Aishwarya Rai turns heads in blue, greets Eva Longoria

One video from the Cannes shows Aishwarya dressed in a metallic blue dress as she climbed the iconic stairs at the Martinez Hotel. The actor left her hair loose and posed for pictures and videos on the stairs before heading to the film festival. She even waved at those who recognised her there and was all smiles.

Another video shows actor Eva Longoria dressed in white and greeting her friends. Aishwarya greeted her with cheek kisses. Eva even exclaimed, “That's my best friend,” when she saw Aishwarya. The actors have known each other for years, given that they’re both L’Oréal brand ambassadors. They even posed for pictures with the other ambassadors before making their way to the festival.

Fans couldn’t keep calm when they saw Aishwarya making an appearance. “Im jumping on your behalf!” commented one fan, while another wrote, “Praise the Lord! her stylists finally gave her a beautiful gown for the red carpet.” A fan even commented about their journey with her writing, “From enthiran audio launch to longines launch in Kl and now in Cannes.” One fan even called her a ‘Goddess’ in the outfit. “Ngl for an imaginary I thought it would be deep blue gown And guess what It came true,” wrote an excited fan.

When fans accused brand of snubbing Aishwarya Rai

Earlier this month, the official Instagram page of L’Oréal Paris posted a video showing giant posters of its brand ambassadors at the iconic Hotel Martinez in Cannes. Hollywood stars Viola Davis, Eva Longoria, and Helen Mirren featured on the posters, and from the Hindi film industry, the brand chose to showcase Alia Bhatt's poster rather than Aishwarya Rai's.

This did not go down well with Aishwarya's fans, as many argued that the actor has been associated with the brand since 2003 and is one of the most recognised faces at the film festival. On the other hand, Alia was announced as the new global brand ambassador in 2024. This also led to rumours that Aishwarya might not attend the film festival this year, though she has been a regular there for many years now. Fans breathed a sigh of relief only after it was confirmed that the actor is, in fact, heading there.
