L’Oréal Paris ambassadors sizzle on Day 7 of red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival 2017

L’Oréal Paris Ambassadors Eva Longoria, Irina Shayk, Barbara Palvin and Bianca Balti set the fashion stakes higher on Day 7 of the red carpet at Festival De Cannes.

Barbara Palvin looked sensational as she stepped out in an Armani Privé couture creation with beautiful diamonds from Akillis. She opted for a nude look, with just a dash of mascara for her lashes, pinkish-nude lips and a touch of pink for her cheeks.

Irina Shayk sizzled in a custom-made, yellow shimmer dress by Donatelle Versace. With a thigh high slit and a dramatic train, she teamed this smouldering ensemble with jewellery from Lorraine Schwartz. She went for a minimalistic look with just the right amount of mascara for her lashes to complement her pretty pink pout.

Bianca Balti donned a Dolce and Gabbana Alta Moda embroidered gown styled with DeGrisogono statement earrings. Keeping in sync with the nude look for the day, she too went for light pink lips and complemented it with the perfect winged liner to enhance her eyes.

Eva Longoria stood out in her high-neck, Pamella Roland floor-length gown, teaming it with jewellery from Messika and shoes from Casadei. With turquoise smoky eyes and nude lips, Eva looked gorgeous as ever.

Mr. Harsh Goenka, Chairman, RPG Enterprises, said, “Last year saw a lot of explosive action across all formats of cricket. The year saw some outstanding performances, but some individuals broke away from the pack owing to their blistering and consistent performances throughout the year. Their performances from time to time brought joy to our faces and we are delighted to felicitate one of them at this year’s CEAT Cricket Rating Awards. We would like to congratulate R Ashwin and young Shubman Gill for entertaining us throughout the year and would like to wish them the best for the upcoming season."

India’s Right Arm Off break R Ashwin was announced as the CEAT International Cricketer of the Year for finishing a scintillating year with 99 wickets, which included 9 five wicket hauls. Rewarding and encouraging young talent, India’s Shubman Gill who played a great role in Indian U-19 win against England, amassing a whopping 603 runs in 9 games at an impressive average on 67, was awarded as CEAT Young Player of the Year.

“Last year I was honored with the International Bowler of the Year award. And it’s only become bigger and better with this award – The CEAT International Cricketer of the Year. It’s an absolute honor to receive this award and given the players who have won this award before me, it’s a huge motivator as well to keep the consistency going. I would like to thank CEAT for their token of appreciation. I am thrilled and feel privileged to be part of an exclusive club,” said R Ashwin on receiving the honors.

Speaking on the occasion cricket legend and the chief adjudicator of the CEAT Cricket Rating, Mr. Sunil Gavaskar said, “The CEAT International Cricket Awards are one of the most coveted awards in the cricketing world simply because they are given purely on performance and not on any subjective likes or dislikes.”
