She looked fantastic: Abhishek on Aishwarya's purple pout

Mumbai: While actress Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's pop purple lip colour during an appearance at the 69th Cannes Film Festival got mixed reactions from her fans and the fashion police, her husband Abhishek Bachchan found her look "fantastic".

Asked to comment on Aishwarya’s purple pout, he told IANS: "I think she looked fantastic ... She always does."

Aishwarya's choice of lip colour turned out to be a head turner at the red carpet, but her look was trolled widely on social media. She paired it with an embellished light pink Rami Kadi dress.

The actress, whose forthcoming film "Sarbjit" was showcased at the gala, attended the fest for the 15th year as brand ambassador of cosmetic giant L’Oréal Paris.
