Photos of Aishwarya Rai At 60th Cannes Festival Escorted by Abhishek Bachchan on Red Carpet

17 May 2007 (Sawf News) - The 60th Cannes Film Festival opened with the screening of My Blueberry Nights on 16 May 2007. Amongst the celebrities that walked the red carpet was Bollywood star Aishwarya Bachchan née Rai.

The first time Aishwarya attended Cannes was in 2002 when her film Devdas was given a special screening at the festival. In 2003 she returned as part of the jury. Since then she has attended the festival as a representative of French cosmetic brand L'Oreal.
This year Cannes was different for the recently married Aishwarya because she had her husband, Abhishek Bachchan, to escort her on the red carpet.

Aishwarya walked the red carpet beaming in a beautiful white dress, a heavy diamond necklace and carrying a glittering white clutch. Unfortunately for her, the ruched fabric of her designer dress failed to conceal a bump in her belly and her eye make-up was too loud.
In contrast, Abhishek looked charming and relaxed in black tuxedos.
Following the screening of the film Aishwarya and Abhishek attended an after party organized by StudioCanal, in collaboration with Louis Vuitton.

Other celebrities such as Jude Law, Norah Jones, Andie MacDowell and Faye Dunaway joined the event.
