The Internet can't stop talking about Aishwarya Rai's purple lips at Cannes
Indian actress and former Miss World Aishwarya Rai's annual appearance at the Cannes Film Festival is a closely watched affair in India. This year, Rai startled a lot of people when she appeared on the red carpet with purple lips.
Rai wore the lip shade with a Rami Kadi floral gown for the premiere of her forthcoming film Sarbjit. The look divided Twitter, with some hailing it as an edgy beauty trend and others joking about it.

A Cannes veteran, Rai however, couldn't care less about the fashion police.
"I was not nervous (abut the Cannes look) as it has been 15 years (since I have been) representing L’Oreal here. I enjoy fashion and I treat it like art," she told reporters. "So it doesn't stress me out. It doesn't get me nervous... I am a professional."
