Call it glitz, call it glamour or a star-studded affair, there’s nothing quite like the Cannes Film Festival. This grandeur festival is nothing but a yearly delight of sparkly couture ball gowns and A-list beautiful faces. Every year the crème de la crème of the industry flock to the French Riveria, in May, for the most-awaited event of the year. From Sonam Kapoor to Aishwarya Rai, and now even Deepika Padukone, this red-carpet has witnessed all our leading beauties, minus one. Any guesses who?

Enter: Priyanka Chopra

The global superstar and fashion icon who’s made her presence felt on every red-carpet, including the Oscars and the Met Gala (remember the dress whose memes went viral?), has somehow, never been spotted at this prestigious event. The actress whose Sikkimese production Pahuna was screened at the festival, last year, couldn’t make it to the fest, much to our dismay, cause of her Baywatch movie promotions.

With the next edition of Cannes almost in sight, the only thought that cropped into our mind was - Will PeeCee finally make her appearance at the event?

It’s no secret that our B-town beauties Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone and Sonam Kapoor have made their presence felt in this invite-only event because of their tie-up with L’Oreal Paris, as brand ambassadors. With rumor mills buzzing that Priyanka will be soon taken on board as the brand ambassador for this luxury hair band, we wonder if Piggy Chops will finally strut down the French Riviera runway, while representing this label. What are your thoughts?

If not for L’Oreal, how about, hypothetically, Priyanka turns ambassador for Chopard? Chopard, another official partner of the festival, has roped in BadGirl Rihanna as their brand ambassador. Now what an uh-amazing collaboration would it be, if Chopard and Miss Chopra come together! Besides her being the only Indian to represent the luxury label, it’ll also get our fashionista on the much-awaited Cannes runway! Double Whammy!

If not for the above, what about Priyanka being invited as one of the jury members? Yes, if Bachchan bahu, Aishwarya Rai, went down in history, for being the first Indian female actor to be invited to Cannes as a jury member, back in 2003, and Vidya Balan being a part of the 9-member jury in 2013, chances of this global superstar being invited for the same, are not very minuscule. What an amazing way to make your debut! *fingers crossed*

Last but not the least; Miss Chopra making her way through yet another movie. Let’s hope that the actress who failed to turn up for her Pahuna screening, last year, comes up with yet another blockbuster movie, and graces the event like the beautiful boss lady, that she is!
