- IndiaGlitz, [Saturday,April 23 2011]
BollywoodÂs hot beauties Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Sonam Kapoor and Freida Pinto is reported to light up the Red Carpet for LÂOreal Paris at the Cannes Film Festival to be held from the 11th-22nd of May 2011.
Interestingly, it is for the first time that LÂOreal Paris will have 3 spokeswomen representing India at Cannes, a testimony to IndiaÂs growing influence on the world stage.
Aishwarya, who celebrates a decade of representing LÂOreal Paris at Cannes, will like previous years walk the red carpet on May 11 for the opening ceremony and will attend the Opening Gala cocktail and dinner while attending various events at Cannes on May 12.
Said the diva in a statement, ÂBeing at Cannes for LÂOreal Paris has been an absolute pleasure and to experience this for the tenth consecutive year has been quite overwhelming. I thank the LÂOreal Paris team and the Cannes Film Festival for inviting me every year to represent India at one of the most glamorous red carpets on the world platform, celebrating cinema, showbiz, beauty, diversity and excellence. Several countries have always had more than one LÂOreal Paris spokeswoman at Cannes and IÂm glad India is finally getting the same recognition. I am happy that with Sonam and Freida, both beautiful women, being invited to the festival this year, India will have a stronger presence, which is a clear sign of the growing importance of the country.Â
While Sonam will be walking the red carpet on May 15, Freida will represent LÂOreal Paris at the amFAR (The American Foundation for AIDS Research) dinner and after-party on May 19. The amFAR event co-sponsored by LÂOreal Paris aims at raising money against AIDS.
On the other hand Sonam stated, ÂIt has always been my dream to walk the red carpet at Cannes and it is soon going to be a reality thanks to LÂOreal Paris. I look forward to meeting actors and film makers from the world over and attending screenings of some interesting films. But what excites me the most is meeting the LÂOreal Paris international dream team of make-up artistes and seeing how they transform me for one of the most glamorous red carpets in the world.Â
LÂOreal Paris will also introduce its first dream team of three internationally renowned make-up artists  Karim Rahman, Billy B and Rie Omoto who will design exclusive make-up looks for all the spokeswomen, jury members and actresses present during the course of the festival.
