From winning the Miss World crown to appearing at Cannes Film Festival for years, when Aishwarya does decide to make a statement, she ensures the world takes note. Be it slinky cocktail dresses, trailing gowns or sarees, the actor has always made headlines with her notable fashion choices. On the occasion of her birthday, let's revisit the global fashion diva's five most iconic appearances:

The Cinderella gown-- The 'Guru' actor was a vision to behold when she walked the 2017 Cannes red carpet in this Michael Cinco icy blue gown. Keeping her hair middle-parted and straight, Aishwarya showcased her relentless magic by sporting brown nude makeup.

The 'Gold' queen-- The diva oozed oomph in this metallic gown with a long trail at the 2019 Cannes red carpet. The dramatic body-hugging gown had a snakeskin textured fabric. The diva's 9-year-old daughter Aaradhya Bachchan also debuted at the international event by walking with her mother in a lemon hue tulle asymmetrical dress.

The royal butterfly-- Aish turned heads at the 2018 Cannes festival by sporting this stunning Michael Cinco purple butterfly gown with reportedly a 20 feet-long train. The gown had hints of a French colour palette. The sequenced body-hugging silhouette and sweetheart neckline complimented Aish's figure perfectly. It was a major 'wow' moment for fans of the Bollywood diva, who completed her look with a pair of blingy earrings, shimmery purple eye makeup, middle-parted hair and bold red lips.

Oozing oomph in multiple-hue dress-- The diva took the 2019 Le Defile L'Oreal Paris Fashion Week ablaze by strutting down the ramp in this pink multi-hued dress with a long trail. Aishwarya opted for shimmery makeup with colour coordination of pink and purple. Her bold red lipstick complemented the look which she completed with her diamond studs. The 'Devdas' star kept her hair tied in a high ball styled bun. She also made heads turn with her stunning white-fringed sandals.

The actor even experimented with her fashion game by wearing a purple lipstick at Cannes Film Festival 2016. So, when it's about Aishwarya, it gets quite difficult to choose a few of her best appearances because whenever the diva steps out, she makes sure to grab everyone's attention.
