The duo twinned in stylish black outfits for the return trip. Aishwarya wore a sleek black top, matching tights, and a long coat, while Aaradhya opted for a black top, blue denim jeans, and a black coat. Their coordinated outfits reflected a chic yet comfortable travel look.
Making a Mark at Cannes Once Again
A regular presence at the prestigious Cannes Film Festival for over two decades, Aishwarya Rai once again turned heads with her two standout red carpet appearances in 2025.
For her first look, she embraced traditional Indian elegance in an ivory handloom Banarasi saree. The saree featured a dramatic long pallu draped over one shoulder and a delicate lace train on the other. She completed the ensemble with a bold ruby layered necklace and the traditional sindoor adorning her forehead. This appearance preceded the premiere of Oliver Hermanus’ historical drama The History of Sound.

On day two, Aishwarya opted for a more contemporary and bold fashion choice. She wore a dramatic black shimmer gown designed by Gaurav Gupta, which featured an oversized white cape that added a striking contrast to her look. The couture ensemble reaffirmed her position as a timeless fashion icon on the international stage.
Awaiting Her Next Screen Appearance
Aishwarya Rai’s last film appearance was in Mani Ratnam’s Ponniyin Selvan: II (2023), where she played a pivotal role. Despite the ongoing speculation about her next cinematic venture, the actor has yet to officially announce a new project. For now, her Cannes appearance and heartfelt homecoming continue to win hearts across the globe.
