The Golden Statuette of the 2013 Cannes Film Festival

As always, the Cannes Film Festival brings to the red carpet all things glitz and glamour, so it was no surprise that the Bollywood babes stood out from the crowd. Bollywood stars included Aishwarya Rai and Sonam Kapoor, who both dazzled us their flawless, golden sarees. We think they both look stunning!
The gold theme was a tribute to the late Elizabeth Taylor for the amfAR Gala. The 39 year old (yes, she’s 39 and still looks amazing) graced the red carpet in a gold saree, accompanied by a gold blouse with heavy embroidery. Aishwarya won Miss World in 1994, which isn’t a surprise in and we would also like to add that she hasn’t aged since (jealous)! No wonder she has been named as the most beautiful woman in the world. 

 

Another golden stunner to walk the red carpet at this year’s Cannes Film Festival was Sonam Kapoor, who picked a traditional vintage Indian outfit the French Rivera. She wore a white and gold saree by designer Anamika Khanna, with a trailing baroque-effect jacket to the screening of The Great Gatsby. She also wore an oversized nose ring, which certainly stands out, but again she’s another Bollywood beaut and one of our favourites. 

We think that both Aishwarya and Karpoor looked stunning at the film festival, and if they have inspired you to create a similar Bollywood look, using the star studded gold colours, then here at Bollywood Borrowed, we have some similar sarees; Cherry Blossom which boasts shimmering gold hues, whilst creating a lavish look or our oriental inspired Zen saree in a subtle gold and pink colours.

But don’t worry, if you’re not a fan of the gold look, we have a selection of other bold and beautiful coloured sarees that we think will look perfect on you- take a look now at our exquisite collection ♥
