Cannes Film Festival aka Festival de Cannes has been the pinnacle of fashion and glamour for several decades. The 71st Cannes Film Festival red carpet was no different as it saw the best and boldest of fashionable outings. However, there was one style, a classic staple that was flaunted by visiting fashionistas at the Cannes 2018. It is the popular combination of a white top and blue denim that was nailed by Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor and Deepika Padukone as well as Pakistani beauty Mahira Khan. These beautiful yet powerful fashion icons are the brand ambassadors of the beauty brand, L’Oreal and have been representing it in the film festival held at the French Riviera.
Deepika Padukone was the first to take Cannes 2018 by storm. The 32-year-old Xander Cage actress displayed a spectacular range of outfits including stylish maxi dresses, asymmetrical gowns and power suits. Amidst everything glitz and glamorous, Deepika stuck to her favourite ensemble that also happens to be a regular wardrobe essential – white tee worn over a pair of denim jeans! We have seen the Padmavat actress wear it on previous occasions and it was something her stylist Shaleena Nathani opted to let Deepika continue to flaunt it in Cannes.
At the 71st Cannes Film Festival, Deepika donned this quintessential yet uber-cool combination twice. She first wore a basic white knotted up t-shirt with a pair of high-waisted ankle-length jeans. She wore nude stilettoes to complete the look. Deepz put on an over-sized pair of shades, wearing a watch and few chunky bracelets as accessories. With her hair left open, Deepika looked every inch a diva in this simple yet cool avatar.
The second time in the ongoing Cannes edition, Deepika reprised the cool white on a blue look for the consecutive day in Cannes. The leggy lass wore a flared jeans from FRAME, which she teamed up with a white ganji from ATM Anthony Thomas Melillo and Roger Vivier shoes.
Moving on to our next diva who left us asking for more in this perfect wardrobe essential was Mahira Khan. The 33-year-old who scripted history by becoming the first Pakistani to make Cannes debut in one of her many outfit changes donned the classic white and blue outfit and looked gorgeous as always.
Sonam Kapoor, the last of the three L’Oreal brand ambassadors to rock this all-time gorgeous standard style chose a white shirt instead of a tee over dark blue denim. The newly-wed actress is seen wearing Simone Rocha, an Irish fashion designer and Bhane, a clothing brand owned by her husband Anand Ahuja. She is styled by her sister Rhea Kapoor with makeup done by Namrata Soni.
Sonam who headed for Cannes right after her wedding on May 8 has got off to a slow, rather a less dramatic start at the French Riviera. But as we all know Sonam Kapoor, the true-blue fashionista has a knack of surprising us with her unique sartorial choices.
Among the three beauties, we have seen them wear high-end design labels from Zuhair Murad to Alberta Ferretti, Ralph & Russo to Ashi Studio. Deepika Padukone, Mahira Khan and Sonam Kapoor are truly the greatest ambassadors of Asian beauty on the international platform. Keep up the good work, ladies.
