At the 78th Cannes Film Festival the undisputed icon of the Cannes red carpet, the beautiful Aishwarya Rai Bachchan makes a striking return in a visual statement that honours Indian handloom- a meditation in ivory, rose gold, and silver: a handwoven Kadwa ivory Banarasi handloom saree from Manish Malhotra. 

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan Rest Divorce Rumours 

The Kadwa brocade technique stands as a true testament to the unmatched skill of Indian weavers. Originating from the famed looms of Varanasi, this intricate method involves crafting each motif separately, often using multiple shuttles and supplementary threads. What grabbed the attention is her red sindoor at the red carpet. At Cannes 2025, Aishwarya silenced divorce rumors by donning a regal ivory saree and sindoor, symbolizing her marital status. Fashion Police Diet Sabya shared this video with the caption, “Stepping on your necks. Putting the divorce rumours to rest. I won’t copeeeeee!!!

Aishwarya’s saree features handwoven brocade motifs and hand-embroidered zari detailing in real chandi (silver), further extending the sanctity of the fabric. Draped alongside is a sheer white tissue handwoven dupatta, edged with real gold and silver zardozi embroidery.
