What did Aishwarya Rai wear to fly off to Cannes

Aishwarya Rai's Cannes red carpet looks always become the focal point for the film festival for desi fans. While they wait with bated breath for her red carpet look and which designer she will pick to dress her up for the 79th edition of the Cannes Film Festival, she gave them a stylish airport appearance.

For the airport appearance, she chose her favourite all-black look this time, too. According to an Instagram page called Bollywood Women Closet, she’s wearing the blazer-and-pant combination by designer Dhruv Kapoor from his eponymous label's Fall/Winter 2026-27 collection.

The set features a black blazer decked with shimmering black floral beaded embroidery, notch lapel collars, padded shoulders, full-length sleeves, front button closure, and a tailored fit. She styled it with a black satin blouse, which she wore underneath the jacket.

Meanwhile, the pants come with a mid-rise waist, a flowy silhouette, and a tapered fit. She completed the look with a Diana Bag and Signoria Boots from the luxury fashion house, Gucci. The black coat she’s holding on her arm is from Lovebirds Studio. Celebrity stylist Mohit Rai, who has worked with other Bollywood stars, dressed Aishwarya for the airport.
