Aishwarya is never afraid to take a risk, and 2023 was proof. She stepped out in a hooded Sophie Couture gown that was sculptural and bold. Some people loved it, some were unsure, but nobody could ignore it. That is the thing about her red carpet looks. They always start a conversation.

5. Cannes 2025: A White Saree With Sindoor

Last year, she chose a white saree by Manish Malhotra and finished the look with sindoor. On a carpet full of gowns, it stood out for its simplicity. The sindoor, in particular, got a lot of attention online and became the highlight of the appearance.
