Miss World COUTURE: Aishwarya Rai Bachchan--66th Annual Cannes Film Festival "Inside Llewyn Davis" Premiere
"Inside Llewyn Davis" is an upcoming American drama film written and directed by Joel and Ethan Coen. The film stars Oscar Isaac, Carey Mulligan, and Justin Timberlake and tells the story of a singer-songwriter who navigates through New York City's 1960's folk-music scene. The film is competing for the Palm d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival and had its premiere two days ago, at Cannes, of course. Lots of stars--and a VERY WEALTHY socialite who LOVES Couture--walked the red carpet, so let's take a look:
Aishwarya Rai Bachchan in Elie Saab Haute Couture Spring 2013: The former Miss World and perpetual "Most Beautiful Woman in the World" Indian actress, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan made her 2013 Cannes Film Festival "debut" at the "Inside Llewyn Davis" premiere in a stunning lace-printed silk gazar A-line flared gown with intricate black hand-beaded applique. For Rai, the gown was customized by adding shoulder lace/sequin applique that wasn't in the original runway look. This gown--if ordered and bought--would probably cost $100,000+ (Mrs. Bachchan didn't pay for a thing darlings!) but because she's such a big star and this photo would go all over the world...it was worth the House of Elie Saab to make a custom gown for her, and then she would have to give back to the couturier's pr department for their "Red Carpet Archives".
Jane Fonda in Badgley Mischka: 75 year-old Jane Fonda looked FAB-u-LOUS at the premiere in this raspberry-colored off the shoulder jersey gown from Badgley Mischka. Did I mention she is 75 years old? Two things: A) At-a-Girl, and B) I want that necklace--oh and yes, to look like that at 75.
