The famed Cannes International Film Festival that's held in the French Riviera every year, is scheduled to commence May 16 this year. Apart from Indian films being included for screenings and competition, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan's appearance at the fest is one of the talking points, like every year.

While the actress got on a wrong foot during her early days in Cannes, her transformation into an international celebrity has been astounding. Apart from wearing the most renowned designers, she has also experimented with hairdos quite well. Here's looking at Aishwarya's Cannes highlights, hair-wise!

Ms Firece Ash came out of her comfort zone and put on an edgy Armani Prive gown as she attended the premiere of Sleeping Beauty on day two of Cannes last year. Her tight updo complemented her outfit really well. This is one side of the actress we'd love to see more often.
