Whoever said black is beautiful must have found himself receiving blessings from Bollywood. When it comes to the red carpet, our stars often tend to bank on black. And if it is Cannes Film Festival, it is better to be safe than sorry.

This week, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was spotted on the Cannes red carpet in this gorgeous black dress. While many fashion critics expressed how she could have just been a little more experimental, her look did grab the eyeballs of the foreign press. Victory!

The beauty teamed up the same with matching block heels strap heels. We love the way Ash has worn her hair in lose curls and has finished her look with dark Maroon lips.
