Behind the scenes: Sonam Kapoor is living it up at Cannes!

Sonam Kapoor's Instagram is a magical window into her glam stint in the French Riviera.

Going by her public appearance, it wouldn't be wrong to assume that everything Sonam Kapoor does is as picture-perfect and classy as her red carpet appearances.

So it doesn't come as a surprise to us to tumble upon her gorgeous pictures from Cannes, away from the flashbulbs, where she is taking in the scenic sights, calling it a day and gushing over selfies with Hollywood stars.

Sonam takes in the sights from her hotel room on day one of the 68th Cannes film festival in an exquisite Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla outfit.

Doesn't it make you wish she'd worn this on the red carpet instead of the cobalt blue gown?

How very elegantly regal does she look in this Abu Sandeep fusion legenga?

Here is the actress posing for pictures with L'Oreal President Cyril Chapuy minutes before her first red carpet appearance.

And the ultimate diva gets into the car, the voluminous gown and its train in tow, for her first appearance at the Cannes 2015 red carpet!

Even before she's gone in for hair and makeup, the desi fashionista is a stylish vision in her billowy dress and oversized sunnies.

Here's the Prem Ratan Dhan Paayo actress posing for a selfie with actress-model and fellow L'Oreal brand ambassador Andie MacDowell.

'A selfie with the beautiful @andiemacdowell3 ! Thank you for being so nice,' she gushes.

Even her PJs are photoshoot ready!

'Morning #cannes2015 shoot day! With all my fellow @lorealparisin ambassadors! (After a night of couture every girl needs her poodle pjs! ),' Sonam captions this picture.

Hanging out with Hollywood biggies and supermodels at the Chopard party is a part of a regular day in Sonam's life at Cannes.

Remember that overwhelming Elie Saab gown that Sonam put on for yet another red carpet appearance?

Here's how she got spruced up to create that dramatic effect with the help of her team.
