Will Aaradhya accompany mommy Aishwarya to this year's Cannes?
Aishwarya has become a Cannes regular ever since her film Devdas was chosen for the film festival in 2002. This year, she will most likely be attending the event on May 19 wearing an Ashi Studio creation. The 45-year-old actress will be representing a French cosmetics company. Last year, she was accompanied by her daughter Aaradhya. Whether that would be repeated isn't clear yet.
Sonam has started working out hard for her Cannes appearance
Sonam Kapoor, known for her chic fashion choices, is expected to be present at the 72nd edition of the French Riviera on May 20-21. Last year, she attended the event just days after getting married to Anand Ahuja. For this year's appearance, she has already started working out hard, and is knocking off the extra fat she has gained during her recent London vacation.
Deepika's Met Gala appearance has upped our excitement
Deepika Padukone left a strong impression with her appearance at this year's Met Gala with her bold Barbie doll look, and now she's gearing up for Cannes. Like Aishwarya and Sonam, Deepika will also represent the same cosmetics company, and will be attending the event on May 16. The Bajirao Mastani actor will, however, be reaching there a few days earlier for some work.
Kangana's dress to 'have drama,' will reflect theme 'Live Victoriously'

This year she will attend it from May 16-18, and the Manikarnika actress said that her dresses will reflect the theme 'Live Victoriously,' tagline of the liquor brand she is representing. She has opted for a saree that "will have drama," and yet "reflect our rich heritage."
