PIX: Vidya Balan, Mallika's style statement at Cannes

After a mild backlash for her matronly blouses and over-the-top accessories, Vidya Balan made a splash in a very elegant look as she arrived for the premiere of Bombay Talkies on May 19 at the Palais Des Festivals.

Dressed in another Sabya sari, the actress looked way better put together than her previous red carpet looks.

Always mixing it up with her favoured hairstyle, the actress and jury member ditched her slicked back hair look for a more wavy updo.

Big statement earrings and a tiny bindi finished off the look.

Vidya will be making red carpet appearances every day as part of her jury duties at the film festival.

The actress also joined Telugu star Chiranjeevi and his family -- wife Surekha, actor son Ram Charan Teja and daughter-in-law Upasana Kamineni -- on the red carpet.

Meanwhile, Mallika Sherawat continued to surprise us with her refined sartorial choices on the Cannes red carpet.

Dressed in a full-skirted Dolce & Gabbana number, the actress attended the Inside Llewyn Davis premiere.

Complementing her gothic dress, the actress went easy on her eye makeup and kept things bright by adding a natural shade of lip colour.

The lacy dress seemed to have come straight out of a Tim Burton movie with its dark-coloured details and sheer fabric.

Known for her bizarre Cannes outings over the years, this formerly LA-based seductress has sure been a red carpet hit this season.

The actress smiles for the cameras on her way to the premiere.

Actress Tejaswini Kolhapure, who stars in Anurag Kashyap's Ugly, poses for cameras in her sparkly sari.

Ugly was screened over the weekend as part of Director's Fortnight at Cannes.

Another Indian film that was screened at the festival was Ritesh Batra's directorial debut Lunchbox, described by critics as heartwarming, starring Irrfan, Nawazuddin Siddiqui and Nimrat Kaur.

The director posed for pictures on the red carpet with Vasant Bala, producer Guneet Monga and his actors, ahead of the screening.
