This is the first part of a three part series featuring Bollywood leading ladies who made appearances at the Cannes Film Festival. First up, naturally, is La Rai who was a veritable whirlwind at Cannes making so many appearances she made my head spin. Overall, I enjoyed her selection of gowns - each one markedly different from the others in style and color, but all of them quite flattering.



Even her more casual daytime looks were spot on in terms of nailing the breezy vibe of Cannes.

My only gripe was her massive beehive hair at the
Robin Hood premiere ... seriously, what was up with that?!

Also, at the the
Raavan photocall, La Rai was effortlessly chic in black with lovely tousled waves. However, I take issue with her accessorizing: namely in her arm candy, hubbie Abhi. Why she let him step out in a too-snug, semi-cropped red leather jacket and bloody too-short denims, is beyond me. Horrendous.


She did rectify this gaffe in a subsequent outing with AB Jr. fitted in a classy tux!
