People are going berserk over the purple lips of Aishwarya at Cannes. Personally speaking, they ain't bad.

Earlier, Twitter went in to a frenzy speculating that the former Miss World could be pregnant with her second child, as she walked the red carpet on her first day at Cannes 2016.

She flaunted an evident baby bump in her Ali Younes Couture, figure-hugging outfit, as she marked her 15th year at the film festival.

As much as we appreciate Aish's daring sense of style, this look just makes us say, 'Sweetie, NO!'

Kiran | 8 years ago | Reply All she had to do was say the lipstick was in memory of "The Purple One" and the media would have gone ga-ga on her.

Genetically Modified | 8 years ago | Reply Just hideous !! Then again, all she wants is publicity. She won't mind which way she gets it.

Thora Bora | 8 years ago | Reply Lol!!!

Anony | 8 years ago | Reply Well,the first thing that popped in my head after seeing her in that make up; "The Aliens From Tom & Jerry."

Haji Atiya | 8 years ago | Reply @Dipti: I'll tell you why a number of Indians have won these pageants. First, backstage political lobbying which Indians never tire of doing Second, gift of gab; admittedly Indian have a forte to conjure up impressive words though when carefully dissected become meaningless. By the way, wasn't one of Rai's grandparents German..?

anon | 8 years ago | Reply @Macbeth: If you look at Turkish actresses, they all look almost the same.

Macbeth | 8 years ago | Reply @np: @Dipti: Turkish actresses are not interested in Hollywood since they are not inspired from the West like Aishwarya Rai,and they can`t speak in English either.

np | 8 years ago | Reply @Cinephile: Yes, she tried making a mark in Hollywood and did not succeed. Sometimes it is a question of when the industry is willing to accommodate more diversity. I am sure that Priyanka and Deepika will do much better. Still, she had good enough relations with Oprah that Oprah stayed with them when she visited India. Incidentally, you claim that Fawad who has been in one ensemble movie - as a second lead and one heroine oriented flop movie as a hero is described as a superstar in Bollywood...soooo! @Macbeth: She is 42 now. In any case she was crowned Miss World - way back in 1994 and a decade back they created a statue of her at Madame Tussaud's museum. She has been walking the Cannes Red Carpet for the last 13 years. How many of the Turkist actresses have such a biodata?

Dipti | 8 years ago | Reply @Macbeth: World doesn't think so.. No Turkish ever reached top 3 "most beautiful" women in world list, forget top 1 like her or won Miss World (the ultimate beauty pagent) title by same person, including being a successful actress. She wears multiple hats of talents and achievements. She's 44 and expecting her second baby still beats people half her age in terms of beauty.

Macbeth | 8 years ago | Reply Is this what you call the World`s Most Beautiful Women! lol Turkish actresses are much more beautiful than her!

Rahul | 8 years ago | Reply @khurram shahzad: She is Cannes because she is one of the stars in the movie "Sarabjit", which is being screened at Cannes. It is about an Indian spy who was killed in a Pakistani prison.

HK | 8 years ago | Reply In all honesty, I think she looked hot in those purple lips too. She knows how to work the camera and pose and look beautiful. I don't know what the fuss is about for her purple lips. People love to talk about her every year at Cannes.

Vijay | 8 years ago | Reply @Cinephile: More like ur imagination. Your envy and hate is understandable, since ur side never had her success. Ease it with burnol. Your story reflects journey of meera/veena in Bollywood. We have our 100 yr old film industry. It's people with zero film industry base that import entertainment that wish such dreams. Not indians. @khurram Shahzad She is Cannes jury member. Her Bafta nominated Devdas was blockbuster in France-2002. Since 2003 she's been bestowed the honour to serve in Prestigious Cannes Jury. Ash is loreal ambassador along with Eva longoria. She has received the second highest French civilian award "Knight of the Order of Arts and Letters" for her contribution to cinema. Amitabh Bachchan too has received France's highest civilian award, the Legion d'Honneur. So they get invited every year.

Cinephile | 8 years ago | Reply Indians have been screaming their lungs out for the past 15 years about how Aishwariya will conquer Hollywood. It didn't happen, it will not happen. Too bad. She's just a pretty relic whose acting abilities are about as good as a mannequin. Overly lavish production values in Bhansali films can only push your talents so far.

Mega | 8 years ago | Reply @Rollin & trolling Lol. Get ur eyes tested and tone down the jealousy. Glad world doesn't agree with you. Because she was crowned with 1. "Miss World" title by the world for her beauty. 2. Ranked in top 2 "most beautiful woman" in the world. 3. Awarded "Most successful Miss World Beauty " of all time by Miss world organisation 4. Her movie Devdas, jodha Akbar, bride and Prejudice has made her international darling in west. A warped up lipstick shade in an event, won't change facts on grounds of this beauty.

khurram shahzad | 8 years ago | Reply What exactly likes of Aishwarya do in Cannes fest? Seems like "Fluff" girls.

Rollin & Trollin | 8 years ago | Reply Lol, she looks even more aboriginal than before !
