Aishwarya Rai Bachchan did not end her annual association with the Cannes Film Festival. The actress attended this year’s closing ceremony amid much anticipation. While Abhishek Bachchan remains committed to his work, Aaradhya Bachchan accompanied her mother to the festival. Standing tall and confidently with Aishwarya, the 14-year-old stole the limelight, and we are sure her mother did not mind. Concluding the Cannes Film Festival 2026, Aishwarya and Aaradhya took over the French Riviera. Several pictures and videos of the mother-daughter duo went viral on social media. One of them grabbed the attention of the internet.

As she signed autographs and took pictures, Aaradhya was seen smiling and adoring her mother. The proud daughter looked at Aishwarya while she was signing a poster. After fulfilling her duties as a superstar, Aishwarya returned to her daughter and held her hand.

Aishwarya, a regular at Cannes Film Festival, returned for the closing ceremony this year. The first look was a gorgeous, sculpted midnight blue gown. However, a section of social media engaged in ugly body-shaming.
Kangana Ranaut came to her defence and wrote on Instagram Story, “No woman owes anything to anyone; Ash looks great! Those of you who want to see her any other way, why don’t you show what you got? She is not here to please you; she is glorious. If you are not used to seeing older women on red carpets, get used to them now. Thanks.” Aishwarya arrived in
France and served her first look on the red carpet. On May 22, she wore the midnight blue Amit Aggarwal gown. The outfit was designed under Luminara, a creation centred around the idea of light in motion. The piece explored light not simply as illumination, but as energy, movement, and force; translated through sculptural construction and engineered craftsmanship. According to an official statement, Amit’s signature Crystal Vein was developed over more than 1500 hours of meticulous handwork. Thousands of crystalline linear embellishments have been individually placed across the gown, held together through an intricate lattice-like structure that binds the crystal veins seamlessly across the body to create the effect of illuminated pathways moving across the body. Aishwarya concluded the ceremony on Saturday with a white pantsuit that got a glam touch with the white feather boa. Her wavy hair, smoky eyes and dual-toned lips added elegance and edge to the look.
