Cannes has been getting ample doses of Bollywood glamour courtesy Aishwarya Rai and Mallika Sherawat, but it was Deepika Padukone who flew the flag for India high today on the French Riviera, looking glamorous in a sari.While both Aishwarya and Mallika opted for Western couture, the 24-year-old took the six yard route to style as she stepped out on the red carpet in a Rohit Bal sari.She teamed the cream and gold confection with Kundan jewelery, a stone studded clutch and added a quirky touch with a chunky watch.The former model's traditional attire was complimented by a sparkly bindi and a neat bun, which left the 'RK' tattoo on her neck visible.Deepika who is at the prestigious film festival as the brand ambassador of Chivas Regal, attended Mathieu Amalric's French movie, Tournee along with Bal."When one is representing India in a very visible platform like the Cannes, gowns and elaborate western dresses do not really represent India. One should not only feel Indian, but also look Indian," the designer said.The criticism seems to be levelled at Aishwarya, who always opts for Western designers for her stint at the film festival.The 36-year-old wore a violet tulle and mousseline gown from Elie Saab for the festival opening, but her ensemble did not win her any brownie points as her pompadour updo was criticised as "matronly".For her second outing on the red carpet with fellow L'Oreal spokesmodel Eva Longoria, Aishwarya opted for a black Armani Prive strapless number, which hugged her curves.Meanwhile Mallika who likes to shock with her fashion choices, has kept a low profile this year.
