The 70th edition of the famous Cannes Film Festival is just getting, and we can effectively say India sizzled already the ramp this year. Three Indian actresses represented L'Oreal Paris this year, including 'Queen of Cannes' Aishwarya Rai, who walked the red carpet for the 16th time, fashionista Sonam Kapoor, and leggy lass Deepika Padukone, a personal favourite.

All three visited the festival on scheduled different days, unfailingly keeping everybody on their toes. The first to arrive, Deepika's stint this year was a hit as she tried on one outfit after another, soaking in the warm Cannes sun. The actress had a blast experimenting with her hair, dresses, colours, well basically, just having fun. The 'Bajirao Mastani' actress made hearts skip a beat with her first red carpet appearance as L'Oreal Paris brand ambassador, making a vibrant entry in a sheer Marchesa gown. With a shimmery body suit inside that did absolute justice to the lady's curves, the dress pulled quite a few tricks with its satiny gorgeousness.

For her second day, she chose a green Brandon Maxwell gown, pairing it with diamonds by De Grisogono, Chloe Gosselin shoes, and her hair held high in a bun.

Dippy had marked the trip with a blast, making a statement to the press that she dresses up for herself, and that's what makes her special. While the assertion rubbed several media sources the wrong way, we found all the more reasons to fall in love with our sweet, dimpled beauty.

Rightfully called the 'Queen', Aishwarya made sure she looked the part in a sweeping powder blue ballroom gown by Dubai-based Filipino fashion designer Michael Cinco. Stunning in the off-shoulder gown, fitted from the waist and flowing out into a ballroom dress, with a plunging neckline, Aish owned the red carpet on the third day of the gala. For her second day, she broke the no red on the red carpet rule, turning up in an off-shoulder ruffled Ralph and Russo gown. However, it was her daughter Aaradhya who stole the show in a pink frock.

The third to make an appearance, Sonam chose a gorgeous, and might we add, brilliant, pink gown by Ellie Saab, teaming her look with Kalyan Jewellery. The floral motif gown created the necessary amount of drama with its sleeves. It was cinched at the waist with a slim belt, giving the outfit structure and accentuating the actress' body.
