MUMBAI: Bollywood actress Katrina Kaif will make her debut at the Cannes film festival this year. Following the footsteps of Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Sonam Kapoor, the actress will grace the red carpet at the 68th Cannes International Film Festival as the ambassador of cosmetic brand L’Oreal Paris. She says she can’t wait to join the other global ambassadors, which also include Aishwarya and Sonam.

L’Oreal Paris will celebrate 18 years of its partnership as the official makeup partner for Festival De Cannes, and it promises an exciting line-up of its spokespeople ready to walk the red carpet from May 13-24.

In the past, Aishwarya and Sonam have made India proud with their stunning beauty and fashion statements, and now Katrina — who has worked with top-notch stars and filmmakers in her over decade-long acting career in Bollywood — is ready to sport a specially created look for her debut at Cannes.

“I’m very excited to represent L’Oreal Paris and India at the Cannes Film Festival this year. Being an actor, it is very inspiring to attend an event that celebrates all forms of cinema. As a L’Oreal Paris ambassador, I can’t wait to meet the other global ambassadors and help set new beauty trends for this year,” Katrina said in a statement.

Sonam is also happy to welcome Katrina to the film jamboree.
