.S. Close-up of the gown + more red carpet pics inside 🙂
