Nowadays, the Cannes Film Festival is all about walking in the best designer outfits. However, back in those days, it was the celebrity’s presence that mattered the most, not the label they were wearing. Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan first walked the red carpet of Cannes in 2002 for the screening of their film, Devdas. 

For the press conference, Aishwarya looked stunning in a white ensemble. Her outfit featured a crop top, which she layered with a thread-work embellished jacket, and it was paired with white pants. Aishwarya kept her look minimal with a minimal diamond neckpiece and matching earrings. Subtle makeup with soft eyes, eyeliner, glossy lips and her side-parted hairstyle completed her look.

On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan looked dapper in a V-neck black-hued sweater, which he teamed with blue denim. In one of the photos, Aishwarya was seen laughing out loud as SRK held her. The pictures made fans go gaga as they went nostalgic.
