Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, the queen of Cannes, is back in the picturesque French city to represent an international cosmetic brand. And once again, she is accompanied by her trusted companion, her five-year-old daughter Aaradhya Bachchan.

The Jazbaa actor and her daughter who left Mumbai on May 18, is all set to make her grand red carpet appearance at the Cannes Film Festival on May 19 and May 20.

And given her past record, she is bound to be the festival's biggest show stopper. But it wasn't Aishwarya who stole the show when she left and arrived at Cannes, but her daughter who couldn't hold her giggles, just like her mum.

The cute five-year-old posed happily for photographers as the mother-daughter duo were seen departing for Cannes and was as chirpy and excited when she reached the French city.

Well, it seems in their case the saying is true, "Like mother, like daughter." Click 'Start Gallery' to see how Aishwarya surprised the photographers and even spoke about her well-wishers.

Aaradhya perfects the 'model pose'

The five-year-old Aaradhya is often papped with her mother, but she has never posed or even smiled for the photographers at will.

However, this time around she seemed different. She was a chirpy little girl accompanying her mother on a short trip and looked elated.

In fact, she smiled, laughed and giggled her way into the airport and belted out model-like poses. Not to forget, she flaunted a cute pink Gucci purse too!

Obviously this even took Aishwarya by surprise who was trying hard to control her giggly daughter.

Aaradhya and Aishwarya arrive at Cannes

While the famous granddaughter surprised everybody including her mum with her giggles and poses, when they reached Cannes after a long-haul flight, Aaradhya couldn't help but continue her cute giggle marathon.

The mother-daughter duo were welcomed by the organisers and the youngest Bachchan beti who seemed aware of being photographer smiled again for the camera.

Aaradhya wows everybody at Cannes

Since today is the first day of the festival for Aishwarya, the Jazbaa star will be sitting in for interviews with the press and she took her darling daughter along this time.

This year will be Aishwary's 15th year at the Canne film festival and Aaradhya's fifth. The young bub has been accompanying her mum since she was just six-months-old.

However, the only difference this year is that the mother-daughter duo will not be accompanied by naani Vrinda Rai who recently lost her husband, Shri Krishnaraj Rai.

Aaradhya's fifth appearance at Cannes

Over the five years, Aaradhya has seen most of the areas in and around Cannes. Post the red carpet appearances, Aishwarya is often seen taking Aaradhya out for sightseeing.

And it remains to be seen where the mother-daughter duo will head out this year. Either way, this fashionable duo are all set to take over Cannes and we'll be watching!
