In her first red carpet appearance at the Cannes Film Festival this year, Bollywood actress Sonam Kapoor looked stunning in British haute couture fashion house Ralph & Russo's white elaborate gown.

The 30-year-old Indian fashionista chose to keep her make up minimal with center-parted hair and gold eyes that went well with a shoulder cutout and an embroidered trail of the sari-inspired gown.

"Amaze!!! @ralphandrusso saree inspired gown! @RheaKapoor @lorealparis @thehouseofpixels," she tweeted.

This is not the first time Sonam opted for Ralph & Russo. She had worn a blue ballgown in her last outing at the prestigious film festival.

"@sonamakapoor looked sensational in custom Ralph & Russo at the screening of 'The Land and The Moon' #Cannes2016," wrote the official Twitter feed of Ralph & Russo.
