Mallika Sherawat, who has been a regular at the Cannes International Film Festival since 2010, is the first among the Bollywood brigade to walk the red carpet this year.

The actress attended the Cafe Society premiere and the Opening Night Gala at the 69th annual Cannes Film Festival in France, which kicked off on May 11.

Ms Sherawat wore a Georges Hobeika gown which she teamed up with a diamond neck piece from Maison Mellerio. We must admit, she looked absolutely STUNNING!

A look at her red carpet pictures.
