She really just needs a new stylist. Looks like Wanna Party threw up on her.

Maybe she is sabotaging it. Maybe she doesn’t want to be invited to these things anymore.

Sonam and Deepika weren’t asked back by the brand. They didn’t bow out.. their contract expired. There’s a very big difference there that seems to be ignored. Although Aishwarya is pulling out questionable looks she is still a major player for L’Oréal which reflects in social media numbers and media coverage.

Here’s Aish on the front page of London Financial Times

But she comes out of her hibernation only for two events in a year - Cannes and Aaradhya’s annual day at school. Dress code for latter is fixed, so she experiments at Cannes (goes horribly bad at times too). let her be, she is not seeking anyone’s validation least of all fashion critics!

Unpopular Opinion:She should fire her current stylist and appoint someone like Anaita Shroff Adajania

My theory is that she is just wearing these ugly dresses knowingly so that people’s attention remain on the dresses and not on her flaws (which she might be insecure about). Eventually everyone will discuss only on how ugly the dresses were.

Remember how she was trolled for her weight when she went to Cannes post Aradhya’s birth! So maybe she is insecure or smthing!

She made exceptionally questionable choices this year no doubt but that doesn’t mean she should stop going, she has a long standing relationship that takes her to Cannes every year and she is invited.

I hope she does better next year

I can understand why this is un popular. She is paid to go there unlike a few who PAY to go there..(No Hate)

So much drama for a dress..

Why should she take a break? She just need a better styling which is actually easy to fix lol but for whatever reason they don't

I feel she should go out more casually, once ppl are done with the novelty, they won't troll her. She hides and becomes a mystery. Maybe she's an introvert but then ig she should just be done with it and maybe she will feel free to wear better clothes that show her arms and belly and no one would care.

I love Ash but it feels like she is wantedly sabotaging the only thing left in career - L’Oréal contract. Why else will a beauty Queen of 3 decades having worn the best of clothes and access to the best stylist willingly do this to herself??

I know it’s far fetched but it really looks like Ash’s cry for help. I truly wish Ash is able to get through whatever situation she is in and be at peace. Don’t care if she doesn’t want to act anymore but she should at least look happy which since the past few years she doesn’t and seems like she has lost the spark in her eyes and just going through life.

Agree 50%. The other half of me is intrigued and wants to know what sort of monstrosity is next b/c I can’t look away.

Everything she wears looks like her daughter's school arts & craft project.

She needs to fire her stylist because these looks are just terrible. She is such a gorgeous woman and they just ruined her with these looks

This never compares with the Aishwarya we grew up with✨

she kinda looks like aradhya in the last pic

Or just Change her stylist

She just needs a good stylist. She is a veteran there and probably the only few who deserve to be there.

You are going to get a lot hate for this bc this sub still lives in 90s Aish world.  Here’s my take - I think she is aging like any normal women.  The issue is more the fans expectations of what she should look like.  Her fans and reddit live in 90s Aish world meaning they are constantly doing posts after posts of her young days and complimenting her beauty.   She was so pretty in her heyday it’s understandable that people love still talking about it.  However she is no longer that person and by always putting those pics up we are setting her up to fail bc that’s what everyone is measuring her against and that’s the truth.   She looks fab imo.  Could the styling be better? Yes but I belivie she probably isn’t feeling confident in her body and hence feel comfortable wearing stuff like this.  Why isn’t she confident in her skin - bc she has to live up the 90s aishwrayia rai image that she is constantly bombarded w.   

No she should come back super strong next year

She doesn’t need to take a break Cannes but from her stylists, a permanent one

Don’t know about that, but she definitely should take a break from the stylist who put her in those two outfits

Disagree, she just needs a stylist that isn’t an idiot.

Aishwarya has become heavily insecure. It's like she just dislikes her body going through the changes in her 50s and also her inner peace seems to be at the lowest. It is quite visible. All she needs is to consult a therapist.

People around her aren't also helping her a lot in accepting this change. It's so sad to see this truly. She's been a very strong woman in the past during the Salman fiasco but currently she seems lost.

As a holistic nutritionist, I really wish she tries to diagnose any ailments that she has (not insinuating she's got any disease. So please don't come @ me!). Once her well being is in place she should resume her public appearances with better dresses which are more suitable for her and which would showcase her actual beauty. There's absolutely no denying that she's one of the most beautiful women in the world. She just needs to own it again! P.S. I typed this comment with utmost respect for ARB and her situation/circumstances.

I mean she carried the birthday party decoration well but the outfit is fucking atrocious! She badly needs a better stylist.

I think that dress is beautiful and a piece of art. She looked great.

The heading seems like that journalist who wrote about Vidya balan that she should not step out of house because she's bad in fashion. Person comes first, clothes later. And Aishwarya is not some model, she's a star and her styling doesn't define her.

Hibernation se nikalti toh 2 vaar hai

I mean, what is the point of it all?

Her designers should...

Agreed 100%

It’s the brand that’s responsible for putting her in those outfits. They really did hee wrong. I everyone is dragging the brand and they are just deleting the comments. No accountability. The outfits are so awful they didn’t even post her on their instagram. I don’t know how they put her in the worst designs ever !! It’s almost like they hate her.

Who r u to tell her to give up on cannes, she is above 50 why do expect her to look like a 20-30 year old. You are equally racist and a misogynist like other ... What happens if she is old she is still capable of participating in cannes and she is still beautiful

She reminds me of lady Gaga and lets her creativity take over. If you don’t want to look at her, then don’t. No need to spread your hate everywhere

i will stick to my belief that this is a PR stunt to stay relevant

I think the issue is confidence. if she looked happier and bolder then im sure she could've pulled it off. its HER ffs.

I think immediate fix is hiring a stylist who'll actually compliment her current looks and chilling out on whatever freezing/plumping procedures are going on. and long term fix would be therapy or something idk.

I think if you're worshiped for your appearance since day 1, and have basically built your whole life because of it, ageing is ofc gonna affect you more than the average person right?

I think Rekha is a great example of someone who's accepting her ageing whilst keeping up with complimentary styling and procedures. if Aish gets someone who can push her in that direction im sure shes gonna look amazing.

I don't get why Aish always choose Falguni Shain Peacock to style her for Cannes, when her friend MANISH MALHOTRA is right there, he could've designed beautiful saree or a lehenga or gown for her

Yeah I know MM is also very repetitive and boring but still his creations are considered iconic and could've been million times better than the garbage outfits she ended up wearing on red carpets

Being called the most beautiful woman ever has its cons. A beautiful person can’t err. Can’t age.

Aishwarya has a impeccable track record, both in her personal and her professional life, in a way she portrayed a persona that was fit for the most beautiful lady on earth. She played the part well so much so some people called her plastic.

And now suddenly, Aishwarya is trying to hide much more than her weight in these voluminous dress, and that hairstyle that literary hides her face. I think she is deeply unhappy. The fact that her domestic life isn’t going great, and that she has only her mom and her daughter by her side. She is more than obsessively protective of her daughter. One day her daughter might want to break free, then what?

In a way she has fallen from her own grace, her own plastic pedestal. And all that is in her own head.

I agree. Her silhouettes are a disaster and l’oreal should actually have a chat with her about her styling

A lot of money is involved from the brands she endorses I guess, one of the reasons she may not be taking a break from Cannes anytime soon.

Yes please or stop her stylists getting cheques from shwetdi IYKYK 😉🤪😏🫣🙃💣

She used to be queen of cannes red carpet but now idk like what happened

Lol you aren't even capable of getting a flight to France . Forget about attending Cannes

Me who always finds her hot ....🤣 In all three outfits

And you guys need to take a break from obsessing over Aishwarya Rai.

I hope your opinion remains unpopular.

The only thing that needs to be done is find a better stylist.Trust me her comeback will be stronger than ever. A queen is always a queen. 💘

She is unique in her natural beauty, talent, grace and persona, and one wrong outfit at Cannes will not undo the decades of amazing work she has done. She was the OG at Cannes twenty years ago when all the current gen were babes in arms. I think people are forgetting how truly amazing she is.

I wish she would just get a new stylist, hair and mua, and show everybody that she's not afraid of ageing gracefully. She really is going to be an amazingly beautiful older woman and I do wish she would embrace her age.

My eyes squirming watching that green dress and those uncomfortable heels.

So even Cannes n other such events goin to be gate kept now as to "Who actually needs to attend". Jus' cuz she wore some' what majority folks didn't like or she's changed from what folks were used to seein' her as.

She's for sure much much bigger than her outlandish outfits or any such petty stuff or even Cannes. She's a legacy. Yep, agree, she needs to take better call on her stylin n could've done a lot better as she's representin'. But she's a capable woman (been in business for long) , who can make calls n has power. N makin' her look like some sorta' victim who's not able to make sensible decisions for herself always's belittlin' her.

this is basically the only time we get to see her though :( disappointing how underconfident in her body she's become though.

Well aish is gonna be back with a bang... Let's wait n watch cuz the star in her is never gonna die

It’s almost shocking that she said okay to wear these “dresses.” What was she thinking? How could she say yes? 

Or should fire her stylist.

When I think of L’Oréal Paris, automatically only Aishwarya Rai comes to mind. Nobody else. It wouldn’t be surprising if she’s the lifelong brand ambassador of L’Oréal Paris in India. It is totally worth all the heartbreaks. The nostalgia feels special as she’s definitely one of a kind star.

Yeah, ofc L’Oréal should think of targeting the younger generation, who won’t carry any nostalgia. But for that, they have sign up a completely new actor personality in India, who can create that type of fresh & original impact. They have been trying other options in the past. Nothing has worked out. Uorfi can be a good new face!

Not unpopular. Everyone is tired of this fashion eyesore.

So much criticism for what a woman wears. Let her be. You calm down, beta sabya wannabe

Just noticed - why is her hand in a cast?

More like Aishwarya should take responsibility of her styling and get over her body issues. She has enough experience in the industry to understand how garments, lighting and makeup works. If she cannot figure it out, she should call Rekha and ask her how she fixed her styling and makeup woes.

Your opinion is unpopular for a reason. No she should not. I love seeing her every year at Cannes.

Her outfits are actually perfect for the Met Gala…just not Cannes.

L’Oréal keeps renewing her contract. Let’s see for how long.

Is her hand in a cast?

Or should change her stylist

Look like cher

Zaga maga ata mala bagha 💀

Unpopular Opinion- i think cannes itself should stop the fashion parading and focus more on the films that are shown.

It looks like my fashion sense has gone bad. But mjhe sabhi pics me achi lag rhi hai

🤨wtf 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

The first one would have been good if it is toned down a bit

i'm always happy to see her so i'll take it!

These were better (Jeans-1998)

It is now a popular opinion

Your unpopular opinion is actually very popular!

how the hand got cured in second pic

Ohh

smh i can make dis under 1k without those shiny stuff on aliexpress😭

Seems to be just hiding her insecurities. She is beautiful. She should embrace and love her body the way it is.

She’s irrelevant

How did she even get an invite? Has she been in any hit movies lately?

Tried or probably trying to imitate Urfi Javed, lol...

This post is so delightfully written!! In love with your writing style.

why should she take a break? aradhya ka drawing and craft projects ka proper use kar rahi hai ..aur kya chahiye?

better opinion- should change her damn stylist

Whats up with her leg in the 3rd pic with Green outfit? Looks straight outta Conjuring Movie.

Dresses like a new pokemon everytime

[Image] 

Correction: She should never go to Cannes hereafter.

One of my acquaintances mentioned that she is doing hate crime against fashion!

She looks like Monica Bellucci

Or just maybe you should get a job 😂

I feel it’s deliberate. She wears these absolutely ridiculous outfits just so she gets to be the talk of the town. And she gets talked about for sure. Negative publicity is also publicity. So they think. So they do.

I can feel the absolute pain in OP's words, this is some brilliant writing

Stupid dresses
