For days, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan fans have been anxiously wondering if the queen of the Cannes Film Festival would skip the red carpet this year. However, putting all the whispers to rest, the global icon was spotted at the Mumbai airport early Friday morning, jetting off to the French Riviera for Cannes 2026. Like always, she was accompanied by her constant cheerleader and daughter, Aaradhya Bachchan.

The Ponniyin Selvan actress nailed the airport look, stepping out in a sharply tailored all-black ensemble that exuded pure sophistication. She sported a structured black blazer from designer Dhruv Kapoor’s collection.

The jacket featured padded shoulders and stunning black floral beaded embroidery. She paired it with a satin black blouse and flowy trousers. Elevating her look, she carried a classic black bag with brown handles and stepped out in sleek black heeled boots.

Keeping her signature aesthetic intact, the former Miss World sported flawless winged eyeliner, rosy, highlighted cheeks, and her iconic bright lip color. Her hair was styled in a sleek, middle-parted straight look.

Walking hand-in-hand with her mother, Aaradhya perfectly complemented Aishwarya's vibe while adding her own Gen-Z twist. Aaradhya looked effortlessly cool in a coordinated black outfit, a stylish black leather jacket, and white sneakers.

Soon after the video went viral, fans started expressing their excitement to watch what she would be serving on the red carpet this year. “Finally..... can't wait for her look,” a user commented, while another wrote, “Ab ayega maja.”

Aishwarya made her historic Cannes debut back in 2002 alongside Shah Rukh Khan for Devdas, and she has been representing a makeup brand ever since. Reports suggest that the actress is heading over to attend the prestigious festival's closing ceremony.
