'The Birth of Venus', is how couturier Gaurav Gupta describes Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's Cannes 2022 red carpet ensemble. The custom look is said to have taken 3500 man-hours to make. Dressed with thousands of glass beads and crystals, along with intricate embroidery all over, the sculptured and sinewed outfit that takes inspiration from Italian artist Botticelli's famous painting stood out on the red carpet for its immaculate construction. Gupta created a fashion-art moment at the 2022 Cannes Film Festival carpet with this Venus sculpture. The gown connotes Rai Bachchan's timeless charm and strong grace, effortlessly.
It's been a big few months for the Delhi-based couturier whose gossamer powder blue creation was worn by Cardi B for her recent music video. Now, yet another important international red carpet and on the woman of the hour, Gupta has added yet another feather to his already full cap.
After multiple brainstorming sessions and transatlantic Zoom calls, this look finally came to fruition. “We live for art. We wanted to create magic, and Aishwarya’s timeless beauty has an
almost other worldly charm, she inspires stories. Presenting Aishwarya as the new-concept Venus," the designer told Vogue.
