Aishwarya sparkles in green at Cannes

As Aishwarya Rai Bachchan dazzled in an Elie Saab emerald ensemble, the selfie fever gripped the Bollywood actress when she bumped into her friend and Hollywood actress Eva Longoria at the 68th 

Cannes International Film Festival here.

The actress, who is attending the film festival as a L’Oréal Paris ambassador, looked resplendent as she completed her look with a matching emerald liner and sported a fusion of brown and ivory eyeshadow. 

Her hair also complemented the look in loose waves that fell over her shoulders making a soft and subtle statement at the red carpet. Talking of her co-ambassador, Aishwarya reminisced about the time they spent together at the film gala. “Eva and I became friends in Cannes, L’Oréal Paris brought us together. Cannes is the queen of all festivals and there is an incredible surge of energy that thrives here,” Aishwarya, 41, said in a statement. They took a selfie to cherish their red carpet moment on Sunday. With soft tones of pink on her cheeks, Aishwarya added a dash of edgy glamour to her look with a bold wine colour on her lips. 

Actress Sonam Kapoor launched Michelin star chef Vikas Khanna’s book titled Utsav - A culinary epic of Indian festivals here. Unveiled on Sunday during the 68th Cannes International Film Festival, the book is on cuisines for festivals and rituals of Indian communities. Before the launch, Sonam had tweeted: “Pl join me as we celebrate India with #UtsavatCannes with @thevikaskhanna today.
