Cannes 2023: After alligator necklace, Urvashi opts for electric-blue lips
What's the story
Remember Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's purple lips at Cannes Film Festival in 2016? Little did she know that her look would serve as lifetime fodder for memes.
Cut to the present, actor Urvashi Rautela seems to have taken cues from Rai Bachchan as she chose to paint her lips blue for her second appearance on the Cannes red carpet on Thursday.

Why does this story matter?
This year's festival is seeing many Indian stars mark their red carpet debuts. Among those are Anushka Sharma, Sara Ali Khan, Mrunal Thakur, and Manushi Chhillar.
Rautela returned to the carpet after her last year's appearance.
Meanwhile, Rautela didn't only grab everyone's attention with her first appearance on the opening ceremony day but also with her second red carpet outfit.
Second appearance
Rautela gave red carpet 'blues' in matching outfit, lip color
After initiating a discussion on the alligator necklace that she wore for her appearance at the Festival de Cannes, Rautela shocked everyone with her second appearance.
Continuing her love for ruffles, she wore a heavily embellished off-shoulder princess gown with scales in cream and blue. But what surprised everyone was her electric-blue lips, reminding everyone of Rai Bachchan's purple lips.
Paps' confusion
Photographers mistook Rautela for Rai Bachchan
Rautela's second red carpet appearance came for the premiere of Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. When she arrived, the photographers confused her to be Rai Bachchan. Do we blame them for those blue lips? Not really!
Interestingly, Rai Bachchan's first appearance on the red carpet was also for the same premiere event. She arrived in a silver hooded outfit by Sophie Couture.
