Aishwarya Rai Bachchan shone as she stepped on to the Cannes red carpet in a show-stopping gold gown.
The Indian actress and model commanded attention from the crowd as she turned up at the A Hidden Life premiere in the metallic dress.
The flattering frock left one arm and shoulder bare and featured an unusual, layered train.
