Cannes Throwback: When Aishwarya Rai Bachchan & Urvashi Rautela Made Bold Red Carpet Entry In Vibrant Lipstick (PHOTOS)

Over the years, the Cannes Film Festival red carpet has seen its fair share of bold beauty statements, but few stirred up as much chatter as Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Urvashi Rautela did during their appearances in 2017 and 2023

Both stars grabbed global attention not just for their glamorous gowns, but for their striking and unconventional lipstick shades that sparked widespread debate online

Back in 2017, Aishwarya turned heads in a dreamy floral creation by Rami Kadi, pairing it with a daring purple lip that instantly went viral. The bold hue divided the internet; some praised her for the experimental beauty move, while others weren’t as kind

Fast forward to 2023, Urvashi Rautela followed in a similar fearless fashion. She walked the Cannes red carpet in a dramatic off-shoulder white and blue gown and finished the look with a vibrant blue lipstick

Many users couldn't resist poking fun at the bold lip trend, with one cheeky comment reading, "When Asian Paints sponsors your lipstick."

While trolls had their field day, many fashion commentators and beauty experts applauded both actresses for pushing the envelope and taking beauty risks at such a high-profile global event

As Cannes 2025 unfolds, both Aishwarya and Urvashi are once again set to make waves with their red carpet appearances, reminding the world that bold choices never go out of style
