Bring them spotlights in, get your shiny shoes out, it’s almost time for one of the greatest soirees of the year. The Cannes Film Festival is here and we’re more than just excited! Sonam Kapoor, Kangana Ranaut, Deepika Padukone and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan will be attending the fest in their dazzling best and we cannot wait to see A-game at the red carpet!

While we wait for it to happen, we certainly have some expectations for what we’d like to see this time. Given their past appearance, sartorial tastes and personal styles, here’s what we think the divas should wear at one of the biggest and greatest sartorial events of the year.

From airport looks and press-event #OOTD’s to the ultimate grandeur at the red carpet, expect a lot of sartorial inspo coming your way, in 3…2…1…

Deepika Padukone

Classic, feminine and haute, Deepika has always kept her most fashionable foot forward at every gala. With stylist Shaleena Nathani backing her modish decisions, here’s what we expect from Deepika this time:

Airport

While the actress keeps it chic and cazz at the airport, here are some options we’d like to see her try. Give those legs a breather DP, we’d love a cute dress on you!

Louis Vuitton dress; DVF separates

Press Events

Yves Saint Laurent; Deepika at Cannes 2018; YVes Saint Laurent dress;

Cannes is a lot more than just the red-carpet! The diva has always kept it low-key and simple at the press-cons while she saves the big-guns for the main event. But we’d love to see her taking a risk, or rather, a risqué decision this time.

Oscar De La Renta ensembles

She can deffo pull this off and we know it!

Red Carpet

Oscar De La Renta number; Vera Wang ensemble

Bring the action! Gone are the flowy gowns, we’d love to see something more...

Giambattista Valli Paris gown; Alexander McQueen number

Or maybe the hues with the grandeur might do it for her.

What do you think?

Kangana Ranaut

Bold and beautiful, Kangana is always full of surprises. Last year the actress served us major looks, from personifying a disco-ball to the good-ol’ retro saree. But this time, we’d like to see her in her glorious, girly avatar. Here’s what we are looking forward to:

Airport

Kangana often opts for the breezy dresses, light sarees and cotton kurtas. Well, how would you like a cute dress or a straight-up suit on her? Dreamy, right?!

Pull & Bear, Varan World

Surprise us gurl, we’re counting on you.

The actress steps out of the box for her looks and we love it! Edgy at best, here are some options that would seal the deal for her

Dior, Giambattista Valli Paris; Dior

Feminine, bold and ultra-chic? That’s Kangs for you!

Red Carpet

Kangana at Cannes 2018; Zuhair Murad

While we love her ultra-dramatic looks, we’d like to see her try something that’s more feminine, if not girly and delicate.

Also, some pop of color would be great with an extra dollop of sass! Check this out:

Giambattista Valli Paris; Christian Siriano

Can you picture it?

Sonam Kapoor

The fashionista knows what she’s doing and she does it right…but it’s time to break the fences, don’t you think?

Airport

Louis Vuitton ensembles; Sonam at the airport

Ditch the breezy Sonam, here’s what you can wear instead!

Press Events

Sonam Kapoor; Oscar De La Renta dress; Ashi studio ensemble

Get your jazz on gurl, go wild this time with your #OOTD’s. Here are some gasp-eliciting options for the stunner:

Ashi studio; Louis Vuitton

We can imagine this and we love it!

Red Carpet

Vera Wang, Giambattista Valli Paris; Ashi Studio

Go big or go home, that’s always been Sonam’s mantra. While we totally dig the vibe, we’d like to see her try something more risqué this time.

Versace; Jean Paul Gaultier; Ester Abner

Nothing like a hot-black dress, right? You got this bub!

Aishwarya Rai Bachchan

The stunner breaks all doors for this festival alone. We’ve seen Aishwarya’s top-most fashion moments at the Cannes Festival and we can all agree to that!
