This year has been quite eventful for Aishwarya Rai Bachchan.
The 38-year-old actress wowed everyone at the Cannes Film Festival, graced magazine covers in sensational outfits, was closely watched during her pregnancy whenever she stepped out, and then gave birth to her baby girl.
We decided to focus on Ash's style file of 2011, and highlight quite a few winners here. Take a look.
Oscar glory

The actress chose another Armani Prive gown for the Cannes Film Festival in May.
The similarity ended right there.
Ditching her conservative approach to red carpet style, Aishwarya ventured in new territory with this fashion-forward gown and stole hearts.

Ash outdid herself with this gorgeous gown from Lebanese designer Elie Saab for another Cannes appearance.
The look, the pose, everything was spot on!

The actress went the casual route for Heroine's photocall at Cannes in a silk Lanvin trench dress and absolutely nailed the look.
It was refreshing to see Ash do such fabulous looks one after another.

Ash's good run with clothes followed her back home as she attended Shah Rukh Khan's bash for Karan Johar's birthday later in May.
She wore a daisy gold dress from an Australian designer to the bash.

The actress flaunted her youthful looks in a Baywatch-style neckline as she rocked the cover of Cosmopolitan magazine before jetting off to Cannes.
Diabolic designs

The dramatic feathered shoulders and just a hint of cleavage made the cover sensational.
Baby bash

While hubby Abhishek never left her side, the mum was showered with gifts and blessings.
Festive fervour

She took special care to hide her baby bump.

The actress wore a garish Abu Jani-Sandeep Khosla outfit for the designers' bash a few days before she went into labour.
A good attempt to camouflage her belly, the dress was quite over the top.
