Troll her all you want, but Aishwarya Rai remains undeterred by the online backlash to her Cannes 2024 day one outfit, describing it as ‘magical’. Styled by Falguni and Shane Peacock, the Bollywood icon continues to reign over the Cannes Film Festival with her distinctive fashion choices.

This year, however, her outfits sparked considerable debate among fans. Many criticized her look as overly flamboyant and not befitting her timeless beauty. Social media platforms like Twitter and Instagram buzzed with negative reviews, labeling her ensemble disappointing. Despite this, Aishwarya stands by her sartorial choice.

Why Was She Trolled?

Aishwarya graced the premiere of Francis Ford Coppola’s Megalopolis in a striking black and gold gown by Falguni and Shane Peacock. The gown featured stiff fabric, puffy white sleeves, and a long cape adorned with velcro-ed golden flowers. The bodice was detailed with golden foil, adding to the dramatic flair. Critics found the outfit bulky and overly dramatic, while Aishwarya deemed it ‘magical’.

Her Response

In a recent interview with Vogue, Aishwarya expressed her affection for the gown, stating, “My dearest friends Shane and Falguni Peacock designed the look I wore last evening on the red carpet.” They call it gilded glow but to me it was just magical.” She also discussed her makeup choices for the evening and emphasized the iconic nature of all women.
