This Bollywood Star Was a Real-Life Cinderella in Cannes Thanks to a Dubai-Based Designer

Bollywood star and resident Cannes queen, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, never fails to turn heads on the red carpet of this prestigious film festival. This year was no different, except she took a piece of the Middle East with her to the French Rivera.

The 43-year-old actress – and former Miss World – stunned everyone in a powder blue, Cinderella-esque gown by Dubai-based Fillipino designer Micheal Cinco. This breathtaking off-the-shoulder couture gown is actually from Micheal's "Impalpable Dream of Versailles" collection, and features hand-sewn silver lace and multiple layers of tulle. "To see [Aishwarya] wearing my couture dress on the red carpet in Cannes Film Festival is a dream come true," Cinco told Gulf News.

After moving to Dubai from Philippines some 19 years ago, Cinco established his brand by catering mostly to the region's rich and famous. He has since crossed the waters and forayed into Hollywood by dressing celebrities including Beyonce, Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Jennifer Lopez, Christina Aguilera and Britney Spears.

Michael Cinco, you have raised the bar very, very high it seems!
