## 2002 in Neeta Lulla

She debuted at Cannes on behalf of *Devdas*, a movie that was up for some BAFTAs and I believe is considered the beginning of her getting international attention. (The man is her director/costar.) She looks magnificent in this sari. It's not overly elaborate; it just gently glitters, and the color is super.

I believe this is what's called "hiding your light under a moderate bushel." It's not as bad as I originally feared, but I don't LOVE the separates and the dingy loafers. (I wrote "dungy" at first and they ARE a bit dung-esque.) Aishwarya was on the jury this year -- the first Indian woman t hold that honor -- alongside, yes, Meg Ryan up there. Meg looks slick.

This is another one where I think the bottom of the necklace is hidden. I LOVE the green, though. She can wear any color.

There is a lot of stunning work in this. But I'm not wild about the bodice or how the necklace slips beneath it -- that feels badly planned.

From behind, though, she looks like a human phoenix.

That's a cool necklace but this gown makes me think of expensively boring wallpaper. As opposed to the times when we mean that as a compliment.

This feels a little Irina Shayk for me.

This, for me, is all about the snake necklace (I assume it's Bulgari, like Naomi Watts's?) The dress itself is snug and strangely built. Who wants a labial knot?

And THIS is going for a similar drape as the blue down, but with the crotch knot edited out. The bodice is similar. It's OKAY but to me looks a bit more like bad folding.

## 2009 in Cavalli

![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2020/05/shutterstock_editorial_923033r-1589391743.jpg)

Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Fisher/Shutterstock (923033r) Aishwarya Rai 'Up' Film Premiere at the 62nd Cannes Film Festival, Cannes, France - 13 May 2009 The latest animated film from Disney's Pixar studios tells the story of Carl Fredricksen (Edward Asner), a retired 78-year-old balloon salesman. When Carl was a child, he met and eventually married a girl named Ellie who grew up in a small midwestern town. Ellie always dreamed of visiting South America, but she died before she got a chance. Now, when developers threaten to move him into an assisted living home, Carl decides to fulfill his promise to Ellie. To accomplish this, he uses 10,000 balloons to make the house fly - but unwittingly takes a chubby eight-year-old Wilderness Explorer named Russell with him. The two opposites match up for thrilling adventures as they encounter wild terrain, unexpected foes, and all the terrifying creatures that wait in the Venezuelan jungle.

This feels more subtle than much of Cavalli's work. It's pretty enough but it's not that knockout moment. Those are coming.

Spring. As Nature gradually awakens and an intoxicating spring breeze full of life blows, love and sexual passion grow in the hearts of Jiang Cheng, his friend Luo Haitao and Xiaoxue, a beautiful young woman, as they drive together to the coast. All three fall prey to an exhilarating sickness of the senses, a dangerous malady that misleads the heart A beautiful erotic "menage à trois".

But, THERE we go. That's what I was waiting for from her 2009 collection. This is so regal.

I found an article about her here that, in the same breath, talked about how she'd "received criticism for her weight gain post-pregnancy" and then referred to her "plus-size curves." Just leave it be, dudes. She is a STUNNING woman AND SHE HAD A BABY. I don't care for the belt -- it doesn't look like it belongs there -- but the sparkles are lovely.

The Indian Express said this was the worst outfit of the entire Cannes Film Festival that year. Now, I am not fluent enough in the ins and outs of saris to know about that, but in 2013, [Paz Vega wore this](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/cannes-fug-carpet-paz-vega-05-2013/) and SURELY that's worse.

THIS, to me, is a divine deployment of that beige on her. The dress is interesting, the makeup is dramatic... the necklace only LOOKS like it's dropping into her cleav (it's actually just draped around her neck). into her cleav is never my choice but it certainly makes

This never stood a chance in comparison, and much like with those two Cavallis and the Armani in 2014, I don't know why she packed them both to be worn back to back. One blunts the other.

For most people THIS would be a big statement gown. For her it was like a small secondary aside.

This is hella groovy. I'm not sure about parts of the dress itself, but the iridescence and the dramatic sleeve are kind of amazing. She's like a foxy alien priestess.

And the train is fabulous. Precise, geometrically interesting, perfect for photos. But this ALSO wasn't even her primary statement of last year's festival. This next one was.

She is dressed as the world's most luxurious bed. It's like she is living in a ten-star hotel and woke up and rolled over and had Champagne and caviar and was in full makeup and smelled like flowers.
