From gown to saree to skirt, Indian actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan strictly stuck to black on all her last three appearances at Cannes 2013. Her detractors put it down in black and white that her choice cried out loud her eagerness to look slim.

It is evident that the actress will still have to work a bit to get back in shape but there is no denying of the fact that Aishwarya Rai is beauty personified, which almost, always nullifies everything else.

Ash made her red carpet appearance for the second day in a row during the 'Blood Ties’ Cannes Film Festival premiere, but not in black this time.

Aishwarya looked pretty in an elaborate embroidered, sheer pastel Anarkali dress. After a black Elie Saab Haute Couture and a black Sabyasachi Mukherjee saree Ash turned to her most trusted Indian designer duo Abu Jani and Sandeep Khosla to do the magic for her.

But Ash again opted to go full sleeves, completely aware what she needs to keep under the wrap!  She wearing 'CAUTION' on her sleeve?

Her camouflage act is exposing her fragile confidence. Point to note that though she has toned down a lot, but the length of her floor-sweeping anarkalis remain the same.
 
It shows a slim Ash is slim on self-confidence too.

The floor grazing long sleeved gown had floral bead heavy embroidery in white, pastel shades and gives you a déjà vu of a lovely persian carpet.

Ash's full-sleeved, intricately embroidered anarkali swamped her figure... err let's not talk about the kilos.

Nonetheless, the actress glowed a thousand watts in this avatar which gave the summery mix of colours. For once the focus should not be on her weight but the beauty.

Ash styled her ensemble with a blush coloured clutch and personal jewels. Her wavy tresses were left down, styled with a middle parting.
 
Pastel green manicure, which set off a color from her dress, smoky eye make-up and lush lips completed the mesmerizing look.
